This is my final tutorial of how to play Johan Blohms “Awesome” Boogie Woogie. Last week I also uploaded an update but that version was missing a part. So here is the whole thing. All riffs are as I playing them at my jumble sale video. It is quite impossible for me to play the whole thing in slowmotion with both hands. But I did play the intro with both hands. The left-hand is like the left hand at 1:04 in youtube vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-UVbP4iOU&feature=Pl ayList&p=94466B2E37C8FD91&play next=1&playnext_from=PL&index= 7 In this pattern Johan Blohm hits the black notes harder so the left hand has a nice rhythm bass. Also during his boogie, he sometimes plays a left hand like this: CC? (Eb+A) C (E+G) C (Eb+A) (E+G) instead of: CC (Eb+A) C (E+G) C (F+A) (E+G) Unlike most boogie songs, he improvises the left hand too. All there’s left to do for me is to buy a good piano which has some serious bass in it. My Roland rp101 is just a good piano for beginners. I’m looking forward to buy the Roland lx-10, because this song sound excellent on that piano. But that piano is like 4 times the price of my rp101 
I don’t have any sheet music, I learned it all by ear. If you have any questions or so, please don’t hesitate sending me a message! I hope you’ll enjoy playing it as I do everytime! Boogie ‘on!!! Marc van Beest

@Metigooh I didn’t buy the scores, because there are no scores. I learned and practised the piece by ear.

I don’t think I have any tips. I think it’s just a lot of practise and you need to listen to the original song A LOT!

OK! I’m curious about the sound the piano will produce. On all electric piano’s I’ve been playing on in music-stores I like the Roland LX-10 the most.

I don’t use any sustain pedal during the song. I have no idea if I play the notes harder with my right hand. It depends on the piano. On a real piano I don’t have to hit the high notes very hard, but on my electric piano somehow a bit harder.

Hi Marc!
Im working on sending u a tutorial just not yet. Do you use any sustain pedal except in the beginning? Im using a little bit all through the song otherwise it doesnt sound good at all. You can here a short gap sometimes if i don’t use it. Still struggling with perfectionizing right hand while playing with left. Also, do u play the notes harder with the right hand? I seem to play just the same with both, so right hand notes fade away because of strong deep left base
Thx in advance

Hi donpedro1989/PeterH89,
I’m glad to hear that you are making progress! A tip is to watch Johan’s version A LOT ! And try playing with him on your piano while he is playing on youtube!
I’m looking forward to give you some feedback!

Hey Marc, im done with the right hand part, can play it at full speed and just started with the left. I havent been playing piano for very long so i have trouble playing left and right hand together at different speed. Any tips on how to get a grip of it? Ill send you a video later and it would be nice if you could give me some feedback! /Peter
