I am wondering, what application are you using so that it will be shown above what you are pressing on your piano keyboard? Thanks. For educational purposes only.
I'm a one-finger-piano-player.... :-) never played piano before BUT... i tried your exercise and a new world opened in front of my eyes. The day after you posted this exercise, i decided to start getting piano lessons... and now it's the thing i love more in my life!!! thank you very much! Ah i forgot to tell you: I'm 64 years old :-)
I subscribed for a year or two, and was very satisfied with the instruction. In fact, there are almost to many courses and I found myself getting distracting going from one to another. I'm used to having that personal instructor who would NOT allow me to wonder off. But Jonny seems to have the best teaching videos going. Highly recommend subscribing.
you are incredable teaching I will keep in mind that you are inspiring me to play piano with 58 year age and no nothing about jazz and can't read the music note. I will remain you as idol to play. great thanks with excellence lesson
I would love to see more lessons About how to use those diatonic chords in inversions in any tunes and some exercises and voiceleading lessons for the right hand. Thanks
Essential tips! Thank you Jonny. I've been playing for over twenty years but have never had lessons in jazz piano so clearly explained and broken down. This will take my playing to a whole new level. Thanks again 🙏
Thank you so much, Jonny! I was trying to learn Jazz piano from in-person lessons, but NO ONE really had any excercises or technique tips. I'm the type of student that needs deliberate practice in order to master skills. Unfortunately, many teachers I run into say I will just "pick it up" and to give it time. Well, 20 years later, I'm still confused. Until, I found you! Thank you so much for your insights and methodologies. Thank you also for all your hard work and creating this channel. I will definitely be buying some of your courses. Many many thanks!💖
I have a young piano student who is just about ready to start learning diatonic 7th chords. I like the right hand arpeggios incorporated here, because it makes it more realistic and fun for a young musician!
Thanks Jonny!!!! I come from a classical education, and i've been struggling for years in the attempt to learn some jazz piano technique. I'm quite sure this will help me.
This is AMAZING! as a classically trained pianist it is so well explained. As I get older, I love jazz more and more as it's so interesting to the ear. Can't wait to check out more videos. Your blues video I've seen is excellent too!
I am more involved with blues playing right now than jazz per se so I am more inclined to work on that but I do plan to be playing more jazz as I go along so this helps me rekindle my training.
It has been several bideos that I'm watching now and to be honest your channel is really really really nice. There is so many things to learn in Piano and it hard to heard about them sometimes. Diatonic I would probably take more time to heear about it but thanks to you I learn many many things. Thank you very Much Jonny! Hope you doing well !
I would then play them with left hand inversions around middle C. Not just in root form although that's a good visual startup. Try to keep the chords between F below middle C and G above middle C for a guide. Lastly you could just omit the root altogether and add the nine (2nd) for a more real world experience. I would become a member in a heartbeat if I could justify the $299 when I have 2 jobs and so little time to play. Jonny is spot on if you want to learn jazz or Ragtime or just sound better. I'm a saxophonist but I think Jonny teaches music in a way that can apply to any western instrument. Even drummers can benefit from playing along.
Great video, been playing classical piano for a while but never really got into learning Jazz. This is a good starting point and I was able to play some of the stuff from this video EDIT: Because of this video, I signed up for a free trial of your Piano w/ Jonny Course and so far the information is very useful and practical (I was able to almost instantly apply it). I will likely keep it and pay for at least a month or two. Thanks!
Oh my god!!! This is soooooo brilliant!!!! It explained every single question in my head. I wish I had watched it much earlier. Thank you so much Jonny
This is great. I have only been learning piano through classical music, I'd like to try some jazz sometime. When that time comes, I'll surely be watching this video again.
Wow...my piano skills just leveled up. This was incredibly helpful! Where was this when I was 10 trying to learn piano?!? Definitely going to teach it to my son
This looks awesome! I just started (again!) learning to play keyboard. And this looks "theoretically" not too difficult to learn. I'm not really familiar with jazz, but you actually showed how Jazz is made for playing in an improvisational style.
Thank you a lot Jonny! This is an incredible exercise, when I first read the title I thought to some useful but boring excercise! This is instead an enjoyable way to improve tempo and technique! More on this, please
This must take a fair amount of video editing chops to pull off. He’s got 3 elements going on. This guy is really good at all this. Music is a whole other can of worms. I just spent all day making a video that isn’t finished and now I don’t feel like playing. Bah!!!! I’m depressed.
Oh wow Johnny, I can go on listeing to these lessons. Its so beautiful. I cannot read notes very well, ( am 70 years) but know the keyboard with very basic reading skills, like a child readig A, B, C lol). I love Jazz and am gonna try hard. I love your style and autumn leaves, and misty really got my blood moving. Do you have a link to your regular playing where can listen. I am from Sri Lanka. Faizal Hathy.
Great video, thanks. Question from a beginner. Let's say during this exercise I need to play chord that starts with black key for example Ebmaj7. When I play the pattern in my right hand I have two options: 1) start with the thumb (in a "chord like" fashion) 2) start with the forefinger (in a "solo/arpeggio like" fashion). What would you recommend?
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. Your videos are very inspirational. Every time I see one, I want to go to the piano and start practicing.
Thank you very much for your very good tutorials. I especially like the very pragmatic approach from you, to be able to do something nice with only a small effort. Keep up the very good work 👍😊
Hello Jonny: This is a very important lesson for me. It opens up an important door to how to improvise. What is the name of the fake book you are holding up ? I need a reliable fake book to learn from, any suggestions are welcome. Thank you for the great "Quick Tip" lesson !!! Your help is greatly appreciated. Peace.
That was such an excellent video. Thanks very much Jonny. I've never played jazz before - as I never knew even how to start. This video definitely starts me off with jazz. Very nice. Also - really nice selection of music you chose for the video.
Really like the diatonic 7th chords. Ive struggled with hearing jazz ( I play by ear) and sheet music. I just had an “I get it now” moment. Saw others said the same, you’re doing something right.
Hello Johnny thank you for all the superb Videos and Inputs you give ****** I can't find anymore the Video with the diatonic 7th chords, which is rhythmically played with anticipation at the end of the chords before going in the next one; can you tell me please which video it is ? Thankyou ; best wishes from Switzerland.
I am absolutely loving this exercise so far! One thing, is it normal for this rhythm to feel so clunky at first? i keep feeling like everytime i start to speed it up a little my pinky is getting weak and my second chord keeps trying to land on the 3 instead of the & of 2. Should i just keep practicing it slowly?

