Chords for New Orleans Blues Piano #1

_ Hi, welcome to Amy Nolte Music.
There are these kids in a middle school that I play for and they're singing
Sweet Home Chicago in their choir
Hi girls, if anybody's watching and I'm playing this boogie woogie part for them
And I realized that it wouldn't be very hard to teach so I'm totally gonna teach it to you
There's not much to it.
You got a left hand that does boogie [E] woogie
Don't don't don't don't don't don't do it.
I'm gonna show it [G] to you and then you've got a right hand that kind of fits together
_ really nicely _ and
If you watch it close and enough times you're gonna be able to play a blues [B] in this style
It's kind of a boogie shuffle.
I guess I'll call it boogie shuffle
This is how the form of the blues goes this blues.
We've got one bar of G one bar of C
Two more bars of G all of these are actually seven chords, but I'm not gonna worry about it
Then for our second four bars, we've got one bar of C
Now _ two bars of C and then two bars of G.
All right, and for the last four bars, we've got
one bar of D
one bar of C two bars of G
Let's see how it sounds.
All right.
This is how it goes.
The left hand is very simple [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] like [C] that
we switch _ _
_ _ _ Then we [G] go back. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Go back to C.
So we're on G and C so far
_ And then [G] we're back to G
It's _ _ _ _ _ just a blues
[D] Then we're at D _
_ [C] C
And back to [G] G
There _ _ we go
[D] _ _
Just octave D's right [B] hand.
It's a little more tricky goes like this
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [G] _
[Cm] _ _ [G] _ [Eb] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ [G] _ [Cm] _
_ [B] Here's how it [Cm] fits together
[G] You _
[C] _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[E] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ [Gm] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
[C] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
really want to [C] accent them?
_ _ [Eb] It's like ba da ba da with your right.
I [C] see
[Gm] [G] Do [C] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _
_ [G] you hear the triplet [D] one two three?
[C] _ _
[G] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [C] It really makes it swing hard
[E] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
Then we [C] switch
_ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _
[C] _ [F] _ [Cm] _ [C] _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [Dm] like that
So this [Gb] is this one.
[E] You're not sliding you're [Dm] using a one two
[G]
All [D] _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ [B] _ _ _
[C] _ [F] _ [Cm] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _
[G] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
right.
Let's try it with some singing.
We'll get the full effect _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] _ [G] _
[C] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ That's all you have to do to start over remember just an octave [Eb] D7 chord and you're right back in
[G] _
[C] _ [G] All right.
Thanks everybody.
We'll see you next time
