Unlock a fountain of knowledge through 24 video lessons

This MusicGurus course gives you a complete overview of the stylist choices, character and idioms of Boogie-Woogie piano playing, from idea to conception. When learning any new instrument or style of playing, it's important to understand the context of what defines the style. Drawing from his extensive performance background with Sir Tom Jones, Jack Bruce and at the Ronnie Scott Blues Explosion at the world-renowned Ronnie Scott's Club, Paddy teaches you the musical language of the great Boogie-Woogie players such as Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis and Pinetop Smith. Not only will you learn the building blocks and famous riffs to these performers of the past, but you will gain indispensable knowledge on how to apply your own approach and playing style to your music, whilst remaining authentic to the genre.

With more than two hours of video content packed into 24 comprehensive lessons, you can expect to learn all the techniques including left-hand movement and right hand-phrasing, melodic structure and rhythm that makes the playing style unique. Alongside the video lessons, you are provided with downloadable sheet music and transcriptions of the lessons to further your development in the playing style and with mobile, tablet and desktop versions available, you can learn just about anywhere there is a piano.

Take the lessons at your own pace

There is nothing worse than the feeling of being rushed when trying to learn and understand something as deep and complex as music, after all, everyone takes on information at different rates and sometimes online learning platforms provide limited-time-only licenses and subscription services that pressure you into further purchases and more expensive subscription periods. Well, MusicGuru has changed that as with their courses not only do you get the wealth of knowledge from in-the-industry professionals, but you also get lifelong access to your course and all the downloads that come with it. This means you can take the course at your own pace. You'll be able to dip in and out when you please and if you ever feel you need a refresher you can come back to MusicGuru without the need for any further purchases.

MusicGuru can also boast difficulty ratings so you know what you're getting into and advanced video features for the lessons, so if you want to take it back and hear the excerpt again but at a bit of a slower speed, you can! Being compatible with phones, tablets and desktops, you'll be able to learn when you want, where you want, whether that be in front of your instrument at home or just to pass the time whilst commuting on the train, MusicGuru design the courses to work around you, whatever your lifestyle.
