Wow hey Noah and Jonny! A nice chance here to tell you both thank you! At the same time haha. I've learned so much from your videos. Best wishes, Felix
I just discovered your channel and your lessons are simply perfect and easy to understand! I Wish I have had a piano teacher like you when I was younger! Anyway, I have a question to ask: this tritone substitution is applicable in a 2-5-1 progression right? But if I want to add this technique to a pop song, how would it be? Can you find an example please? Thank you in adv Jonny, you are amazing!
Awesome! There's a difference between (us) knowing something in theory, and seeing how it pans out to sound great in practice. Specially when you layer 2 or 3 upgrades on top of each other! More of this sort of thing please :)
PS 7:38 definitely does sound good - and I'm slowing down to 0.25 speed to spot all the extra sauce you're putting on top of the things you went on to show us!! :D
Fantastic lesson this has cleared up so much confusion for myself. piano with Jonny is great thank so very much. keep up the good work, and of course your fabulous playing. your enthusiasm is addictive. Top Man.
Just great Johnny. Just discovered your site and just think it’s the best jazz teaching method I was ever taught ! So clear, so simple, so much fun ! Thanks so much from France!
Good evening! I study according to your lessons, it is very useful. Thank you very much for doing a good job. And could you drop the whole collection with these wonderful works?
Definitely a fan of approaching with a dom7 from either above OR below. However if it's a maj7, or a m7, or a m7b5, the tritone no longer shares the 3 and 7. At that point it's less a tritone sub, and more a chromatic approach chord. And while it's true that the chromatic approach from ABOVE is a tritone away when doing V-I changes, no reason you can't also approach from below.
Coming from a classical background, it's interesting how this is similar to the Neapolitan chord (bII), but in classical music it's usually in first inversion (and it doesn't have the 7th), and then instead of resolving straight to the I chord, it goes to V then I.
Good explanation and a good way for spicing up a chord progression if used sparingly. Used all the time through an entire tune… not for me. Too much of a good thing isn’t always wonderful.
Using inverted chords on the passing chords would help minimize the movement of the left hand and make it easier for the player. The 7th of note of the passing chord should be the root of the next chord.
Jonny, putting aside the actual lesson here for a moment (which as great), there's something ELSE in this video that hit me like a lightning bolt. You routinely use your thumb to play two adjacent notes at the same time!
Fully understood the principle, very well explained. Too difficult to play for me, as a beginner. Spreading the chords LH/RH, alternatively root+3rd and root+7th no way for now :-)

You are an amazing musician and teacher, I like all your videos. They are just so resourceful
Thank you so much!
Best explanation I’ve heard, and I first read about tritone substitution nearly 15 years ago…wish I’d had this video back then!
Ah man you beat me to this by a day! Great video. Love the way you explain this so clearly.
Haha thanks Noah! I’m sure your video will be awesome. Can’t wait to check it out.

You' re the best Jonny! Keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❣️❣️
Maestro!!! This is great!!!!!!
More more jonny of this. Theory Love it
I can sight read so easily the music you have but it's the understanding and taking it off the music that is tough!
You freekin me out..how cool is this…your great…
I open these utubes just so I can play the opening bits over and over, they sound so great. What a pianist.
1000% Thank you!
I truly appreciate all of your help. One of the cords I would have done differently. After I get another piano, I will show you.

Very good explanation
It's so true and sounds really cool. I've been using the French six on my guitar and it sounds good too. Almost like it was meant to be there LOL.

