Lesson 8: How To Play Country Style Piano

[@LauraSanchez-di9hz]

I can't play but I used to love watching and listening to my grandma and now I watch and listen to you and it makes my day. God bless you

[@jaelbutler1338]

Long term goals right here. Absolutely amazing.

[@ramonjosegarcia8812]

OMG! He simply played it with ease.

That I think is called the the country 3rd position or the country roll with the right hand. Bruce Hornsby is big on that style as well. Excellent playing. Enjoy your videos.

[@rudolphperme9164]

I love your rendition of country style by Kramer! Awesome!

[@timherdon]

Enjoyed this vid, best thing was seeing a mysterious red-slippered foot appear below the keyboard at 1.00 ... lovely elegant foot you have there Brendan.

[@DrKBoogieWoogie]

Brendan can play anything, Loving the Nashville country piano of Floyd Cramer that riff was his signature soundAll over nashville country records of the 1960s you'll find Floyd as a session player. Try Last Date or on the rebound two perfect examples of Floyd's solo work find a copy of Floyd Cramers greatest hits. Check out the credits on 60s nashville produced country records if you hear that style it's odds on that it's Floyd Cranmer.

impressive stuff

[@DrKBoogieWoogie]

Thanks geezer

[@Tonjhana]

Love the progression at 1.12-1.20. Pity it's not in the transcription in Vol.1. Another 100 times watching it maybe I'll work it out!

[@flhrc98]

I don’t need just the music sheets but demo would be more beneficial. What would I purchase?

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Very good.. what's the base line on the left hand.? Lots of energy here.

[@jonascohen4568]

Wow thanks so much. Where can I pick up volume 1? I'm an actor who often gets cast in piano playing roles and I need to bone up on various styles. I have an audition coming up for Pump Boys and Dinettes and have to prepare a 16 bar country rock/bluegrass solo. They've sent me a leadsheet and I'm completely at a loss!

[@DrKBoogieWoogie]

Hi Jonas. Volume one is on Amazon - Kindle only, I'm afraid. Are you based in the UK or the US? Best of luck for your audition. If in London, you could always try a lesson avec moi. BK

[@marciococ3186]

Can not speak English but excellent video ...

[@DrKBoogieWoogie]

Marcio David Coc Isem Thanks Marcio! Dr K

[@jonascohen4568]

Hey Dr. K I understand look and learn but I can't really see what you're playing when you solo for the last part of this video. Is it possible to get a video of your fingers on this and slowed down? I think transcription would help me as a basis and then once I had that down I'd feel emboldened to riff. What do you think?

[@DrKBoogieWoogie]

I will put transcriptions in volume 2 of "Badass Boogie Woogie Secrets of the Pros" to be published soon. BK

[@penofvenomstudios1799]

The instructor...knows his stuff, but all I hear when you talk about country style piano is blues, gospel...White ppl have claimed country, then why does it sound so Black?
