@stilzelrump 1: No, I haven't heard the original record; 2: I did not say you are playing this faster than Mr Zwingenberger; 3: Boogie music played at this speed loses the feeling and rhythmic "drive" of the (slightly) slower tunes; 4: For an example of what I'm talking about, listen to Albert Ammons original recordings, especially Boogie Woogie Stomp; 5: But as I said, you're technically brilliant! :-)

@Amadeo909 "... I only played boogie, nothing else." There IS nothing else! :-)

This will sound utterly cleche, but the 1st album I ever bought w/ my own money was 'Meade Lux Lewis'. I'm relatively young now(32) and bought the record at 11yo. I liked the names of the songs and loved the picture on the cover- I hadn't ever heard him but for $2.50- it was a steal! I can't read music because I prefer playing it , like it's in style! Axel is good but, he's like a metronome. He has no blues to the boogie, no raw emotion to sew back together after an 'unraveling'-Opinion.

Have you ever heard the original record ? I play at about the same speed as Axel Zwingenberger himself - nothing more, nothing less...

I don't play Axels sheet music. Find it easier by ear and that way I am also not restricted to the few songs he put on sheets. I think many of his best recordings are from his early days where he played uninhibited with the full fire of his youth. Maybe at a later time I will post some more early Zwingenbergers like 'Steady Roll Boogie' or 'Thursday Evening Blues' - just wait....