I love the way you go ooooo when you play a cool chord change. 😅
Best teacher!
Wow, that advanced version is PHAAT!!! Thanks for a great lesson!
I really like your style and I'm paying more attention to the lessons!Thanks!!!
Wow thanks for this explanation. I needed someone to spell it out for me step by step (half-step by half-step) like this.
Truly, Truly.....AMAZING
Just great Johnny. Just discovered your site and just think it’s the best jazz teaching method I was ever taught ! So clear, so simple, so much fun ! Thanks so much from France!
Best tips for me, thank you so much Jonny!
Nice explanation. Just curious about one thing, why the 3/4 time for the pickup notes, isn’t it just 4/4 with a rest on the first beat?
My brilliant teacher ❤️✌🏽 the same alot
Pretty bluesy too. Nice, thanks for this.
Absolutly excellent Johnny. grand Bravo from Paris
Really appreciate the easy to understand approach. Once again, this concept has eluded me until this point. And great choice of songs to show it on!
Very clear illustration and great choice of song as example. Love it! Please keep these tutorials coming!
It's very helpful.. thank you Mr.Johny for the video lesson 🎶🎵👏🙏
Thanks 👍
Excellent explanation 😄 Simple, practical, and applicable immediately.
Thanks a Lot Mr Jony for blessing my life.
I am not a pianist - I am a guitarist. This has been a very clear explanation of something that could be muddy. Thanks
Cool tricks....thanx!
Sir ver good explanation and it is very useful
Thank you Jonny ❤️❤️❤️
So powerful. Thank you.
Great Lesson. 👍Thank you Jonny
Awesome! Thank you, sir.
One of the best explanation..
I'm a guitarist & this was helpful. Thanks.
Hi Jonny, Excellent lesson. Very clear. I'm trying to teach myself jazz harmonizations and this has helped me a lot. Thanks.
Great down and dirty explanation Jonny! Thank you.
Awesome, as usual 👌🏻
Thankyou Jonny.
Great explanation Jonny, which I had met you years ago!
Great job!! 😃
Exactly what i'm looking for.
Good evening! I study according to your lessons, it is very useful. Thank you very much for doing a good job. And could you drop the whole collection with these wonderful works?
I'm Highly Interested jonny. I would like to learn piano after seeing you play and teaching in a technical way.what should I do next?
Super video!!! Merci Olivier, cet échange avec Marie est genial!! Merci à vous deux! :)
Wow man very clear explanation. I'm a guitar player but I learn a lot from the piano
It's amazing the way you explain and share your knowledge. It's not easy, but you make it posible to face our our limits. Thanks for that Johnny. Yo
This is beautiful and simple!
Would like to see a similar video for the entire song - is one available?
Thanks 🙏 bravo merci, follow you 🎹🎼
Opening my eyes ... thank you!
Thanks for letting me look at this technique. I am Rev Rollen 😊. I also play trumpet and will use your technique to liven up my practice exercises.
Amazing lesson! Thank you! I will check out your website!

Brilliant. Sounds great gonna try it out.
just the lesson I was waiting for
C la substitution tritonique.
Merci pour les explications
ExceIlent lesson !!
Fantastic content! Thank you!
Thanks, so helpful! Please more videos like this🙏
Well done Jonny, this is very helpful.
Love it Jonny ❤️❤️❤️
Fantástico viedo!! muchas gracias, Jonny!!
Very Nice ,
real great stuff jonny. thanks!
Outstanding info! Thanks!
The best teacher……
In spite of being a (7-string) guitar player, I enjoyed your fresh approach to Autumn Leaves!
Jonny, putting aside the actual lesson here for a moment (which as great), there's something ELSE in this video that hit me like a lightning bolt. You routinely use your thumb to play two adjacent notes at the same time!
Thank you
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🔥🔥🌹🌹
3:45 Money shot #1 😃
Fully understood the principle, very well explained. Too difficult to play for me, as a beginner. Spreading the chords LH/RH, alternatively root+3rd and root+7th no way for now :-)
Fenomenal, Gracias!!!
I'd like to hear what you would do with a Beatles tune like "Here, There and Everywhere" or maybe a Jobim tune like "Wave" or "One Note Samba."
Wonderful
Nice
Wow. Thx
Tino Carugate n 148 scale diminuite
That is cool stuff Jonny - add enough chords and the song plays itself🤣
When would approaching the the target chord by a half-step above *not* work? Does it need to be on 7th chords only?
Is the key to the beginner approach that we drop the 5th?
New to piano. Having trouble going from C and G Major to D Major ???
