I like what you do on the dominant five with notes A Bflat and D in the RH. Five chord can be so tricky. Thanks Henri , cheers, good info, Cheers from Vancouver BC!

You are the best teacher for Boogie Woogie on KZbin, Thank you for your knowledge With us,so generous of you

[@nikolausseippel9335]

The best piano lesson I have ever seen on KZbin

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

Sir, you have been really generous with your hard-won knowledge and art. You have been a great antidote for the lockdown blues. I'm actually beginning to be able to play some of what you teach in your lessons... As a mid-beginner level, I gravitated early to boogie woogie. The music is upbeat and I find it the best finger independence training because it goes beyond simplistic, repetitive scales. Thank you for your great vids. I'll do my best to see you around the NYC area when you get back up here.

[@msgingerjourney]

How is it going? Just getting back to the piano, trying to fast track my way to playing boogie woogie at casual jams, while diligently working my online course. Hope you have stuck with it!

[@jeanettanorton5646]

Have been watching your videos for awhile now, and really, really love you. I can't play anything but, I can appreciate the heck of anyone else who can. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. ‼️‼️

[@michaelgreen8022]

Absolutely brilliant, mate...wow!...hands down the best explanation on KZbin. Been following you for years and absolutely loving your playing...all the best, Henri 🎹 🙏 ❤️

[@kimmaria4083]

Owesome! You are the best teacher of the beginner. Thank you so much.

[@JohnOeneBijstra]

In one word; Goosebumps. Started playing last Saturday, that left hand isn't the issue, but keeping my brain from melting down using the right hand is where I need to practice a lot, but having a lot of fun doing so. Will keep going until I have mastered what you have shared with us here. Thanks again, and you've got yourself another sub!

[@richardcabrejo532]

Henry, I'm just getting to the point where I can finally do some of that.That was Fantastic! My God I'll be practicing for months. Thank You very much Sir. Now one of favorites!

[@Paul-lm5gv]

I've seen videos of this dude rockin' a train station - with boogie - and it was fabulous! Henri - with your voice and your cool, understated manner of speaking you should have been in the movies! You would have made a great 007! Oh yeah, thanks for the lesson!

[@theknowledgewithin6514]

such brilliant timing. one of a kind henry

[@christophergerakoulias5623]

Man oh man Im coming right over for lessons right now! Simply amazing!

[@Robert-ts2ef]

Thank you ever so much for your free knowledge of boogie/rock & roll piano tuition, it was very kind of you to teach us wannabe rock and rollers. You’re a nice guy. 👍

[@boldstrike]

Thank you Henri.... This is public service. You're a brilliant musician. 🙏

[@GarinNel]

A fantastic lesson, many thanks from Lincolnshire England.

[@peterlorenz9766]

thanks ❤ gracias ❤ danke ❤ merci ❤ What a TUTORIAL. Stunning. I learn so much listening, writing down and playing the awesome stuff you teach. Now I need to put it into the REAL thing. Practising slowly, very slowly is the KEY. BEST WISHES Mr. HENRI HERBERT & GRATEFUL RESPECTFUL THANKS

[@kallen15883]

Only 246,000 subscribers! You should be have 3 more 000's at the end of that number. I love your direct teaching approach, especially for us self-taught, non-classical types folks who just want to skip much of the theory and focus on the rhythm, chords and riffs you do on that piano. Unfortunately, I just subscribed now, which is a good thing but also not such a good thing cause I missed your first 10 years on YT. On another note, my Dad was a Seabee (Construction Battalion 16) and served in the pacific in WWII. In the diary he kept throughout the war, he mentions how he would sneak away from the battalion, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes when the Japanese were about to bomb the islands he was on and most of his rec time, he would spend practicing the piano and entertaining whomever was around at the time. He was self-taught also and played just about all of his songs in C major. The rhythms and melodies you play here are very similar to what he played back in the 40's when he was 18 and then throughout the rest of his life. He spent his final years in an assisted living facility, living with the terrible disease of dementia but still played often in the common area, entertaining the folks during lunch and dinner times, and consisted mostly women! It was wild how they would gather around the piano sing songs they all knew from that era. On on a final note, he taught me a few boogie-woogie chords and right hand melodies that I learned but never mastered. Now with you in the picture, I'll be getting back on that horse and see if I can ace at least one of your R&R pieces. Great stuff Mr. Herbert!

[@poulymadra9937]

Really brilliant, Henri. A real concentrate of precious advice. thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Kindest regards too to your esteemed Mother. Roland (from Belgium).

[@pikatzer]

This is a great help, and I don't play keyboards. You have wicked solid timing/rhythm.

[@jbsbluesbreakers3347]

[@timallen6025]

This is great tuition and get-on-practising stuff thank you . Best teachers inspire and you certainly do , thank you

[@HenriHerbert88]

You're very welcome!

[@GoodDemon_seinUrgrossvater]

Amazing! I love your videos so much, especially Every Day I Have the Blues ! You're the reason why i want to Play again

[@kakmaster6945]

Henri, I saw one of your comments on a band of brothers video, I see your a fan of the show too! Love the boogie, keep up the videos!!

[@hrobert745]

Very clear, helpful, and fun!

