"Hi, John Aguilar again and today we are going to do another simple boogie. Remember where we were with C. Pinky finger on C which is next to two black notes. Then we are going to put our middle finger on E, thumb on G and we are just going to go up and down. Those three notes. Kind of dull that way so we can add the right hand now. Take the right hand thumb and put it on C and the third finger on E there. Every time we play a note in the left hand right after we are going to play these two notes. A very simple boogie. Let's move to another key. To the key of F. D, D, E, F. Move everything up to F. There is F there, F there. Next to three black notes. Everything feels the same. Then we will go to G right next door. Back to F. Back home to C. And this is another simple boogie. You can use it for a song like Elvis Presley's All Shuck Up. Oh, well bless my soul, what's wrong with me. I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree. And there's another simple boogie."
