Extremely helpful breakdown. Other videos on this rush through and it's really hard to tell what is being played. Appreciate this tutorial!!

[@fulltiltboogiewoogie]

Fantastic Tutorial Henri.. I'm currently learning 'Stomp' so really appreciate this tutorial.. its also the first detailed look at the walking bass that Ive seen.. Great stuff.. Thanks!!😊😊

[@martinpleass913]

This is great because it exposes the harmonic complexity of Albert Ammons. Its not as easy as it looks.

[@TheCrazyStudent]

Thanks Henri. Very good lesson 😊

[@judithwilliams3835]

So enjoyable - many thanks. I would love to be at a railway station and hear you play the piano. I would dance even though I’m on a Zimmer frame. Henri, you rock !

[@judithwilliams3835]

Thank you, Henri !

Those LH chords were worrying enough before you said "and in F they are..."!!! You are so dedicated to your art, I guess that's why you are a (if not the) top player. My LH never sounds as good (even on simpler basslines) as the feel you achieve, it's formidable!

Thanks for this Henri ✌️

Brilliant videos Henri. My favourite is the What I’d Say video. Have you ever recorded a version of Nut Rocker by B. Bumble and the Stingers? There is a greet Terry Miles version on KZbin filmed in a station. Would love to hear a version by you.

Hey Henri, Would that left hand be used specifically for the stomp or with other tunes too? Thanks for the great tutorial. Matthew P.s. Tickets booked for London can’t wait!

[@capricorn975]

Henri Your YT’s video’s are so excellent! You are unpretentious and happy to share what you know; which is not necessarily a characteristic of all good players. This left hand is much harder to play WELL at tempo than one thinks but is invaluable… You have a great style. Very English if you don’t mind me saying. Are you’re enjoying living in the US? I’m a guitarist who can play most stuff I want to (classically trained Jazz/blues fingerpicker) but a very frustrated pianist!! Keep up the good work Iain Guildford Surrey PS any plans to play in your motherland again? 😃

This is actually honky tonk piano. The classic boogie sound is the double octave, double beat, walking bass riff. Love what you're doing though.

[@HenriHerbert88]

No, it's boogie woogie piano. That's why Ammons called this tune "Boogie Woogie Stomp" when he recorded it. Ammons' composition was based on "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" by Pine Top Smith. This is generally agreed on not only by music listeners, contemporary accounts and musicians but also Boogie Woogie scholars like Dr John Tennison. You have confused what is a "standing boogie woogie bass line" as played by the boogie woogie kings Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, with Honky Tonk, which is a very vague term encompassing ragtime, Vaudeville, show tunes and other pre war styles of music. The double octave you describe is a part of boogie woogie rather than being the sum total of it. Check the latest Albert Ammons box set - "The King Of Boogie Woogie" definitely not "The King Of Honky Tonk".