[@charliemcleod764]

Excellent and thank you. Best wishes from Scotland

[@jbsbluesbreakers3347]

[@tecoberg]

I simply love this rhythm

[@steve660917]

Brilliant Henri thank you!! 👍👌

[@pacificfrog4289]

I still don’t understand why more people don’t pay attention to Henri

[@al_wombat]

SEO is an art of it’s own…

[@kimmokarjalainen1329]

I love

[@James333-n2q]

If you noticed, when he changed over to just the left hand chop he didn’t, in slow motion, show which keys he was hitting. And yet for the right hand he takes great care even on just two notes. This seems to be a great failing of many teachers.. they skip over the hard parts and repeat ad nauseam the easy parts. The Boogie Woogie, blues and classical piano channel does an incredible job. Perhaps he should review his way of teaching, because he is too good to be left behind.

[@martinpleass913]

At last, a great heavy handed attitude to JLL playing. Two fingers on the G definitely. Try a fist on a C, D and Eb. I call it the JLL punch, you have to turn the wrist a little. Rock and Roll piano is about attitude and flamboyance and your hands capture that. Thanks for these clips.

[@Io1564]

Amazing stuff, Henri! And yes, black notes matter!

[@milanb007]

God. Love you dude love your work.

[@riddar1]

Thanks, even 2 years later :) i'll work at it when I buy my piano

[@MartinUmbehr]

[@orbi2542]

Thank you Master!

[@sarahgoldey2792]

thanks henri

[@anthonydias9876]

Extraordinary Talent !!!!!!!!!!

[@teresarn1965]

Thank you!!!

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

Thanks HH. Another great lesson with fantastic content, great explanation and pacing. You make it look easy to teach and break down piano parts but as someone who has seen many people on youtube teaching, I can testify that for some reason many pianists have no idea how to explain or break down what they are doing. I guess because it is actually difficult to transfer knowledge from your own brain to other peoples. (One English boogie woogie guy on YT who shall remain nameless posts 'lessons' which are basically just him playing one riff really fast and then just jamming to himself at top speed using every other riff he knows for the rest of the video. EVERY SINGLE LESSON!! Its basically just him trying to show how well he plays for as much time as he can in every video. C*nt!)

[@barbiebeckford2988]

This is brilliant.

[@AnthonyEugene-fr5xk]

ahoy, Mate...I'm really interested in your methods ! I've a massed many thousands of good practicing hours from around this ol world. 50 or so different countries, and I rarely went without finding a piano inside some hotel. For whatever reason, you've done real well in placing your words plainly, without distracting my attention ! So often I've found tutorials drowned out by loud squeaky words! Thank you, very much !!

[@al_wombat]

Great! Thank you!

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

Great tutorial

[@bongnunag718]

Your the best Bro.

[@ozo310sk8]

[@francostellini1082]

........... GRANDE HERBERT !!!! LIKE !!!!

[@jre8339]

Absolutely awesome!!! I’m blown away at how you explain it so well so we can understand. I take my hat off to you brother. Do you have courses we can enrol on to learn these rifts n stuff?

Merci

best I have seen

[@Ryan1980whufc]

Dude, you are awesome 👌

[@jackwilloughby239]

That first bit sounded like a version of "Don't be Cruel" I heard watching some movie. You've got a great timbre to your voice & I'd sure like to hear you sing, even if it's a little off-key or gruff sounding. All this pitch corrected stuff sounds so plastic. Cheers, Jack

[@venturasamarraluna6559]

Començar el diumenge havent trobat aquesta meravella!! Brutal!!

[@Loockzzz]

cool

[@drdan417]

Love your videos ! Where can I find that run that starts around minute 25 in this video …. A slower version… so I can practice it 😮 Thank you for your lessons!

[@cliffordpierce2460]

Where can I find that run you used in lesson 12

[@rbernardin622]

Thanks!

[@HenriHerbert88]

Many thanks for your support.

[@edmansandormagalhaes435]

Master

[@Paul-Aner81541]

One of the most important differences between early boogie and RnR is the change in feel. That Boogie Stuff is quite swingy and really ternary. The RnR Stuff is often more binary feeling, but NOT 100%. It has a little little swing feel. And to play authentic RnR you need to master that feeling i think :) I notice the lack of it a lot, when I hear regular pianists attempting RnR piano.

[@HenriHerbert88]

Yes. I think the 2s and 4s comes from the country and western feeling..descended from Irish music, polkas etc. The threes come from the blues and the church (in my opinion)

[@tunggulsiagian9793]

❤❤❤ great

[@davaxschinko]

Respect

[@sarahgoldey2792]

if i had a dime,i would send it

[@harrihard]

Am I the only one hearing both Austin Butler and Daniel Craig in this guys voice.

[@uzbekistan8722]

👍👍👍👍👍💯

[@MrFlob85]

I’m not a novice player by any means, but I’ve decided I do want to branch out into some rock. I’m learning some basics. The chords/rhythm are easy enough, but I’ve always avoided this style of music because of the tension moving to my wrists almost immediately. How do you address this and keep a fairly accurate driving beat?

[@HenriHerbert88]

Start slow. Play as slow as you can and increase speed very slowly over years. As soon as u feel tense, stop and slowdown. Even practice ridiculously slow. Get a metronome

[@GoodDemon_seinUrgrossvater]

Finally 🙉

[@ingridclarke9054]

Handsome!

[@chrischesher912]

For an example of Henri playing this in action go to kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3W8mHR_dsqjerc from 9 years ago

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

5:30 'So practice that a lot, at home'. Gives a look which says 'or Ill come to your home and kill you stone dead...' Now THATS what I call a born motivator. I havent been able to sleep since. I just practice it. A Lot.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Mistake, at the end? How could it be? You didn't miss, you just slurred those last two or five..

[@HenriHerbert88]

I'm human.
