  • I keep returning to this post, wow what a feeling. Cheers man J

  • Thank you Joacos!

  • Hey Matt, I've listed to all of you clips on You Tube. You have great technique and a great feel for Boogie Woogie (nice swing groove, etc.). Two question: 1. Have you played Pete Johnson's Dive Bomber and what do you think of it? 2. What is you personal favorite Boogie to play? Thanks and keep playing...you are an inspriation for a music that will live forvever.

  • Thank you Pianoworks - there are alot of things that I start to play but then don't quite finish and Pete Johnson's Dive Bomber is one of them - it's great though! - Pinetops is my favorite to play - I have a new version of it actually that I should have up here in the next couple weeks - thanks for watching!

  • Matt I am confused. I have listed to every version of this song I can find. I would love to hear you play the one by Clarence Smith.There is Pinetop Perkins, Pinetop Smith , luckyluca99 on you-tube plays the one I like best, it has the 8 bar base twice in the song. With your vivid intrest in boogie, please tell me what is what. THANKS IN ADVANCE

  • The orignal piece was by Clarence "pinetop" Smith - but then Albert Ammons took it and made it into "boogie woogie stomp" - mine is a mixture of these two, although more albert ammons than the other, plus I have put my own spin on things - I know Pinetop perkins version but I don't like it as much - luckyluca is a fantastic young player who I enjoy watching too.

  • This certainly is a very nice version of Pinetop's Boogie. Given your excellence - feel free to stray away from the "standard" rythm in the song - you can make it very personal indeed. Playing great man! J

  • Makes me want to pour out a small shot of southern comfort, light a cigar and listen away to this wonderful music

  • Your sort of the guy I'd like to have next door :-) Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.You are amazing!

  • Absolutely love this. brilliant. X

  • I can feel Pinetop Smith's toes jus a-tappin....

  • play that booogie let it roll bump it buddie god amighty let it rock oooooooooooooooo yes whoa hoo my feet can not stop moving

  • This is sooooooooooooooooo good!

  • I used to play some boogie woogie and the one thing which is painful is keeping that bassline going with your left hand. Obviously you get used to it, but trying to play again it's really hard to keep a steady beat!

  • Dude...you're amazing!

  • Mr. Perkins would be proud. May he RIP!
