As you become familiar with the C Chord piano Boogie in the key of C shown in the above video, try other Boogie riffs in different keys. You can do a piano Boogie in any key. Try using a left hand pattern of C-E-G-A-Bb as shown in the video and occasionally try using a different left hand piano Boogie riff of C-E-A-G and repeat that.

The piano Boogie in the key of C, begins with one finger of the left hand playing the low piano notes, C-E-G-A-Bb (B Flat) and the same notes in reverse, Bb-A-G-E-C. After each left hand note on the piano, the right hand plays a right hand C Chord on the upper register of the piano. The video above shows the progression.

Boogie has been a part of music in general and piano music in particular since the early part of the 20th Century. It was the backbone of many of the big band numbers and it was used extensively during Rock and Roll's earliest days of the 1940s and 1950s. The piano playing of Jack Fina was like a preview of what was around the corner with the piano sounds of Fats Domino, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. In the Country music arena, Del Wood's version of Down Yonder had people's feet bouncing in a Rock and Roll tempo before the term became widely used.
