Thank you, it is indeed tricky and I wouldn't be able to play it without the book. All those different syncopated rhythms (sometimes four 2 for each hand) made it to difficult for me to figure it out by ear and play it by memory. I did study it "the classical way" so being able to read was a necessity for me. Oh, and don't be discouraged, have fun. I still laugh when I make mistakes.
Awesome, this is a VERY tricky piece of music, way beyond my musical horizon, and you play it like that atter a mere two months? This is discouraging, I should stop playing ...
Booker's music is fascinating and incredibly complex, yet when watching it on the keyboard it looks so fluent and easy. You are very, very impressive - hat off!
Being able to read music will probably help; I do have the book myself but cannot read music, so my learning is by slowed-down recordings, making it even harder.
2 months,expected to do this in 1 month but it was hard to make the rhythm go fluently through the whole piece. I think I have over-practiced it with 1 hour a day and it is still not up there but I do like the performance. Have to do this on a real piano one day. But this is a hard one it will always take a few hours to keep up.
yea, the timing is off a little, but it still sounds great. i still watch it a few times a week. i don't know how easy it is for you to learn songs, but it feels like it's gonna take me forever to get both hands down together.
Yeah, it's Booker with a difficult style that was unique. I practiced it real slow and then I concentrated on the left hand. I already knew the song because it is on one of my favorite CD's. But making the rhytm work required a lot of patience and discipline.
Thank you, yes it is hard. Concentrate on the left hand first , make it run fluently so that you can feel confident with it. If you can do that you own half the piece. Hope that helps.
Thank you. It must have been a hell of a job figuring out James Bookers work and getting it on paper. I'm glad you did because that polyrithmic piano work can be very confusing. I didn't manage apart from a few licks.
Misschien, de gitarist (onnogitaar) die ook op mijn channel staat heeft nu een eigen account. Die wil wel eens folk spelen maar dan wel balfolk. Bedankt voor de reactie.

Nice job. "Pixie" is a really tough one, but keep at it, it's definitely coming.

Geweldig! Zoals ik al zei in je andere filmpje, kan je ook eens een folk nummer erop zetten? Gr. Pieter

Ach ja, ik neem het een maantje later weer opnieuw op denk ik maar met mijn fouten in deze opname kan ik best wel leven, bedankt voor het commentaar.

Klinkt goed (ook al schrijf je dat je er nog niet bent). Je hebt er duidelijk plezier in.
