yes because with boogie woogie, the left hand is your bass. If your left hand is out of rythm and doesnt have this solid beat you dont have the abbility to add the right hand so yes the left is important :) boogie on!
Man! You rock those ivories! I've played for decades and don't even touch on your talent. I love this stuff, have spent the last hour just watching YOU and all I say is just keep doing it, keep at it, add the videos and enjoy. You deserve this attention! A pleasure.
It's really starting to amaze me how inventive you are at putting together right hand creativity. Such a fine touch, stable and clear and totally rockin' to the boogie from beginning to end. Real improvisation is going on in these pieces of your own making. The strength, speed, and certainty of the left hand do not come overnight. Great playing Eeco, more lessons please, for those of us who want to learn to improve, or those just beginning. Get your bass player and drummer for some gigs!
Hi freaky. from the uk, Your the tops man, Last heard playing like that, was in the forties.I am an ex piper , struggling with the piano,Piano was allways my first love, untill i went in the army, as a piper.
Your lessons have helped me a lot, especially the slow ones, i love boogie & swing. Trying to get my right hand now, playing with the left.
Dave brubeck is still playing great, Pinetop Perkins still rocks the ivories and he's 92, Jay McShann also still knows how to unlock those old jump numbers and he's around the same age as Brubeck :)
Eeco is able to play with the same acuracy and feel as someone that has been playing for 40/50 years, which is a gift in itself :)
Great nice boogie. I heard it's possible reach 80 years old and still play boogie woogie fast, if had no deterioret desease. I'm starting learning classic piano and trying few boogie woogies, so I hope when even 80 have a nice thing to present well :-)
Do you mean since when did I start to play the piano? I started when I was 7 with classic till my 16th and then changed to swing(boogie woogie), it was difficult to change but evetually it worked out :)
Just a big "thank you" for the videos you're posting. I think I shared a piano with you during the 1st Dutch Boogie Woogie Festival's afterparty (2004, was it?) and I could already see you were gonna be big!
Hope to battle with you someday, although I've stopped playing after I studied the Honky Tonk Train Blues. Would love to pick it up again.
You should make a CD/mp3's because you are seriously the best boogie woogie player I have seen/heard. Even out of all the famous boogie players after the trio of the 30's & 40's... You are up there with Axel Zwingenberger! :P If you got a bass/drum player you could then post some videos of you playing together. Now they would be some of the best music videos on YouTube!! ;)
now that is bad to the bone !

freakyhead20 5 years ago
That's what I like, right there. In the 40's if a song like that came on the radio, we would get up and dance,including mom and dad...lol.
