Half stride or burlesque as you call it, is just a color or tool. Simple 5th to 6th left hand has its uses and I feel more represents rock and roll blues much better than half stride which can sound dated if used in rock and is better used in traditional blues.
"No thumbs on the black keys" isn't a hard and fast rule, but in this particular case it makes the chords in the left hand easier to hit accurately. Pianists typically avoid thumbs on the black keys because it is a less comfortable/natural position in certain cases, but then if you notice in the latter part of the lesson when Jonny gets to his right hand and plays the F7 chord, his thumb is on the Eb (black key) and he also uses it in the prior C7 chord to slide off onto the E note from the Eb ... don't get too caught up in details like that, because it will make your head spin, lol!
As a professional pianist of blues, jazz, rock, & R & B, I use thumbs on black keys in many instances. After trying several fingering, I then decide which is most efficient and gets me where I need to go smoothly. Good explanation above here...
Perhaps the best piano teacher I've come across on TH-cam. I'm definitely going to join in the near future
Just discover your channel, awesome, clear, reachable, visual. Thanks to you men, it's such a great teaching !
Awesome video, thanks Jonny. Your tutorial has sent me on the path to (hopefully) achieving the big blues sound that has so far proved elusive.
You are an excelent teacher!Thank you!
Brilliant!! You make it easier than it actually is, but all it takes is practice. Thank you.

Because we can’t do big strides like u do?

stupid question???......can we sound jazzy only by 4 chords, what about only 3 chords ???
Did you just refer to anyone who plays the other styles of blues as beginners?
thank you for this great lesson.
