"See what I"m doing here?" LOL yes I do. You"re giving excellent lessons and advice on playing jazz piano. I love your style and chill attitude. Im saving up to dive deep into your course, I'm convinced by watching your vids that I want you as my instructor. Thanks man.
Thank you for showing how to use the circle of 5th scale and how to swing fly me to the moon I really enjoyed this lesson you are a great teacher you made it easier for me to understand
I've tried for YEARS of playing jazz to try to solo without just playing the same song over and over.....Jonny's teaching has opened up a WHOLE new world of playing....many thanks
Thqt is for sure..bing a classical pianist..i would know whqt great teachers are..and even among -note dependent musicians like me...true great teachers are rare..they ar either full of potic descriptions that do not demonstrate specifics or specifics concerned thqt add up to little context..johnny maybe is whqt I d call a true inspired teacher with such clarity thqt helps you understand and guides on the HOW of things ..that a REALLY rar gift for a teacher..folks i you are looking for what ie often thrown around. But means nothing...as a word for teachers??..GENIUS? TONY MAY..if i could turn time back and learn jazz ..I'd be sleeping on his front door to be first for lessons every morning.
3rd of the way through this video and saving it to my favorites. Thanks, love your tutorials man, really appreciate it as I have dreams of becoming a cocktail or lounge player, though I'm kinda over the hill to be starting now. Still a blast to play for myself.
I learned so much from this. Thank you! I started playing Fly Me To the Moon with my friend and he said I should do a piano solo. I have been looking for ideas, and I found this. This was so cool. Thank you.
I'm subscribing right away…. I've been playing playing piano 🎹 for over four years now but I still didn't know how to solo, here just nailed it…. Thanks a whole lot
Dude you have some real skills and you are an excellent teacher! Excellent rhythmic ideas even when you re breaking it down for students who are not advanced. Keep this going! You are demystifying a.bunch.of good stuff!😎😎
Great!! I'm just a dumb rock bass player, but it happened that I'm blessed to make some nice music with a great singer and now this tune came to our setlist. So I was able to "not screw the song" - but when our jazzy pianist asked "bass solo??" - tilt ... no idea what's going on here. So I'm a fretboard guy, but things like chords and scales - I understand better on keys ... strange. So Your video opened my mind really. So first I understand this progression - great, and maybe I will be able to play _some_ solo on this progression (that is OK - hey, I'm just a rock bass player 😂) without screwing the progression. Thanks very much, liked!
What a treasure you ar a msuician and teacher..i do ?t know jazz since imthat tupical classical pianist...but you are a GREAT teacher..in the real way. Thank you
thanks for the tutorial! one question, the A melodic minor over E7 is really the E mixolydian b6 scale. I've heard often that this is not a good scale choice because the b6 goes a bit against the dominant sound. how would you the describe the feeling of that scale?
Surely using the harmonic minor over the last 3 chords would outline the Bm7-5 though? The melodic minor changes the Bm7-5 to Bm7 (i.e. the 2 chord of A major).
Hey Jonny... Love the videos. Just wondered. On AUTUMN LEAVES CYCLE OF FIFTHS you use F# MINOR instead of F MAJOR and E MINOR instead of E MAJOR. Is that just a different version of a cycle of fifths? 🤔
this should be called impro with 2 scales over first 8 bars od Fly me ... since after these 8 bars the progression doesn´t simply repeat and these 2 scales might not fit into the new chords. Mostly they do though.
I've been studying piano since 2001, first 6 years, with a teacher … and i … agree with last comments for others there except KevinR ruiters, i'm not that crazy ! lol … when i want to to teach myself to go the next step in progression of piano playing, i'm Learning more in 1 minute of playin than in dozens hours of video on the web, or even with a professor right now… cuz, i'll seek to improve either harmony anderstanding and knowing ( knowing that I know is really knowing Something ) or dexterity ( swithching double into triples next riff ) checking if I'm warmed as i thought, or therefore, warming up more, or trying Something else then… by example, how fit the timber of an Instrument with the timber of another one, constructing a melody, and harmonizing it, then, orchestrating, using harmony knowledges in the sequencer… etc … ) it dépends of what you want to improve… for ears I bet on solying improvising waves… darkwave or not, swithching, what is important is to remember to chord name, to not miss in the position while arpegiating ;o) so many methods, why not, 1 per person as best, and others from other people than ourself, not bad at all !
Cycle of 4ths and the cycle of 5ths are the same,, just different directions. I prefer to call 4ths because I associate forward movement with going upward, which is closer to how guitar thinks ( I started on guitar ). See my comment above. And no, Oyla, he's not making a mistake, he's just going down instead of up. When you say Am7 - D7 is a fifth, you are going Down from A - to D, ( A is a fifth up from D ) , but forward movement is A to D, so up a fourth seems the easier way to look at it, so I agree with you.
I know everyone likes to call it a 'cycle of fifths' but to get to fifths, you have to go down. Well, since I, personally, associate forward movement with going up, I prefer to all it cycle of fourths. Am7 - D7 . The reason is that I originally started on Guitar, and that is an upward movement on guitar, in fourths (sixth string root on Am7, fifth string root on D7 is more typical on guitar ) So, for me, I call it the cycle of fourths.
??? It is both a cycle of fourths and a cycle of fifths. Example, G is a fifth above C when you ascend. Count up C-D-E-F-G. But the octave C is a fourth above G when you count back down C-B-A-G. At first confusing but simply the same note! But the fifth note of the scale resolving downwards is the fundamental principle of Western music.

