Very good breakdown of the steps to learning Boogie Woogie. Best parts are showing exactly what keys to play, learning the Ba Dum rhythm, and having us play along with you at a slow enough pace to learn.
Thanks a lot! And I'm super happy you're making progress and you enjoyed the leeson! If you have any additional questions, feel free to book a completely free 1on1 lesson with me. I'll help you out and make you progress faster. 😉 calendly.com/jonah-schwickert/1on1-call-with-jonah
Thank you for this I have seen 100 different people try to teach this but you can barely see their piano also they tell you the chords and notes that they're going to be hitting when I don't know know chords or how to read notes LoL but the way you show it I do know all the letters to the keys and sharps and flats so I can write it down and then later on practice more and actually learn the song. It's a shame you don't have at least a million subscribers because you really know how to communicate with beginners way better than these pros who want to tell you what type of arpeggios to use and all this mess when a lot of us don't even know how to read notes yet. LoL
Wow, thank you so much for this thoughtful comment, Jay! 🙏🎹 I’m so glad my teaching style is working for you, and it’s awesome to hear that writing down the notes is helping you learn. Everyone learns in their own way, and I aim to make it as accessible as possible. I’ll keep the beginner-friendly lessons coming-keep up the great practice, and who knows, maybe we’ll hit that million subscribers together someday! 😊🔥
Well we both know that your teaching is not just helping me the beginner way that you teach is so simplistic that anyone can catch on and that's a great thing also I noticed your version of boogie woogie sounds correct too yours has more rhythm instead of sounding like something that's just made up to try to sound like boogie woogie keep up the good work and I will be on your channel learning. 💯
Hi Jonah I am mature age, can read music, @ intermediate level… Thank you so much, this lesson is perfect for me… My music book from Amazon turned up yesterday BOOGIE WOOGIE PIANO RIFFS VOL l LEFT HAND BASS PATTERNS I have found this bass line pattern 30….. and I wanted a right hand chord which you have just given me… This is my second bass line …..I can play three riffs, now you have given me a new one….My progress is slow after a lifetime of playing straight music…I love today’s lesson I notice there is 3/3…. THANK YOU… So much 😁
Hey Suzanne - thanks for the comment. I’m so happy to hear this lesson was able to give you the right hand chord you’re looking for. And it’s awesome you got a boogie woogie book of Amazon!! And three riffs, wow! Very nice. Glad to hear you enjoyed today’s lesson and yes, there are 3 main lessons. But I saw you already discovered some of my other ones. 😉 If you need any help with your Boogie Woogie learning - don’t hesitate to book a free call with me here: calendly.com/jonah-schwickert/1on1-call-with-jonah I’ll be happy to help you on your journey! Best Jonah
I agree that anything can be learned if you are properly motivated, but the ultimate truth is that it requires REAL PRACTICE and DEDICATION and that takes more than 20 minutes. Your lesson may only be 20 minutes long, but I'm not learning to play it in 20 minutes. It takes A LOT of PRACTICE, and that's just reality. I wouldn't ever want to discourage anybody from learning this because it's awesome, but I wouldn't want them to have unreal expectations either, which can be discouraging in and of itself. PRACTICE is key. It always was and always will be if you really want to learn to play an instrument of any sort.
I agree with you a thousand percent basically I think what he means is you will learn all of the keys to it in 20 minutes but you will have to practice possibly for a couple months to get it down that's what has happened with me with songs I sit there in one night and I write down all of the notes or in my case the letters of the keys since I can't read notes and it takes me sometimes a few weeks or even two or three months to learn that song. So he is right you will learn it in 20 minutes but you won't be able to play it for hours days weeks or months. LoL There is even professional pianist who sit there and do concert Halls on TH-cam who say when they first learned a piece it took them a year and a half I don't know how good you are but we both might be in the same boat where we learn the right and left hand in one night and it most likely will take us several weeks or months to put it together with both hands and play a good.
hey thanks , i getting back in to playing again soon , i going to purchase a yamaha PSR-425 . so this looks perfect for me to have a go at . ill look out for any more videos you make . thanks Steve/Australia
Hey Steve, great to hear you’re getting back into playing! 🎹 The Yamaha PSR-425 is a solid choice-it’ll be perfect for diving into boogie woogie. I’ll have more lessons coming your way, so keep an eye out. Wishing you loads of fun and success as you get back into it. Greetings to Australia! 🎶🇦🇺
I am as new as... still waiting for my first keyboard piano to come in. So this video is very helpful. To help with the independence, I imagine playing the left hand bass lines while reading a book.. I have played guitar for 20 years now and I feel when I learned as a beginner there, that doing other things while playing guitar significantly improves hand independence, just a thought, but do tell me if I am wrong :) Thanks again for this very useful video!
