How to Play Boogie-Woogie | The 4 Main Left-Hand Techniques 1/3

Many people dive into Boogie-Woogie with two hands but I propose getting a few/or your favourite left hand patterns down first, in a few keys, eyes closed, to make sure your left hand has the correct and comfortable fingering for the shape in the keys (1 4 5 progression). Part 2 will bring in the right hand. Part 3 gives 5 of the most common right hand techniques. Remember that BW doesn't need to be played super fast so aim for steadiness in execution combined with precision.

Thank you Dan for the demonstration of shuffle and LH patterns for learning playing BW (Booogie-Woogie). I love it. It sounds much fun. I practice the “hard one” by means of intervals as “octave - M3(Major 3) - P4 (perfect 4th) - b5 - P5 (perfect 5th)- octave” etc. ,so I can play any key. I fully enjoy learning. Much appreciated, Dan, as always. Looking forward the Part 2. 👍
