Joy Boogie Piano Lessons
Well it’s that time of year again and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with an arrangement from the master himself, Chuck Leavell. “Joy Boogie” is a joyful and explosive boogie-woogie version of the traditional Christmas classic, “Joy to the World”.
There are few people who can match Chuck’s musical chops but we’ve done our best to turn this joyous piano celebration into a lesson that can be enjoyed by everyone; beginners through our most advanced piano students. “Joy Boogie” is packed with many of Chuck’s signature techniques. It’s got a killer walking eighth-note boogie-woogie bass line (influenced by Ian Stewart), moving through a scale diatonically while harmonizing each chord tone with the I chord and each passing tone with the IV or V, some signature pentatonic and blues licks, rolls, tritone substitutions, and it totally rocks. We can’t think of a better way to learn rock piano.
Our poll of Greatest Rock Piano Players has reached over 150K viewers and Chuck is currently third on the list with Elton John and Jerry Lee Lewis at the top. And who says the Rolling Stones are a guitar band? Four of their keyboardists ( Chuck, Nicky Hopkins, Billy Preston, and Ian Stewart) are currently ranked in the top ten.