Thanks for the comment John, and I'm glad this guide was helpful and will help you with your Boogie Woogie Journey! That's when I know I did my job. That's awesome that you're diversifying your instrument and genre capability! Boogie Woogie Piano is truly an amazing musical style and will open up so many doors for you like blues, rock n' roll, and so on. Thanks for the great advice too - but you won't believe it... As I was reading your comment this morning, I was just finishing on editing an entire lesson, on hand independence, which I recorded last night, that includes the EXACT exercises you are talking about. Strangely perfect coincidence. 😅 You can check it out today - I'll upload it in a few hours. Would probably be really valuable for you. And the second part of the Boogie Woogie Beginner Masterclass will go up by tomorrow which will add on to this one you watched here. When is your piano arriving so you can start with the implementation? 😛
Awesome man. Happy practicing. If you have any questions about what you’re practicing or any Piano / Boogie Woogie topic in general, feel free dm me on Instagram at jonah.schwickert.music I’ll be glad to help ya get things going on your Boogie Woogie Journey. 😉🏆
@@jonahschwickert I will take you up on that, much appreciated! I been doing exercises to disconnect my hands. It's funny how you can sort of feel your brain desperately trying to hold on the connection you try to sever, but it's going better by the hour. Thanks again, it's really appreciated!
Jonah, thank you very much for your time, passion and experience, your teaching videos are terrific and I’m learning a lot from them. Boogie Woogie Power on! Geoff.
Hi Ron! Yes! There are visuals like that in each lesson + a lot more resources to help beginners learn. If you want to, I can show you in detail how it looks, in a free zoom call. You can book it here: calendly.com/jonah-schwickert/1on1-call-with-jonah Looking forward to it! Best, Jonah
I love Henri too! I learnt a lot from him. If you mean affect in a positive way, then yes, certainly! Boogie Woogie is unmatched in developing great rhythm and swing feeling, for example. As well as giving you incredible hand independence + hand dexterity. 🎹 Definitely worth learning, and it’s easy to do too!
I understand why you say, just listen and repeat and don't be bothered by the theoretics. Still I think it would help if you would show the staffs and notes. It will help e.g. for timing -at least those that already read music. People have multiple sensory inputs and using all channels will only support the speed of learning. (My experience with teaching anything, supported by actual research.) So I would show the sheet for those who understand, and tell that it's only there for support but not the goal of this lesson to learn.
Hey Flo, thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! 🎹 You're absolutely right-multiple sensory inputs can indeed enhance the learning experience, especially for those already comfortable with reading music. My focus has been on helping people learn by feel and ear, which is such a vital part of boogie woogie, but I totally see how having the sheet music as a visual aid could support timing and reinforce learning. If a student is more advanced, we cover the theoretics all the time in an efficient manner. I’ll definitely consider including sheet music in future lessons as an optional resource for those who find it helpful, while still keeping the emphasis on ear training and improvisation. I really appreciate your perspective-it’s valuable insights like yours that help me improve the way I teach. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work on your boogie journey! 🎶"
Haha, I love this, Hektor! 😄🎹 Boogie woogie knows no age limits-on or off the piano! Being left-handed might even give you a leg up on those bass lines. Keep boogie-ing and proving that age is just a number! 🔥🎶
by the end of the lesson you will be able to play it with "the same groove" and "the same swing"... (sorry to harp, but that's misleading.) After 20 minutes? Anyway. It looks like your lessons are free, so I don't guess you're trying to hoodwink anybody. MY BAD. You're awesome! Keep up the good work!
COMPLETE beginner is what is says. COMPLETE beginner. I can't help myself. It doesn't matter what I'm saying. If you're helping people, you are doing a good thing, and that's all that really matters, so disregard my comments.
Thanks for your feedback! 🙌🎹 I’ll definitely try to focus more on saying the notes in future lessons to make it easier to follow along. I really appreciate your suggestion-it helps me make the lessons better for everyone. Keep rocking those keys! 🎶

I'm a classical pianist, but I like Henri Herbert and he doesn't live far from me. But will boogie-woogie affect my piano technique?
I love Henri too! I learnt a lot from him.
If you mean affect in a positive way, then yes, certainly! Boogie Woogie is unmatched in developing great rhythm and swing feeling, for example.
As well as giving you incredible hand independence + hand dexterity. 🎹
Definitely worth learning, and it’s easy to do too!
Very nice details and lesson. Love it. Only thing I advice is talk should be reduced a bit, otherwise perfect. Thanks.

Check my newer videos ☺️
@@jonahschwickert thank you, I like your teaching. Now you have an 80 yr old student.
Shoot - I can't stand those "falling notes." I get nothing from them.
Check out my newest video, I’ve replaced the falling notes with something better!
You speak more and play less
Isn’t that part of teaching? 😅