You are doing a great job. Playing and teaching are not the same, but you excel in both. Happy I found you.
I appreciate that!

It took me 30 years and your videos to understand that Fly Me To the Moon is the ideal entry point into jazz piano :) - it’s almost too logical.
Actually I think Autumn Leaves is a better entry tune but Fly Me to the Moon and Shadow of Your Smile are close second choices
Brilliant lesson thanks very much
this was so good!!
Thank you for showing how to use the circle of 5th scale and how to swing fly me to the moon I really enjoyed this lesson you are a great teacher you made it easier for me to understand

You're an excellent teacher. And this is and very pleasant to play for beginners like me. Thank you very much!
Between 7:13 & 7:19 was pure brilliance. I just love an uncluttered melody that soars and boy did you nail it. Wow!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. 👍👍👍
Good teachers are hard to find! Surely you're a gem! You make everything so simple and clear and I am so grateful for your lesson :)

C'est un vrai plaisir de vous écouter Johnny . Merci .
Great video, Jonny! Small error at 1:12. It's the cycle 5ths not 6ths. Thanks for the great tips!!
I dont have much music theory, but you explained it so well. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson and very easy to follow! You made hard stuff simple for the rest of us!
他的课很好
I see what you’re doing! Thanks!
I've learned more in 10 minutes than all of the time I wasted trying to teach myself piano playing.....sigh!!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
That was really good johnny. So easy to follow,for for an elderly learner like me, cheers😎🥃
Thank you, Jonny! 👍🌷
You've got a great groove! I practised it in a few keys, and I l like your rythmical approach
Awesome 👌 Thank you!
Nice video dude. Blew my mind twice

Jonny, thank you for this one! Very helpful way for me to look at this tune, so I can also transpose it easily as well.
Ji Jonny how to be a member and what are the fees

You are the best pianist for me..
If we are playing the song on F major key, can we do the Solo part in the same keys and scales that you have taught in this video?
Jonny very good
very nice
Awesome video :)
I play guitar and i loves this chanel
A melodic minor does not have note f, that is the b5 in Bm7b5.
thanks
thanks for the tutorial! one question, the A melodic minor over E7 is really the E mixolydian b6 scale. I've heard often that this is not a good scale choice because the b6 goes a bit against the dominant sound. how would you the describe the feeling of that scale?

Good job ( that Ab note is confusing if you don’t know the V I in Am)
Also I love the swing 8ths mixed with straight 8ths ... very jazzy
Because it should appear as a G# instead (which is what he called it).
just thinking about how that g sharp sounds over the Amin7 if you are playing the G natural, the 7th of the A min7th chord.
Hey Jonny... Love the videos. Just wondered. On AUTUMN LEAVES CYCLE OF FIFTHS you use F# MINOR instead of F MAJOR and E MINOR instead of E MAJOR. Is that just a different version of a cycle of fifths? 🤔
A phrase to remember the progression. All dogs go crying from bath every afternoon.
Why do we call it the cycle of 5ths when we are actually moving in 4ths ??
(A- to D7 is a movement of 4ths etc)
Grazie
If you are playing the circle of fifths counter clockwise, would that be considered the circle of fifths regression? 🤔
This one is circle of fourth
Great ideas here, but why not put this tutorial in 3/4 since that's how Bart Howard wrote it?
It’s the jazz version tho. Like Frank Sinatra had it
I think the most important part being the scales was addressed
Because no one in jazz plays it in 3/4. But, no reason why you shouldn't, if that is how you prefer it.
Can I put a stride left hand with it
Can you pls give me the link of backing tracks , tks
What’s the background rhythm in the beginning?
this should be called impro with 2 scales over first 8 bars od Fly me ... since after these 8 bars the progression doesn´t simply repeat and these 2 scales might not fit into the new chords. Mostly they do though.

Is nobody gonna mention that this progression is literally I will survive too 😂
Instead of playing the shell voicings with two notes, can I use three?
Those occasional glances sort of tells d viewer, hey keep watching 🦹🏼♂️👀👁 A clever way to communicate 🤷♀️💃🏼
a bit crunchy with the Ab in melodic minor and A natural in Bm7b5 but whatever
8:17 ok....but using only 4 notes you can not expand your melody ......RIGHT ???
Did you mean the cycle of fifths at 01:12?
2:04 it's not a 5th progression cycle, but a 4th progression. No ?
You are right, it is circle of forth . I am sure, it was a genuine mistake.
Circle of fourth
Cycle of 4ths and the cycle of 5ths are the same,, just different directions. I prefer to call 4ths because I associate forward movement with going upward, which is closer to how guitar thinks ( I started on guitar ). See my comment above.
