Hi Dave, Sorry for gate crashing your thread but I can't see an option to create a new thread in this forum.
Hi Arthur. I stumbled on your YouTube video "How to Play Boogie Woogie Piano" and was inspired to buy a second hand keyboard to have a go. I should say I turn 72 on Wednesday.
As a child a learned to play a little bit of right hand piano from my uncle but never could grasp the left hand and eventually went on and took up piano accordion lessons but didn't stick with it for very long. I struggled to read music, and would play many of the tunes by ear, much to the annoyance of my music teacher.
I joined the army in 1968 and was posted overseas so I sold my accordion for a case of beer, not touched a keyboard since.
So I have only been playing that left hand riff for two days and already I am beginning to see some measure of progress. I followed the links and purchased your book from Amazon. And was also delighted to find you had this Free Website. I look forward to working my way through the basics and on through the boot camp.
Thank you Sir for creating this wonderful website. What a great way for this old dog to see out my senior years, re-living my childhood passion.
