Left Hand Boogie Bass - Free Piano Lessons

[PianoMusicLessons]

not sure i fully understand your question--do you mean if you put an A in the bass line and play the notes you outlines below in your right hand will this work? the answer is yes. you'd essentially be playing around with an a blues scale or an a minor harmony. hope this helps!

If I did a base line of say C Octave C G A E Flat E G A and used the blues scale would this sound right having an A in the baseline?

Many thanks

Always wondered how to make the left hand sound more busy. Glad to finally have a method now. Thx

my best advice is to take it VERY slowly. if the LH and RH are not working together, slow it down. don't speed it up until you've got them together slow. your hands need to feel what it is like to work together in that pattern so it's best to introduce them to it at as slow of a tempo as possible. hope this helps!

Thank you for that video Piano. I have been stabbing chords on the piano/keyboard for 26 years now but I never could do boogie woogie. I can learn off anything on the right hand but because I have always used the left for single bass notes, my hand is like a rock trying to navigate the bass notes. Can you suggest a good practice to help me get fluent on the left hand? I also find trying to combine the time signatures of left with right REALLY hard!! Many thanks!

with boogie sticking with the blues scale will always work nicely for you. aside from scales, you cal also experiment with arpeggiating 7th chords. Build your licks around the chord tones of the chord. So, if it's C7 as the chord, the chord tones are C-E-G-Bb. Your lines/licks that you are playing should be centered around those notes. Hope this helps!

I'm tryin to learn how to play boogie (improvised ofc) and I need some more cool soundin scales ;)
