Does anyone have any ideas on learning to play piano in the Jerry Lee style? I know he uses simple blues scales, but he's got a unique style all his own. I've been all over the Net and can't find any music books or appropriate sites. Any suggestions on where I can find "riffs" that reek of Jerry Lee?

Some of those courses might get you there.

It might involve your 13 year old cousin, too

That crossed my mind as well. Oh, and a pact with the devil.

... and don't forget to use your right foot from time to time (and I am not talking about pedals)

...kick that bench...play those keys from every possible angle and position...hammer that piano like there's no tomorrow... then set it on fire...but KEEP on playing!

Isn't that a form of what they call "stride piano"?
I would do an internet search on "stride" piano all the major publishers have books about it some have videos also.

Go to www.musicrobot.com and download Jerry Lee's "Great Balls of Fire." Load that into your sequencer and print out the piano channel. The midi is pretty close and the print out should give you some indication of what's happening.
