Every above answer, which refers to practicing, is very applicable here, cos boogies are just as about left hand as the right hand. For this music, it is assumed that you know what 12 bar blues are. Also, you need to be able to play swing rhythms on the left hand. Typical of African-American music, the left hand in your example contains a switching from the A minor to A minor diminished, in the 1rst inversion. In the end, I advise you to learn blues and swing and then approach this. | |
