Working on some boogie-woogie is an amazing way of improving your piano skills, especially when it comes to hand independence — and it’s a ton of fun in its own right. In this tutorial we go through some 12-bar boogie basics and then look at some left hand boogie woogie piano patterns and some right hand licks you can add over the top.
