Introduction

Here is that famous introduction, which you are welcome to play in the LH alone or doubled in both hands.

Accompaniment Strategy

I am using a boogie woogie left hand part for this song, as it’s a great way to bring this song to life in a very piano-centric way.

Solo section

For the solo section, you can continue with the boogie woogie bass line, while adding F major and minor pentatonic scales in the right hand as improvisation starters.
