Glen you're genius and I have been following you for long time.thanks.

[@Ricardo-Royco]

Hello of France ! Thank you very much for all sharings. Very good tutorials ! 👍🎵🎶🎶

[@atwaterpub]

"This guy is a genius" - Mr. Atwater Wow, thanks for uploading.

[@barbaragrossman4089]

You are a great teacher. You take time to instruct fingers to use …most important. I

[@jasonstrong4610]

Very clearly demonstrated, best I've seen! Thankyou. Recognised the first one from my teenage bumble boogie years!

[@donk.5730]

Thank you Glen, a great clear lesson. simple patterns- [to watch!], but will give me lots to practice. Cheers, Don...

[@GlenRoseJazz]

Just takes determination and a lot of coffee!

[@MichaelSmith-hs5iu]

These patterns are so well explained even I can follow them. I'm not proficient yet but I'm working at it Thank You Glen

[@johnstorton]

Straight eights give you rock & roll. Split eights give you boogie and blues. To me, they are both very easy and natural rhythms.

[@timd7782]

Thank you so much Mr. Rose. You're a natural teacher, so cool. You have helped this 54 year old intermediate-beginner so much. It is a dream of mine to develop that "rock steady" left hand blues pattern. Years of my over focusing on playing melody with my right hand and just "pounding triads" in the left has been a difficult habit to overcome but the wall is happily beginning to show signs of failure and hope remains of my redemption.....

[@barbaralebrun438]

You are awesome Mr Glen Rose🎼 I love your music style and the way you teach students My favorite jazz player forever💋🎵

[@annesmiley3509]

Slowly demonstrates exactly what he is doing! These video lessons are well worth every cent! Wish I had a teacher like this in my teenage years! Thank You!

[@dgerjevic]

Five stars for you Glen!

[@HARSHOBEROI100]

Thank you so much for your video uploads, have learned a lot from them, you explain it so nicely, easy to take notes, Once again thanks

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Thanks. I like how you start with the challenging ones, and then do the easy one. Lots Of Love. I'll try them. Hope you're doing the stretches to help your shoulder.

[@stephenj8576]

Thank you for educating me, I'm not a piano player but I always want to understand the styles of music I listen to.

[@marilynwren2019]

Hi, Glen. This is a very helpful video. I play blues piano more than boogie, but you have reminded me how much fun boogie woogie can be. Thanks for a great lesson.

[@jasper007s5]

I've been doing a lot of looking on youtube, and I've found Glen to be the easiest to follow, (this lesson anyway). Have not yet got to the other lessons, but I certainly will be trying them. Thanks Glen. 5 *****

[@fulltiltboogiewoogie]

Very Good!! There's a couple of Basslines in there that are new to me that I've not seen anywhere else!! Many Thanks..

[@josephguida5432]

These patterns are a great addition to my daily practice routine. Once you have the fingering in your muscle memory don’t forget to accent a couple of beats (2 and 4 for example) when playing with a swing rhythm.

[@glenrose7925]

Joseph Guida - cool Joseph. Right on. Practice putting the accents in different places and you’ll really master the patterns....Glen

[@GlenRoseJazz]

Perfect. YOu are right on it. Practicing with various accents means you are hitting the gold mine

[@GlenRoseJazz]

Totally agree!. Accenting is the next evolving place

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

6:20 True, when my brain disconnects from my fingers I have to back off to straight time. Thank you for the generous share.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

I do a lot of these licks. Over time you forget them. Glen you have a great channel. #9 was the one that taught me hand Independence. Say your flying along doing all kinds of riffs in swing straight rhythm s and just plain improvising . The base line on the left is straight rhythm 1 and two and three and four and.. it was was hard for me to go in and out of rhythms on the right hand without the left wanting to follow in a sympathetic manner. I worked on this from time to time and one day it hit me. I got a piece of boogie music of this base and went to a table and just tapped on the table.. no finger pattern just tapped left and right and I developed hand Independence.. classical music does not really teach this because you are following notes on a paper and not improvising.. by doing this you are laying down a solid l.h. base beat and syncopating etc on the right and my right wanted to follow the left.. The base line c e g a bb. In numbers 1356 b7 6 5 3.. can be mimicked in the right hand especially on the g a bb .. and it sounds great. . Trying to put into words doesn't do this method just.. love the boogie.

[@Sumptuous]

Love that Boogie Woogie sound. #5 I think is whats used in the Boogie Woogie Stomp. Love that.

[@LasseBoogieJensen]

Sumptuous In the original by Albert Ammons? No :)

[@OldBlueMusician]

Great skills.

[@francisdooner2405]

Glen do you have any books to recommend for boogie and jazz blues. Great videos very well explained.

Nicely done. Very informative. Thank you.

[@stoll3293]

Wonderful! thank you for the tips!

[@kabooby0]

Thank you for jumping right into it and not spending 5 minutes talking about C7 chords and other intro to piano stuff.

[@paulsp1ano]

So good! Thank you for posting this video.

[@camfg8908]

I like #7. If I practise music like this I usually use that one.

[@nasehatbaik5933]

Amazing tutorial dude!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

What helps me on piano or guitar to keep the shuffle feel is is to sing one and two and three and four and put the accent on the two and four. Used in rock blues a whole bunch..

[@macclift9956]

Nice!

