Thank you, I took classical piano lessons for 7 years and never learned riffs, my dad is going to be thrilled when he hears me play the Boogie Woogie the way my grandmother did when he was a boy...I can't wait to learn more and make my piano rock!
As being, a return from 50+ yrs., I appreciate, your kindness for my lessons have been quite harsh. Yet, I know no-one who has a perfect life. Yet, Jesus gives strength to move on. Thanks Dr. K.!!!
Firstly, great lesson. I don't play piano at all - but I learned these licks. I play a bit of guitar . For years I tried to learn certain Stevie Ray Vaughan songs but I just couldn't get them - why? - I was trying to learn them at normal tempo. The best lesson I ever heard was - when you are learning something , learn it as slowly as you need to play it accurately - and it doesn't matter how slowly that is - as long as it's accurate. Bingo - my playing came on an order of magnitude - I really couldn't believe it . I learned the songs slow & then built up to tempo. You seem really quite annoyed at slowing it all down - you shouldn't be - it opens up the music to those less talented than you - I do not play piano at all - yet I can now play these licks - that is fantastic. Please don't be frustrated - this lesson was great.
Yes, your videos are exactly the way to learn. The step by step videos that you make give us a chance to absorb. That is how we learn. This slow examples you give in this video yes is much better for the riffs. Yet, keep doing what you do by giving us a little at a time to learn on one video. Please never change that.
Thanks so much Brendan! Now this is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. The Dr. John riff is my all time favorite!! I call it the "rolly riff"!! Too many times I've seen other instructors on TH-cam repeat a riff 5 times, but not slow enough. If it's not SLOW enough, it's very difficult for us amateurs to get it, no matter how many times we repeat and play back. You are my favorite instructor on TH-cam. No disrespect to the other intructors on here. Keep those (slow) right hand riffs coming!!
The variation sounds great. Its also really good that you show these examples so we can connect the sound of it to the actually played pattern and transition it to different riffs. Really good video. Thanks.
Thank you Brendon ... I am a beginner in boogie woogie... I am learning your lessons very seriously .. sometimes it’s frustrating to to get the coordination .. but thank you for your little tips
Mr. Brendan I wont to thank you for slowing down a little this is a big help too me and I really like when you play at the mall and other places and I have learned a lot just by whatching youand the others play keep it up Thanks Larry from the middle of the US
The only reason I am here to learn thse licks is because you took the time to slow it all down. I'm 72, and a guitar player for more than 55 years, banjo for more than 40 years and can't play anything but single notes "God Save the Queen" on the piano. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing it this way even though it frustrates you so much. Thank you so very much, from an old man who's learning the blues and the Boogie Woogie on piano, all because of your kindness.
Love your lessons and personality. I even enjoy your sidekick, called "Camera Person." haha. Hey, if people find your lessons too fast, they can go to the little work wheel for settings, and slow down the video.
Brendan Kavanagh thank you so much for your lessons :-) It's verry helpful! Haha amazing .. I mean spreading experiences all over the world throught youtube! Thank you 1nce again!
Thanks for the tip reveirter! with Brendan's earlier lesson, I had to keep hitting pause and then write the chords on paper then take it to the piano and pratice. A long process but it works. But with his new slower version, it's much quicker and you can actually see the keys his fingers land on, yeahhhh!!!
I ride bicycles and fly small airplanes. Both of those tasks are much harder when done slowly. I can not play piano (yet) but I can only imagine how hard it is to play anything, let alone Boogie Woogie, slowly. I'm sure it's a bit frustrating, but I do appreciate what it must take to do that. Thank you for that, Dr. K. Play on! :)
Thanks Brendan, just spent a quick half hour on this one before setting off for work This was much easier to pick up at that speed. Please, please, please do it for that Jerry Lee Lewis right hand. Thank you again for sharing your great expertise with us
Thanks much for taking the time to slow things down. It does help even though people could just slow down the video. At 5:01 you missed coming back up to the C. Was that intentional or just part of improvising? I am concerned about missing the timing if I do that. Just a heads up, when you refer to your subscribers as moaning it comes across as a bit condescending. 😀
I have been all over the internet and I have bought instructional videos that teach everything except this quintessential piano lick. Even my Johnny Johnson piano video, he didn't break down this lick. Figures I would find it in England lol assuming this is where you shot this video? You my friend are the only one that took the time to break down this lick that isn't hard but when played up to speed is hard to pick it out by ear.
Really like the last confidence-giving comment, he seems slightly impatient sometimes but this guy is great. Thanks Brendan, enjoying your videos......any suggestions on a make of lower end price electric piano? No room for a stand up I'm afraid.
Please would you post the piano start to Status Quos' "Rocking all over the World"? It is eluding me and driving me n u t s ! In anticipation.......thanks. Bob
Why not say the notes as I could have wrote them down, I had trouble following as a beginner and had to keep rewinding. Treat everyone as a beginner and you the teacher, a mighty good one at that.
Nope. I'll never get it. The whole concept of improv or add-lib I just don't get. I mean, for starters, it seems to me that in any given key there are notes you use and certain notes you can't, that's what I don't get!
I prefer Henri’s tutorials. A lot of yours involve too much ‘oneupmanship’; as in “I’ve really slowed this down for you so even you lot should be able to get this.” Also, he’s a much better pianist than you. You hit quite a few ‘bum’ notes as well. However, I’ll probably carry on watching your videos as their fairly entertaining when one is at a loose end!
You can never do it slow enough for a complete novice because it’s actually very hard to see the keys. If only they would light up when you press them . Sorry to be a moan

Excellent (and fun) stuff ! Kudos from the US !
I’ve played Boogie for years but this was a great help. Rare for someone to be willing to slow it this much and I loved it. Many thanks

Good job breaking these riffs down. Keep up the good work. When do we get to see the camera person?
She shows up in a couple of the recently posted lessons. Also check out "chocolate Addiction boogie" BK
Dr K looking tan! I’m not in position to follow but your performance makes me want to play piano.
Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing !
Love it is the badass bundle include no bundle 3 the rock n roll stuff

Nice playing,
Thank you very much...going to practice now.
Thank`s. It`s very interesting and usefull.
Just use the youtube setting to slow down the video. All speeds available.
haha got ya Brendan,:-)) Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I think I've found one locally for 200 euro, damn good price I reckon.
Thank very much for slow down grate

Fuck notes. Way better to just learn the patterns in boogie woogie
Did you take the play sheet down? Nothing comes up when I hit the link. Love this kind of music, thanks for your time.
+rephibian Here you go, dude: www.badassboogie.com/
how much i pay fir yoyr boogi woogi full tutorial?
Speed just right !😄
this is good, thank you,!,
its good that I can slow this down to 25% of you playback speed
I find it difficult to play a clean third with the grace note. It gets muddied into something like a three note run. Any practice tips?
Ml
What piano are you using?
he said so at the end, its a Yamaha Clavinova
Which one tho?
please send me detail payment for full course.
Thank you.
What size piano is that I would like one that size.
Only a tad bit late, but it's a full size 88 just like the average piano and most keyboards.
THATS THE WAY, FOR OS AMATØRS 😀🥰👍
We can just play the video on a slower speed. Go to settings at the bottom of the screen
R u friends with ricky gervais?
does anybody know what the term "eight-eight" pattern relates to?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Star Man!!!!
Family Matters 😆
You know, of course, the Beatles used this riff in Nowhere Man, in the key of D.
👍👍👍💖
When you slow it down given us the notes so we can write them down save going backwards and forwards otherwise great information
Camera person ten out of ten
To be a little more helpful, why don't you publish what you play on sheet ?
