Down The Road A Piece - Piano Tutorial Part 1 (Advanced Level)

[@pgerardsmith]

Hello Eeco. Thank you for publishing this video. I've been playing piano for 50 yrs. and still play in a Rock n Roll band. Years ago I played this song and thought it was written by the Rolling Stones. About two years ago, thanks to youtube I discovered Amos Milburn when I was asked to resurrect Down the Road' so I searched for the song and words. I've never been happy with what I'm playing and watched Boppin Steve and Johan Blohm but never got the fingering right. Until now. I have some practicing to do that's for sure. Thanks again.

[@chrisstephen2943]

Hi Eeco, thanks for the great tutorial. Do you have part 2 available?

[@Actraiser1]

Hey, Eeco. Thanks a lot for this! But I'm wondering, is part 2 still coming? :D

[@Timmy111888]

Will there be a 2nd part? BITTE

[@MrJJoshson]

What weekend? :D

[@bouwebear597]

Spent days learning this two years ago and left high and dry. Now I can play HALF of this piece really well and then I have to stop. Can´t read music and can´t work it out by myself. Two years is a hell of a long ¨weekend¨. You must´ve had a blinder!! I´m still tuned and waiting :)

[@thefuzzydice9323]

Hi man!!!great tutorial! but I've a problem with the second solo that goes until the end (after the second singed verse)...there's a trill and after someone else that I couldn't understand but is awesome. Please can I have any suggestion...or a short tutorial? thanx...I really appreciate your boogiewoogie style

[@rdam50]

Great tutorial of one of my favourite pieces! Thanks!! When you published this song in september 2012 you played it in C ?!

[@eecorr]

rdam50 That's correct..but I sing it now better in G and the original is in Ab but or the video is sounding like he's playing in G. Due to old songs most of them sound transposed, but I thought it would be better for you all to make it in G :)

[@woogieman007]

Thank you Eeco for taking on board the playing slow and at normal pace thing I suggested, I have not heard of this artist playing this song so will have to check it out. Cheers again "woogie on"

[@eecorr]

Thanks buddy, have fun :) boogie on!

[@MrMoncale]

thanks for your help alone it was impossible for me to play this boogie i am 70old you are a good teacher and for me the best boogie's pianist player

[@eecorr]

Dear Moncale..your words mean a lot to me! I am glad I can help out! Eeco.

[@Teach2TeachMusic]

Amazing tutorial video

[@D4NJ4CKS]

Amazing! What sheet music are you using here? I'd like to buy it!

[@eecorr]

No sheet music I learned it by ear 👂😁

[@rik-keymusic160]

Eeco where did you started out with boogie and blues? Im following classical music but i want to learn this style.. The only options are Jazz or classical so how did you become a master in this style or any other style? Did you studied jazz or did you a lot of transcriptions from the great players?

[@eecorr]

To answer this question after 7 years 🫣 i learned the basics from my piano teacher but most of it by listening and learning by ear. Also playing with other musicians helps develop your own technique and ear.

[@stephenbru]

Awesome!!!

[@eecorr]

+stephenbru Thank you Stephen!

[@leonmax3]

Thank you a lot. No sheet for this video?

[@eecorr]

Дмитрий Титарёв Your welcome and no sorry as I know, there is no sheet music unless someone knows there is one. Good luck & ofcourse have fun! :)

[@obladi2011]

Hi Eeco.. I must have missed Part2..Does it have another name? Cheers

[@ULSWC]

I would pay €50 for the part 2. I'm not kidding. Of course not just for me privately, the video should be for everyone here, but I'll still pay you €50 for it. Let me know if you're up for it!

[@lamper2]

written by don raye who also wrote boogie woogie bugle boy of company c which is rythmically similiar

[@domenicoromano8751]

sei un grande

[@SeanHuddleston]

very cool!!!

[@obladi2011]

Thansk a nice follow up on Blues in G. But on the timeline around 15.00 I had the impression that you sometimes play this little part differently. Not G-BflatCflat-BD-BflatCflat-G, but G-Bflat-AC-G-G??

[@karlenarutunyan8318]

Cool)))))))

[@WeemusStudio2017]

Yes! Yes!

[@paolodevia1624]

thanks, excellent, expect something for which we do not play piano as well as you do.

[@eecorr]

Paolo Devia Thank you Paolo !

[@TheCureForHumanity]
