How to Play Boogie-Woogie | The 4 Main Left-Hand Techniques 1/3

Many people dive into Boogie-Woogie with two hands but I propose getting a few/or your favourite left hand patterns down first, in a few keys, eyes closed, to make sure your left hand has the correct and comfortable fingering for the shape in the keys (1 4 5 progression). Part 2 will bring in the right hand. Part 3 gives 5 of the most common right hand techniques. Remember that BW doesn't need to be played super fast so aim for steadiness in execution combined with precision.
