What its lesson teaches

10.5 Drive a boogie and stride bass

Study Concert Boogie Etude, a short original study in C: twelve bars of block chords in the right hand over a rolling left hand that shuffles in triplets (C–G and C–A). Keep the triplet boogie bass steady under the right hand’s straight chords. Then, at the keyboard, turn the bass into a stride pattern: play a stride bass and a twelve-bar blues.

Technique
  • C major scale, hands together, 4 octaves