[@GlenRoseJazz]

Thanks

[@hosseinparishani9983]

Sir Glen :) Thank you so so much for all your effort on putting together awesome educational videos like this one. Can't say enough how useful your videos are. Cheers.

[@buntylama5181]

Great

[@jasper007s5]

Thanks, Glen. I Did enjoy it. Thanks again

[@Normanskie]

Excellent ... to watch!

[@FreeMagneticEnergy2]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ There are some fifteen total bass riffs. The classic ones that sound super cool are not found in this video. Two or three of which I play I’ve never heard anywhere else. Soon as I get access to a piano again, I’ll make a video that covers all fifteen variations. Might want to check out my, Boogie Woogie folder.

[@francisdooner2405]

Glen is there any books you would recommend for reading boogie and jazz blues. Thank you great videos

[@GlenRoseJazz]

I'm no help for recommending a book. I have seen some in the past but don't recall the titles

Thankyou, subbed.

[@andys9337]

Handy stuff!!!!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Don't we wish the internet was around forty years ago. I had to sus this out the hard way. One thing that helped was knowing guitar boogies. That reminds me people often lay down one instrument but I've found may times one instrument helps reinforce another instrument's playing. Also on the last one right hand can play notes g a bb or g a c . and it will be easy as this is a sympathetic hand movement. Also it is a real cool style..

[@sempaqgaming]

watching in 2017 and still got a headache to memorize.... btw great lesson...

[@jmack619]

How are the headaches in 2022 ? ; ) Better , I hope !

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Update to earlier Independence . On #9.. I had got almost perfect hand Independence .. i didnt practice it and it's rusty. The technique that I have erlier does work.. or it work for me. .but I did not regress completely.. just need to get it back under my fingers again. Oh well back to the drawing board. Great video.. oh yes the octave one I know , but it is still a little shaky.. just got to do do it until it becomes second nature.

[@bubbaXzone]

I play the first pattern and I actually got it form the song "boogie woogie in the bar" from the PS2 game dragon quest 8 i got the sheet music and i worked on it and just let loose!

[@stanhesketh]

hi I've been trying to get on your Web site ,have you moved, or taken it down ,?

[@jasper007s5]

[@marcelgagnier4962]

Very good....It would have been better to have all the sequence going to F and G chord to see the fingering you are using from one chord to the other....if sommeone can show it to me , I will be very happy to know as well...

[@mick947]

I would of thought a walking boogie line is harder than a boogie shuffle?

[@GlenRoseJazz]

i personally think a shuffle is harder in the beginning , but thats just me. Maybe easier for some people

[@jasneskis]

Great. But yes, I do have right hand coordination problems.

[@davidaronson9475]

Great! Thanks for sharing all the info!

[@atwaterpub]

"It takes five to ten years to make a permanent memory. It takes five to ten years to grow a new neuron in your brain. It takes five to ten years to learn a solid left hand bass pattern. Be patient and keep trying" - Mr. Atwater

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

atwaterpub I am not up on all the science it sounds interesting. . When I was young I took classical music.. then pop.. mainly by ear.. lately I have delved into jazz.. on guitar and piano.. I recently realized that I did not know all the keys. Self introspection is important for musicians. Lately I've been working with keys like gb or f#.. quizzing myself on what's the third , flat five ect.. all the knowledge learned before helps me get it in my head.. I also am keeping a journal and writing in longhand which also speeds learning. You mentioned about long term memory .. from playing at age 14.. I remember what is scale of eb.. that is permantly etched in my mind. On the other hand db not yet. Can you comment more on the formation of nurons..

[@atwaterpub]

Science research indicates that every night while you sleep, your hippocampus electrically connects to most all the neurons in your brain in some organized and serialized manner. It is theorized that this is some kind of memory updating, sorting, and organizing process that your brain uses to optimize its resources. After about ten years for some neurons this electrical connection stops and then that neuron holds a permanent memory. this is about how long it takes to really learn a new skill -- ten years. Be patient.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

atwaterpub Knowing this. I would think we need to get good sleep at night or enough sleep on odd schedules.

[@atwaterpub]

Yes. I have a youtube video on this. It is important to get complete sleep cycles and not use an alarm clock (unless it is a real emergency). In my opinion, the two most important health practices are: 1. diet, 2. sleep, followed by 3. exercise, 4. friendship, 5. enjoyable work

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

atwaterpub I have a fairly good base ..

[@jasper007s5]

Stanley, I did not have a problem, 3 days after you. make sure it is . net

[@RollinRocker]

Great video but you dont have to repeat "it becomes more difficult if" every single time.I think that fact is pretty obvious.

[@GarethJonesAOTP]

That made me laugh "When you're doing something simple with it, it's simple. But when you add something difficult, it makes it more difficult!"

[@vytasabraitis825]

mane viskas patiko

[@irakliimnadze6746]

play slow with right hand ! i did not understand right hand patterns :(

[@FreeMagneticEnergy2]

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🔴 8 Is a cowpoke riff. 🔴 9 is not boogie Woogie. 🔴 You left out 7 other boogie riffs. Yes, seven, of which they are the really cool riffs that rock the piano out big time. 😟

[@glenrose7925]

Still Cookin' !

[@glenrose7925]

Right on Joseph. Practice playing the accents on various beats and you will really master the patterns.
