    WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO PLAY A 12 BAR BLUES?
    • What is a 12 bar blues...
    FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH HAND INDEPENDENCE:
    Hand independence relies on muscle memory. The length of time it takes a person to get something "automatic" can vary from 1 day to 6 months. It depends on how much time you spend repeating the motion. No different than learning how to drive a stick shift or tie your shoes or chew food or type on a computer keyboard. The more frequently you can repeat a motion, the sooner it will become automatic.
    In this case you are trying to get your left hand/wrist/arm to remember to move up and down in a specific rhythm while alternating your top note.
    If you put in a collective 20 min a day on just your left hand (meaning 5 min here 10 min there, etc... or 20 min all at once) for 2 weeks and you still don't see any improvement I will be surprised.
    You don't even need to be at a piano to practice the repetitions of your left hand. Tap out the rhythms on your desk, alternating your top finger as you do so (i.e. index to thumb as I show in the video). Imagine yourself playing the piano as you do this. You can even do it on your lap as you're sitting or stuck in traffic. Get creative. Teach your left hand the motion. You can do it. You learned how to walk. You can learn how to do this on piano.
    Some of the GREATS alluded to in Step 1 are:
    Clarence "Pinetop" Smith, Cripple Clarence Lofton, Jabo Williams, Montana Taylor, Jimmy Yancey, Hersal Thomas, Cow Cow Davenport, Little Brother Montgomery, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Pete Johnson, Big Maceo Merriweather, Otis Spann, Amos Milburn, Johnny Johnson, Bob Seeley, Professor Longhair and James Booker. There are tons more that you will find along the way too. Download their music and listen a little bit to them every day to start getting the true sounds of boogie-woogie in your ears!

    Okay so you guys. I decided to learn boogie woogie last week. I was very determined. I played boogie woogie for at least 2 hours a day. I had a rough week. My boyfriend broke up with me, and I caught the flu... but when I wasn't writhing on the floor in agony, I practiced boogie woogie. It took me seven days to get to the end of this video; I just played a bit each day until I knew what I needed to work on. Today is the 8th day, and I CAN play what he plays at the end. I was planning on recording my progress to share with you, but my fever is too high and it might kill me. Just take my word for it for now.

      @austinknowlton1783 Před 5 lety +53

      Meh Ster the. 12 bar blues form is based on the 1-4-5 chord pattern. Imagine your thumb is the C chord. Now count D,E,F on your fingers. You should be on the fourth finger which makes F the 4 chord. Now count one more and the 5 is G. 4 bars on the one, two on the four, back to the one for two bars, one each on the the 5 and the 4, then back to the one for two bars. I hope that helps you. That's the basic pattern, but you can switch it up a little once you master it.

Variations include playing the one for two bars, two bars on the four, then back to the one for two bars. Then play the turnaround like usual. Also you can walk down the 5,4,1, then back to the 4 on the last four bars. Play with it and have fun.Above all keep playing! You can only get better.

    Day 2: worked on intro and bass line in all 3 keys
    Day 3: kicking the speed up a little and working on hand independence (on the triplets now)
    Day 4: Learned the chords changes on right hand with a real boogie rhythm
    Day 5: learned right hand variation in C

    If I were an influencer or some-such, I'd make sure everyone who played or wanted to play watched this video. The best part is that it shows how to start & makes the R-hand variations so simple that they're easy to learn. This video was my launching pad to ~ dunno how to describe it properly ~ launching pad to learning how to improvise on a riff. There's such a freedom in that, in knowing that improvisation is not the mysterious province of only a gifted few. Been meaning to thank you, Arthur Migliazza, forever. PS: I love your combination of technique and looseness. Lots of classically-trained teachers/players are technically perfect but too tight, no soul, no emotion, too tighty-whitie for boogie, blues, jump blues, Southern gospel, old-school rock & roll; their swing notes sound too clean.

    Wow! I never thought that I could play it more or less well. at the beginning I thought "ok that's possible". Then I came to the part where the hands should play together. And that's where the fun started. It took so much time and many nerves that the hands can now play together. With all other pieces, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, it's not that difficult because it makes sense to me how to play your hands together. but here is a completely different rhythm. and learning that was really difficult. but I can only tell you one thing: stay tuned. Worth it!!

    Some years ago I bought an upright piano for our daughters. I was a nice oak model, probably about 80 years old. Now and again the girls would come in and tinker, but nothing more. It sat n our dining room with photographs and vases on it. We finally advertised it and a lady bought it for her daughter who was learning to play. When her daughter saw it, she burst into tears. I'm glad someone is enjoying it, but after partly watching this video, I wish that we had kept it! Great work Mr Migliazza!
