Well, as I'm new to the site, I thought I would upload a video of my current level. It was done in one take, so there are plenty of mistakes. I figured that posting a polished video would somehow defeat the object.
This is after about a week of practice, having watched the WikiHow video a few times and the excellent video on achieving left hand independence, which I really recommend: Boogie Woogie Left Hand - from ZERO to INDEPENDENT in 15 exercises (time-lapse) - YouTube
I somehow wish I had posted a video of my level a week ago, because even though my performance is clearly full of flaws in this video, I can assure you that I had zero left hand independence with this particular bass line just seven days ago. Gotta keep practising! And if I make progress, I may well post more videos!
Brendon, thank you for posting this! After just one week - wow! I think you are definitely on the right track. I get the feeling you have a good practice regimen in place and you have an idea of what you want it to sound like in the end. I think you are headed in the right direction.
Please post again as you make progress! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the kind feedback. I'm still working on those bass patterns. I'll be sure to post a progress video in the near future.
Very well done Brendon!
Many thanks! I'm currently working on the New Orleans "Lick". I'll upload a video soon ...
Well, I'm back, as promised. This time with the New Orleans Lick. I'm currently working through the licks in the "How to Play Boogie Woogie" book, but this has been a little side project. It has taken me around six weeks to get the New Orleans Lick to this stage. It's still a little rough around the edges here and there, the timing could be better, but I'm generally pleased with the progress thus far.
