[@peterlorenz9766]

Hallo Herr Christian Fuchs! Haben Sie herzlichen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Tutorial. This song is also one of my oldtime favourite. I am just a beginner in playing the piano, nevertheless I TRY TO PLAY IT cause it´s so inspirational and motivating how you play it. AWESOME. Cheers. Keep on BLUESING. Wünsche Ihnen das Beste vom Besten. GREETINGS FROM SPAIN...be happy...

Hey Christian' Just learnin' to play the blues' I'm self taught and just starting to work with a few good teachers like you' The more I hear the blues the more I just love the way you teach it'

[@pb1oh1]

Hi Christian I could never thank you enough for this. I have bought the music and am gradually working my through it. I can’t tell you the satisfaction I am getting from learning this. I wondered if you could suggest a next piece to learn with a similar slow blues yancey feel and at a similar level of difficulty. Thanks very much.

[@allegrastevens3375]

I could have this as my background music All Day! I love this. I just bought the sheet music. Thanks, Christian!😊

[@moniquevervloet1]

Expresivo, inspirador, relajante, didáctico... una joya de video. Gracias por compartirlo... un abrazo.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

De nada. The pleasure is all mine, Hanover!

[@chrisnewman9693]

thank you Christian. I've always loved this song

[@mbjsrl]

Top of the world blues, for me.....How long Blues by J. Yancey and West End Blues by Louis Amstrong...both may appear simple compositions but though any fool may create complicated patterns but it takes genius to write simple melodies...

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Truer it can't get!

[@mardieeluppold]

Heavenly! thank you.

[@susanitkinkurshenoff7339]

I love playing this beautiful piece. It just “oozes” the blues. Thank you, Christian, for helping me learn it!

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thanks Susan! Actually your name is also very musical when spoken aloud! Can we swap names, please? Please? :-)

[@papyber]

THANK YOU CHRISTIAN, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS. AND I ALMOST FORGOT: THANKS SO MUCH ! BERNARD

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Hahaha!!! That is some thank you!! But what was it again, you were saying?

[@loredanasagnotti2645]

papyber google

[@rickboudreau9222]

Just noticed the sheet music running view, Love it'

[@dereksnutch281]

Lovely piece have been wanting the score for ages , thanks Christian you are such an inspiration

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Your are welcome! If you forgive me possibly calling you Maureen in mails.. ;-)

[@hhgoten]

Brillant. Bin ja ein yancey spezi, aber das ist eine der besten Interpretationen auf youtube. Bin stolz auf Dich . One of the best renditions on youtube - and there are a lot of them on this tune

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

danke, Waldi! ;-)

[@rolfr6662]

Play it nice, and pretty and sweet. I remember a version from Doc and Merle Watson. Very cool Christian 🙂

[@cognominal]

So beautifully soothing. Thx.

[@paulspeidell7386]

Beautiful! Thanks, Christian.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Welcome as usual, Paul!

[@andrewcampbell-bluespianop6741]

Nice tutorial! Always loved this version of this song by Jimmy Yancey.

[@pertiet]

Super Christian!!!!

[@theouleejit9485]

Sorry -- my fault!! Have it figured out now lol. I find it more helpful watching the 'part2' video with the sheet music in front of me ;-) Just an old pensioner here trying to keep up --- love Christians videos.

[@charles20thcentury]

Can you tell me what you've figured out? Because I have the same issue. Do you play the Bb7 with the left hand in a lower position from what's written on the sheet music from your website.

[@slepycitron]

Zwanzigmal später, immer prima. Danke

[@BertoMul]

Very nice. Beautiful thank you very much.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thank you for your thank you, BM!

[@bellad.3435]

Another one of my favorites. Thx.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Bella, you are on board again! Good to hear from you again! It was you who said. LOWER REGISTERS, YES! right? I remember that benevolently! :-)

[@bellad.3435]

Yes, that was me!

[@eddiebitmail]

For sure you got an request list as long as from Berlin to Munich, but may I add Yancey Special by Jimmy Yancey?

[@slepycitron]

Like a beautiful meandering lazy river.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Meandering, that would be my word, too. And I believe its in the piece itself. If its not played too fast. Which many do..

[@slepycitron]

Christian Fuchs grüß Gott. Ich werde "How Long Blues" kaufen. Ganz einfach, sowie kann ich folgen.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Einkaufen ohne Reue! ;-)

[@fredericbarroit-hypnose]

Harder than expected. I felt confident after playing Saint James Infirmary, but I’ve come to realize my left hand doesn’t like me 😁

[@khammieo]

...Big Fan of your work ✅🎹

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thank you khammieo! My work is your work! (What an elegant claim!)

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

;-) Thank you!

[@CatioChic3catsJazz]

How bout another video where you just let loose and jam /improv on How Long Blues..... would be fun to hear YOU play!

[@theouleejit9485]

I love this and have been checking out some Jimmy Yancey stuff elsewhere so I bought the sheet music following the link but at's not the same. -- Long story short-- What I have has B flat and not C as on screen. It is titled 'How long Blues' --- have I made a mistake?

[@arghapirate2427]
