Regardless of the negative comments, I think that this is a good tutorial. All the other Blueberry Hill tutorials I have seen, do not cover the basic difficult part of this tune. The difficult part is getting the left hand to know what the right is doing.....literally! Sometimes, one has to 'go back to basics' and this video does just that. I can play all the chords (and many more) but I couldn't get the timing (of the left hand to the right) correct. Now I have it. Thank you. Les Salmon
Hi I'm doing a research on the origins of Jamaican ska and early New Orleans styles are among the first influences especially new orleans woogie boogie, but I need to know the exact piano style that Fats Domino plays in "Jambalaya" is there any particular name for that piano syncopation? Thanks beforehand, awesome playing.
Nice lesson. .. although the count should be 123456 not 123 the timing is 6/8 not 3/4 it kinda threw me off and I can play that style of piano. .. thanks for posting

Thanks. My teaching style is to make it as easy as possible. Glad to be of help.

The rhythm is a basic shuffle rhythm used in a lot of early 50ties and 60tis music. Most notably by Elvis Presly in "All Shook Up"
He once told me he plays Jambalaya in D Flat. That was all we discussed about it.
I like the second C up the octave but good tutorial
Thank you.
Thanks. Glad to be of help.

I wish you were my piano teacher!

Check out my rendition of "Blueberry Hill"

Thanks
It is in 4/4 time but I broke it down to make it easier to understand
Waltzing Mathilda!!
I thought the original was 4/4, but here we see it's like a fast waltz (3/4)

Thanks for the comments. Actually the timing is in 4/4 using triplets. The 1 2 3 was to make it easier to follow.
I see. ..Thanks
