Boogie woogie bugle boy (Melody line (no lyrics) and boogie-woogie piano part) - The Andrew sisters

This classic boogie woogie offers a lot of fun at the keyboard with various levels of accompaniment patterns included. The accompaniment part is divided to chords and left hand boogie-woogie line, one staff is for melody. This makes it possible for the player to choose what to play: melody with bass line or chords with bass line. There is no need to play the melody if someone is singing or playing the melody.

The original boogie woogie bass line is rather demanding technically. This arragement offers three other left hand accompaniment patterns to choose from. The patterns are presented after the lead sheet, and they should be applied to each chord. The right hand accompaniment part is rather simple: four-note chords should be distributed equally on the beats and off-beats. If you need for more information on the accompaniment topic, please refer to the book Keyboard Accompaniment and Improvisation.
