This is a very good version although the bass line is not the same as Jools Holland version - but who cares the whole point of boogie is to make it your own. BigMrC has a version on youtube that I prefer to this one but 15,000 people cant be wrong!

Thank you for your comment. The reason that I changed the bassline for this video was simply because I had cut my middle finger quite badly and so It was just easier to use this bassline lol.

Yes I take my hat off to BigMrC, his version is excellent but then again he is the one that transcribed it!

[ashepp3679]

What key are you playing that in? Its not the key of C which makes me think your keyboard is transposing.

[Graam41]

Erm i cant remember now as i recorded it last year haha, and yeah i recorded it without realising i had the transpose was set, so yeah its not in C :)

[BigMrC]

Graam - did you learn this by ear same as me? See my video response, interesting alternative left hand pattern, good job.

[Graam41]

Haha thanks, and no i actually used your transcription which is excellent by the way! I was just messing around with the left hand boogie styles and thought that that one was quite good, and i suppose I just got used to using that one haha!

Im trying to learn bumble boogie by ear at the moment, I think i messaged you a while back about bumble boogie?

Damn.. that was awsome..you may not be Jools..but you are one bad white boy....

[MontLI]

You are doing it great !!

Call me crazy, but if I EVER got hold of a time-machine, I would use it EXCLUSIVELY to go back and show Mozart some Boogie Woogie like this - Imagine where music would be today, if such a genious got his hands on Boogie Woogie ... Just sayin'

@waldenhouse Well it's one thing to be able to play these marvelous pieces and another to actually come up with them! If people became successful for just playing other people's stuff, then we'd never hear new music and it would never progress.

[RatterSlim]

Cripple Clarence Lofton changed his style due to finger trouble so you are in good company! BTW as Mr Ashgreenway says......incredible :)

[MrAshgreenway]

HOW did 6 people watch this video and think "This is shit...DISLIKE!"

Incredible.

[Jackieis60]

Hot! Whoof!

[coatsinthesun]

cant stop replaying....

[waldenhouse]

.....I just can't work it out - how come Jools is on the Telly, Makes Recordings, gets paid millions - and you can play like this and get nowt.......unless you're Jools??

[charlesavec]

Wow you sure can play. I loved your version. Thank you

[tercheff]

very well done !!

as a boogie player i know how hard it is to keep the rythm with that bass line.

i'm very impressed ,do not hesitate to get a real piano ;)
