This 15 minutes video is a goldmine. Thank you Wil

Hands down the best presentation I’ve ever seen of this after the Dr John Homespun tapes. Awesome effortless playing. I am bowled over and am heading back to the woodshed

[@LeonFeldmanMusic]

This is full on beast mode piano playing

I'm looking for music in the style of New Orleans Rhythm & Blues. KZbin gives me this.

[@davidcarruthers9223]

Wil you are a monster piano player! Love how you effortlessly hit those 10ths in the left hand (Dr. John) and your Booker tunes (eps. Sunnyside) are brilliant. Thank you for generously sharing your talent and knowledge. And yes, Jon Cleary is amazing, and RIP Henry Butler. He was a force.

[@JackTheSkunk]

I don't play piano but I love this style as well as Ragtime and Stride.

[@EliaGaitau]

Wil Sargisson! The man. Absolutely loved this. Thank you.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Great playing, thank you! Unstressed and effortless.

[@DaveDugganITPro]

You have provided me with a jolt of enthusiasm for following my piano passion. I just ordered two of the learning resources that you reference. I now have the Dr, John Teaches series of books and videos. I also ordered the Jame Booker book that you mention. thank you.

[@originalmattprorok]

Top notch content! What's your suggestion for those who can't span a tenth in all cases? Especially for those block chords walking down on Dorothy?

[@isabelchase6606]

Hey I'm a pianist who can't reach 10ths, there's a couple things you can do, you can roll the chords or you can just use a different interval. Sometimes 7ths work well, or octaves, depending on the chords.

[@baldheadtim02]

The best suggestion I've seen is to play the 3rd (10th) as the base note and the root above -- works sometimes, not as rich sounding but needs must. I would say don't get too hung up on 10ths.

[@erictharg]

Nice job, man.

[@Allen2saint]

Tasty!

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Joe Crown and Alain Toussant are a couple more excellent new Orleans style piano players.

[@leejackson4671]

If you don't mind me asking you if you playing all the bass lines in the right hand what is the bass player supposed to be doing?

[@godisbollocks]

A lot of the styles demonstrated here were solo piano concepts. When there was a band involved the bass player would usually double the lines of the pianist's left hand. Little else could be done, given how muddy opposing lines in the bass register can sound when played together. While in jazz it is considered impolite for the pianist to delve much into the bass player's domain, that isn't really the case with New Orleans rhythm and blues. Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr. John, Jon Cleary, and many others play(ed) with a very prominent left hand in band situations, similar to gospel pianists like Richard Tee in the band 'Stuff'.

[@firstanama4573]

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a tutorial or sheet music for what you played in the video right hand ?

[@godisbollocks]

Check out the Hal Leonard book 'New Orleans Piano Legends'
