I'm a current member of PWJ. HOLY CRAP MAN - where have you been hiding this nugget of gold. All my random studies of music theory JUST KICKED IN and made sense!!! Everything builds on itself. GREAT foundational work. Thanks again, and see you in the forums!!! Joe G
Lol please don’t listen to rich here. The blues scale and pentatonic scales are definitely useful but there are many other scales you can us over dominant chords. Like diminished, mixolydian, whole tone, and bebop scales.
Jonny, I don't understand the magic here. The key signature is Bb, Eb, Ab,Db which clearly shows it is an Ab scale (and makes evident Eb7 is a dominant 7th role here). Then the natural sign releases all four of them, in Dm7 and G7 chords so it is clear again only looking at the signs it is a simple C scale (where of course G7 is the dominant seventh) . Why we need to find a dominant sevenths?? Why we don't simply look at the key signatures? It seems a reversed process to me.
My two cents worth... There are two major seventh chords in a key, while there is only one dominant seventh chord. With two choices, which would be the one. With the dominant 7th chord it eliminates the guesswork. And it will most likely show up before the Maj7 chord.
Jonny, I've been playing for a long time and I know all the theory behind what you are teaching in this lesson and I can play it. But I can't read music. Do you have a course in reading music for someone like me?
Maybe I am a bird of little brain! but you lost me at 5 minutes in. How can there be time to work all that math out on the fly when trying to improvise? Would it not be easier to just do it by ear? I can't believe all that is going on in the jazz players head when finding a melodic line over all the key changes going on in your average standard jazz tune. Even Bill Evans said the hardest thing was finding a good melodic line not finding good substitute hamonies. If you're going to just play major scales how do you get to play anything better than a few arpeggios?

Jonny, thank you. That is incredible, how jazzy a natural major scale sounds under right circumstances!
You are the best music teacher in the world. thank you very much
Thanks Jonny!
Wonderful lesson!
Thank you!
Man! Thats awesome! I was always suspecting that there is some trick to find the scales. That's really a neat approach! Thank you so much for sharing!
Really nice presentation, very clear
Dude, thank you for putting all these treasures online... as a beginning jazz pianist, I can just say: THANK YOU!
Excellent summary of what can be a daunting topic in Jazz for beginners- Succinctly summarised the 6-2-5-1 progressions as well. Really helpful.
Genius! Very intersting, thank you for this quick tip!
Incredible Jonny. Thank you for sharing your mastery.
You're an amazing pianist, Jonny! Just purchased your "Happy Birthday" to work on this challenge. Thanks for your videos, they're helpful!
I love you Jonny. This is so much easier than the crazy modes!
Excellent video! Explains why learn to recognize diatonic chords and ii V7 I progressions too!
you are the best explaining in the best way. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Can‘t be explained in an easier way. Just great! Highly usable!
Very nice content. Thank you sir.
What a great jazz pianist you are! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
😎👍🏻🎹👏
Didn't know it's so important to know the diatonic scale! Now I understand the chords much better. Thank you John! 🎶
Thank you, good stuff!
Thank you!!!
Bass player, just discovered this it seems to have changed my world, wish someone would have told me this years ago 😂
A brilliant lesson! A lot of great pianists can't teacher, but you are an awesome teacher!
sr thank u for valuable class
How to apply this method over the dominant 7 resolving to minor tonality?
Jonny ..Son excelentes sus tutoriales...saludos desde Venezuela
Wow thankyou for you quik tip that was a very usefull one
Great lesson! I view these lessons on a tablet; I never see the links to which he refers. Can anyone tell me why?
Great...! Gracias.
But what about Giant Steps? Not to mention, what do you do when it's a Dixieland song and every chord is a Dom7?
Blues scales and pentatonic

Barbaro Jonny, thank you!
Hi Jonny, where's the link to the 50% ?
YES

Johnny God bless you. Can you give us gospel lesson ??? Thanks before9
Thanks Jonny! Why did you use the Dom 7 chords instead of just looking for the Maj 7 chords to tell you your key?

to read its practice practice practice lol, learn what the different notes are then just practice playing them and saying the chord
Wow you did 13 mutes on the topic and did mention the cycle ?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👏👏💎🍁
Uhhhh or you could look at the key signature of the song.
