JERRY LEE LEWIS - LEFT HAND PATTERNS

[kerryincolumbus]

Now, I've been playing the piano for 47 years (classically trained)and dude, up until this very minute, I never knew that's how easy boogie woogie and early rock and roll was played!! I'm going to study this video for a few weeks and then dazzled my friends!! Thanks Brendan!

Thank you, Dr K: I'm not a piano player, but I love both boogie-woogie and early rock and roll piano. Your lesson here helps me understand how the former morphed into the latter.

Richtig, Rock'n'Roll Boogie ist ein spezieller Boogie Typus. Jerry Lee Lewis hat Ihn in die Taufe gehoben.
Einzigartig!

I love how you show us your piano skills Brendan, and i love THIS camera person. She has a very sweet voice and a great sense of humor. You two have a great chemistry.

I love your offerings, Brendan. You have to know, I actually burst out laughing because you made easy for me to finally understand. Thanks so much!

Genius. Such a great guy to share this with us mortals

He also pounds a left handed 1/4 note on the root 1st with pinky while rocking back-n- forth from the 5th to 6th with his thumb…his right hand hitting the chord on the “&” … his cousin Mickey Gilley used the same riff on his hit “the girls all get prettier at closing time “ .
I fronted them both back in 1985 at the HighKicker Saloon (a Gilley’s Club nock-off ) in Pontiac, MI.

You play just like the "killer" Brendan. Always brilliant piano playing Sir! If you ever listen to the 1989 soundtrack from the movie "Great Balls of Fire" starring Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee, I think it's Jerry Lee at his best. He played and sang all the music for the movie. Thank you for taking some time out for Jerry Lee Lewis, he's definitely one of the founders of Rock and Roll.

Thanks for being such an important part of my new daily piano challenge. You're my new go-to piano teacher! I am really enjoying your left-hand and right-hand lessons, especially when you delineate one style from another. Thanks for identifying the defining element of each style. Really great! I can actually play this stuff, after all!

Brendan - HOT DAMN, Dude!!  I've been searching the 'tube for years trying  to get JLL lessons.  YOU ARE THE MAN!!!  If I learn how to play Whole Lotta Shakin', I can die a happy man.  Keep Strokin', Leroy

[jeffsnow]

As a non-piano player listening to your music, I find myself wanting to learn how to play the piano, so I could play rock-in-roll or boogie woogie someday!
