No, afraid I've not been to Norway! I think the nearest I've ever been to Norway is Whitby, a coastal town on the north east coast of England. I've been to Ireland loads of times though! I'd love to go and see some of the scenery that inspired Edvard Grieg. I have both his Piano Concerto's on CD. H...

Yeah, I see what you mean with the drum corps, Marius! I used to be a Boy Scout back in my home city of Birmingham (about 55 miles/88km from here) but it's not exactly the same thing, is it!!! Have a look in your inbox M! Heheh, no its not exactly the same thing! :lol: Have you been in Norway before?

Yeah. And I've got loads of easy stuff that I've found in charity shops or in Hay on Wye (little town about 22 miles from here that is famous all over the world for bookshops - there are about 50 bookshops there!) that just include the five white notes either side of Middle C that will start you of...

But i have looked at this video. And they have boogie and blues lessons dvd. Maybe I gonna buy it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKaI3gSxhjQ Their advertisement seems pretty good.. Is it expensive? In my experience, these video advertisements seem to showcase the best parts and you are left feelin...

Yeah, i have printed it out Im at my cabin, not home. And i have no piano here. But i understand the text, Dave. So i dont think its gonna be any problems !

Marius DO NOT worry about being good or as good as me! I am not a teacher I won't pick faults with your playing, just appreciate the fact that you have recorded yourself and you are sharing your playing with me, hey!! Let me tell you something Marius as you're my friend. I used to have a MASSIVE pr...

I wish I could hear you play some boogie woogie Marius. Or jazz. Do you like jazz piano? like Oscar Peterson or Thelonious Monk? I can try to record, when im playing some boogie/blues. But im not as good as you! So don`t expect something. I think its ok to listen to jazz piano. But i dont play it.

Soo cute cats And i think you`re a good piano player!! Love the christmas song.

Thanks again Dave

Hello Marius! your dog is sooooo cute! I love rottweilers, I have a border terrier, a cat and a budgie... Unfortunately I can't really help you with anything about boogie stuff, as I am more into playing classical music. nice to meet you! :) Oh, thanks Moonlight :oops: Nice to meet you also :)

You are only 17 and you've got more active brain cells than me!!!! hahaha no seriously go for it Marius! Do you live close to a shop that sells printed music? Hahah, good o...

Marius wrote: But what you mean whit sight reading?

Sight reading=reading the printed music on the music stand and playing straight from that!

Oh, now i got it!

Have you tried learning to sight read as it's a very important skill to have when you're playing something like the piano But it's real cool jkl you're teaching yourself to play piano, Marius! The only problem with not having a teacher is that if you're doing something that is not right, there is n...

Hey Marius, are you teaching yourself to play piano, and are you learning to play 'by ear' or can you read music (that's what I mean by 'sight-reading' I taught myself to play using a book for around 18 months before I got my piano teacher! Yeah, im teaching my self. I can listen to a CD, and play ...

No! I play all sorts so long as it's easy and it helps me to sight read. Classical and rock, I like to play it all. I have a piano teacher and I've got a lot of home work that I've got to play to her on her piano on the 18th of October. And also I'm playing lots of Christmas carols right now! They'...

You can get blues and gospel riffs on piano on the internet. Have you tried expert village? I have quite a few DVDs at home about learning blues, jazz and gospel piano but I have not managed to find something that specifically covers boogie-woogie. I have a Duane Shinn DVD but I think you'd be disa...

Hey. Im a 17 years old boy from Norway. I play drums and piano. My problem is to play whit 2 hands at the same time. Because when i try to play boogie and blues, its just a mess.