@@PianoWithJonny Love it. What about minor and diatonic 7th chords.
Essential tips! Thank you Jonny. I've been playing for over twenty years but have never had lessons in jazz piano so clearly explained and broken down. This will take my playing to a whole new level. Thanks again 🙏
Your instruction is excellent in every way
I'm a sax player and these exercises are just as valuable.
Awesome!
If anybody's wondering why the flat keys are more common in Jazz music, it's because they're easier to play for the brass and sax players.
Jonny is the best! Even his exercises are cool songs. I learn more from Jonny in 2 minutes than from anyone else’s 1-hr lecture.
Jonny is my guy! The GOAT of piano teachers. Period!

Whoa! I was discouraged when you first started the exercise but when you broke it down I was relieved. 😅 I can do that....eventually!!
You can do it!
Now, I understand how jazz structure build. 7th, and next are 9th and 11th, Genius exercise !.
I have a young piano student who is just about ready to start learning diatonic 7th chords. I like the right hand arpeggios incorporated here, because it makes it more realistic and fun for a young musician!
What a big marvelous pianist and teacher too, you are !!! Thank you very much indeed Dear Jonny May !
I love how the chords chase the single notes up the progression, and then single notes chase the chords back down. Great exercise! Thanks Johnny 🙏
Thanks Jonny!!!!
I come from a classical education, and i've been struggling for years in the attempt to learn some jazz piano technique. I'm quite sure this will help me.

