You know what really makes you stand out to me, Jonny May? The fact that you don't look like you're focusing really hard on the piano. You don't have this look of concentration on your face. You're grooving while you're playing. It takes A LOT of skill to get that good, especially with how complex your songs are. And it makes it so your videos are that much more enjoyable, because people like to see you enjoy yourself while you're playing, especially me. Excellent work!
That is what i call a skill. Takes years to achieve. Amazing to see how precise your left hand is. I played piano for 4 years and this kind of music, when you have to jump with your left hand, was most difficult. ResPect
Hey Jonny! Just out of curiosity, have you considered releasing a full album of ragtime Disney music? I'm sure many of your subscribers would be more than thrilled to buy it! I've been hunting for Disney ragtime for the better part of the last seven years, and your arrangements are the best by far!
Yes I have considered it! There are so many great Disney songs. This summer I will likely start putting out compilation albums of my performances. So I will probably do a Disney one.
+Jonny May you should consider sending this to Disney btw. They have covers of all their Disney songs on the speakers as you walk through their Disneyland parks! A lot of them are ragtime too! Could be some nice cash too 😉
I almost never comment on videos, but I felt that I just had to say that watching you play is simply inspiring! I've been playing piano for about 8 years and I've never seen this kind of happiness just emanate from any players, including myself, unfortunately. A truly enjoyable and inspiring video! Amazing accuracy with those left hand jumps, too (always been a struggling point for me)!
Mr. May, your talent, skill and wonderful arrangements are a delight. My wife and I really enjoy listening to your great music. Thanks and regards, Bob & Linda, Ontario Canada
LOL !!!! FANTASTIC , people like you make the internet a gateway to the heart and soul and put a great big smile on the face of folks. Oh and yes I am just a mega tad jealous !! AW thanks for such brilliant playing .
I was searching for a piano version of Bare Necessities and came across this. It honestly took my breath away and I am now a Jonny May fan for sure. Good luck. Your playing is amazing and totally enjoyable. You deserve all the best.
Jonny I love your music. I play piano also and love ragtime, your an inspiration to me as well as others hearing you makes me want to keep playing and practicing.. Thanks
Jonny your piano playing is beyond incredible! To get to see you play in person would be the most amazing thing. Keep playing forever i love it! I listen to it all day
Your renditions have always put a smile on my face. I have been playing for over 20 years and I look up to you so much and you inspire me to get better. ❤
hooooly that was insane :c your runs and jumps etc are so flawless. Being able to play ragtime on the piano is one of my biggest wishs i hope that i'll be able to one day Great Job Jonny :)
Love you Jonny. You are everything I wanted to be in this lifetime! Keep being blessed and blessing others. Thank you for privileging me with your response. Oh for a touch of your charm and charisma!!! BRAVO
I just love this so much. It makes me happy. Without fail it makes me smile and happy every time! Jonny do you want to come to London and play at my birthday party?
Dude your music brings a smile to my face .. Doesn't matter if the first time I've heard it or the 100th.. Awesome.. (Still waiting on that iTunes release ;)
***** The part where he crosses over his hands, with the left hand above the right. The notes he plays on the right hand somewhat resemble a part of the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. Hey, I might be wrong :)
***** Haha. Anyways, I wasn't referring to the notes in specific. Just the style he played in. The notes are different, but definitely the style sound like the part in the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2!
The joy on Jonny's face looks like he's constantly being surprised by how well he can play
If I could play like that, I'd be shocked too!
i had to turn this video off because my piano could hear it and was getting mad that i couldn't do that to her
What if... and hear me out.... off screen a disney representetive has a gun pointed at his head while whispering
”Yes, smile for your lord disney”
@@tevitavuki6100 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant. On a par with Kristen Mosca!
His face when he plays...pure joy
95894L00L8934702 _xnyhf I Know Right!!!!! Joy!!!!
Exactly, I hope every single human being finds something to be so passionate about as he is about playing the piano
95894L00L8934702 _xnyhf if I was that good I'd be happy too

This is seriously one of the most impressive things I've seen on piano. I can't stop watching it!
You did it. You made a happy song even happier than Disney
Your runs are insane. I love this so much
You're right, the man has suffered diarrhea for years now. xD

I would love to listen to that! You should also be on Spotify, I would listen to you all the time then! :D
If an album of your ragtime songs is made available, I would definitely buy a copy!

Really great sense of rythm, congrats
My all time favourite player! Next indeed has to follow.. I wanna be like you with this song starting a medley!
bravo jonny, you are wonderful 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I see a little bit of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in this :) Perfectly played, effortless.

This is truly brilliant, and the cat is absolutely adorable.
Pura maestria sei un grande pianista. Cerco di imitarti da diverso tempo ma è praticamente impossibile. Complimenti!
Just pure brilliance !
Your runs remind me of a southern gospel pianist, Anthony Burger. Very nice.
This song is incredibly wonderful!
this guy is pure gold! keep it up dude!
Holy friggin hell that was incredible!!!!!
Incredible playing well done!
I have bought the sheet music and am practicing hours a day it’s so good!
How’s it going? Was thinking about learning this too but probably way beyond my skill level.
