Hi Fremulshmat... If you're talking about Riffipedia RH#5, yes... the RH plays EGAC (so, the A being the 6th, as you say); and goes to G chord FABG (with the A being the 9th, as noted by you - and the F being also a Dominant 7th thrown in to maintain that 'configuration') // As for Andalucia - where I am luckily escaped anything as traumatic as Valencia. Get in touch if any further queries! Gracias, Shukran,Teshekur, Danke schoen... www.danielsmithbluesband.com

Yes! In C the chord is E-G-A-C = C 6th / In F it's Eb-G-A-C = F dom7th+9th / In G it's F-A-B-D = G dom7th+9th. Let me know if any further queries! Thanks, www.danielsmithbluesband.com

Thanks Suzanne! Daniel

Hi @GeorgeMeszaros - Thanks for the comment! Don't have time to do as much as I'd like, but I appreciate other fan-players' comments. Happy improvising! Daniel www.danielsmithbluesband.com

@@johnharte2729 Thanks! Happy boogieing! ds

@devilspawn4206 Many thanks! I'd love to dedicate more time to this, but, as with everyone... life's events and unpredictable vagaries eat up that precious commodity. However, watch this space and delighted my work may have been of some help in your boogie journey! Daniel

@@davidfarmer2049 Hello David, If you explain exactly which run-down you mean, I'll do my best to add explanatory detail via a further reply. Daniel Smith

??? Any will do. Great. Thanks.

I surprised at your question tbh the tutorial Ive watched is thought ful and insiteful of a learners needs. That question defo is not.

If I knew that would i be asking you?

Many thanks! This series has, I feel, all the main ingredients I personally feel intrinsic to a compact, coherent, comprehensive blues piano number, and was designed as thus. Let me know if any queries IF and AS you work through it. Daniel

OK - Tricks Of The Trade (speaking personally) are... 1) Focus on your thumb 1st. Your 'pinkie' a]should be 'set' at an octave distance, like a gauge and b]is the weaker , less accentuated of the 2 fingers, should you hit a 'bum note'! Same for ASCENDING and/or DESCENDING runs. // 2)Use your index finger to SLIDE off a black-note diminished-5th onto the white-note 5th (bear with me here) every 3 or 4 'hits' of the piano. In blues-scale C, for example, playing octaves C Eb F F# G Bb C, you may try index-finger SLIDING F#>G when playing 8ve Cs, and index-finger SLIDING C#>D when playing 8ve Gs. /// Anything further, get in touch!

Many thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. Cheers

Many thanks @bloke8838! I really wanted to do many more of these riffs, but LIFE gets in the way! Thanks again, gracias, danke schoen and Happy RH Riffing! www.danielsmithbluesband.com

You're welcome! Daniel www.danielsmithluesband.com

Many thanks Jerald... ¡Muchas gracias! and Happy Improvising. Daniel www.danielsmithbluesband.com

No problem. Many thanks for your comment!

Danke schön, Boogie Freund! Yes - sheet music WOULD be the logical next stage. Aber, wie immer... die Frage ist die Zeit zu finden! Happy playing and do get in touch any time! Daniel www.danielsmithbluesband.com

Ha ha - thanks un recht vielen Dank! Yes - sheet music would be great. But time and money!! Keep watching, thanks for the comment and get in touch any time. No mals danke schoen und bis naechtest Mal! Daniel www.danielsmithbluesband.com

Jeff, You're absolutely right! Sincerest apologies! I'm so focused on the notation on those Dom7/9th chords in "Part 1 Explained", I inserted them too early (Beat3) in the INTRODUCTION, as well as the subsequent deming bars 5-6 F and 7-8 C (but not 11 - 12 C!). Nevertheless, I'd suggest using the "Part 1 Explained" video as a notation guide ; and apply the "MODEL" video's rhythm & timing (the 'Beat4and' chord hits) to your actual playing of the whole piece. Please let me know if any further queries, thanks for pointing this out and apols again for any confusion. Daniel Smith www.danielsmithbluesband.com

Thanks for your reply, ive only starting playing the keyboard about 10 months ,teaching myself to play by watching you tube videos, i love the boogie woogie and blues, this the only reason i started this obsession to get better,anyway thanks again for your reply and im finding your videos a great help 👍

Jeff - Thank YOU for your reply to my reply! It's too important for me not to ensure any newly enthused pianist has all queries responded to. Please feel free to continue any boogie/blues piano dialogue with me via pinetopsblues@yahoo.co.uk... as I'd be more than happy to provide a few free tips and advice to continue your 'journey'. That's how I got started - in my case, an uncle. Good luck, Jeff, and thanks again. Daniel

Les - many thanks! Hope you get time to try the others I'm releasing in this series. #10 comes out tomorrow (Thu 09/06/22).... then a break, as I'm recording a new album with my band. In any case, I appreciate the comment and do let me know if you ever have any queries at all. Best wishes, Daniel

Hey 'Full Tilt Boogie'! Many thanks! Just trying to get as much of my knowledge as possible out there. #10 coming on Thursday! With Clarence 'Pinetop' Smith's birthday commemorated Sat 11th June, lest we not forget the originals and keep this great music alive! Best boogie wishes, Daniel