Thank you for watching, so glad that you're learning from them!
I play classical piano but jazz has been a beautiful mystery to me. You break it down so well. I think you have a prospective student.
Fantastic lesson. Holy crap is it hard in other keys...got a long journey ahead of me.
More flats or sharps increases the challenge, but it also teaches your fingers to move with more fluidity. So you double benefits from the practice.
You are just great, Jonny!. I just subscribed, it all starts now...

EXELENT , WHEN I . PLAY MY PIANO , I . ALWAYS LOVE TO PLAY BASICALLY MOST 7 TH CHORDS . IN MY STALY OF MUSIC . THANKS FOR THE TIPS .

Really thoughtful lesson on jazz development!!! Thank you!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh my god!!! This is soooooo brilliant!!!! It explained every single question in my head. I wish I had watched it much earlier. Thank you so much Jonny
Love your teaching Johnny,
could you please do an exercise video for diatonic seventh chords in a minor key please?
Much appreciated,
Alessandro
This is great. I have only been learning piano through classical music, I'd like to try some jazz sometime. When that time comes, I'll surely be watching this video again.
Excellent Jonny!,... Thanks for sharing your knowledge! GOD BLESS YOU Alberto : )
WOW this is awesome!
Wow beautiful i did not even new that one could do that : to skip one key the Index finger ! Top i have a lot to practice
Thanks, very good, the first time I try some structured Jazz. I'm going to practise them regularly and see how far it will take me.
Another very nice sounding and easy to practise exercise. Thanks so much. You really push my poor wanna be piano skills 😉
Glad to hear it!
Sir, I appreciate your lesson, you make piano leaning so easy for me
Jonny
Amazing. I follow you every time. Your technique is nice. I am from Kolkata of State West Bengal in India. Thanks a lot. Goutam Mitra.
You are a great teacher, I know I repeat myself😊❤
Thank you! 😃
Thanks Jonny, your exercises are amazing. Once you start them, it's hard to stop. Your simplicity is unrivalled.
Wow...my piano skills just leveled up. This was incredibly helpful! Where was this when I was 10 trying to learn piano?!?
Definitely going to teach it to my son
Glad it was helpful!
Really like this! Maybe I will learn how to accompany myself! Thank you Jonny!
This looks awesome!
I just started (again!) learning to play keyboard.
And this looks "theoretically" not too difficult to learn.
I'm not really familiar with jazz, but you actually showed how
Jazz is made for playing in an improvisational style.
Fantastic - clear explanation of both jazz harmonies along with some really practical exercises.
incredible, shrewd, hugely practical!
Thank you a lot Jonny! This is an incredible exercise, when I first read the title I thought to some useful but boring excercise! This is instead an enjoyable way to improve tempo and technique!

Glad you liked it!
Thank you!!! Great exercise. Very enjoyable, and obviously helpful for improvement!!! thanks Jonny!!!
Oh You are Pro of Pro.Genie. Thank U for your VDO.
This is fantastic advice, you have single handedly elevated my playing and i thank you for that
I saw him use both hands....
Wow Brilliant. I need to practice at temple 50 first.

You're definitely my most important channel to follow on all RUclips!!!
I love your style of piano jazz. Have you got any videos just playing... as in whole pieces? I could listen and work to this all day!
Great video, thanks. Question from a beginner. Let's say during this exercise I need to play chord that starts with black key for example Ebmaj7. When I play the pattern in my right hand I have two options:
1) start with the thumb (in a "chord like" fashion)
2) start with the forefinger (in a "solo/arpeggio like" fashion).

Like your approach Jonny; nice pace - for me, at least.
Thank you very much, Jonny. I am a beginner and need a lot of help. I hope to take a step at a time to be like you.
Thanks a million, Jonny. I almost gave up learning Jazz piano from the internet. Now, where can I buy that music book?!? (Did you make one?)
Johnny, the intro you play with the walking bass is so beautiful wow
It’s Autumn Leaves. In case you were wondering.
