Great job, Jonny! If a piano player were to go through all your videos and practice what you teach, they would become a very good piano player. Really appreciate what you are doing for youtube audiences!
Love ya Jonny mate. You're just awesome. When i'm here with you and everyone else in the comments section learning and reading i'm at my happiest, and the world is just a beautiful place.
That's great, you're a real good teacher. The blues is still a great school, specially when practiced with real defined and dinamic riffs on left hand, so you can feel free to develop endlessly your improvisational skills so.... Will it be possible for you to make a video on a dictionary of legendary rhythm blues riffs and.... And some of Be Bop blues-jazz styles and progressions of gospel...??? Thanx very much in advance...!!!
Jonny, fantastic teaching method... I can enjoy learning AND playing something new every time,,,, it's not about all this theory... its "let get going" style. Thank you! One comment... and I'm sure its the software since it looks like everyone uses it... the top keyboard with the highlighted notes as they are played... many a time I have to pause the vid to look carefully at the cord/notes... too much color - too much information to ingest. I truly believe that instead of filling the whole key with color as it is played, simple round DOTS - the size of a finger tip would be MUCH easier to follow. Maybe there is a way to try this?
Another great lesson. I’ve never been happy with the way my blues piano sounds. I’m not sure what I’m missing. I think that combining minor and major blues scales really adds a nice flavor to the music. I was wondering if you would consider doing blues piano lessons in other keys such as E, A, F, and G. These seem to be very popular keys when playing with other instruments. Although the concepts are the same, the licks can be different. For example you can’t always slide from the flatted third to the third, etc.
Loving how you embrace your music, great prof. Thanks for this really nice content. Very detailed and easy explained for the daft sausage hands I am. Keep on posting🤠🥳
Good day sir, I have been trying to play jazz solo for years, but I don't know how to combine the left hand that plays chords with the right hand, Actually I don't know where to put in my left hand chords while playing the melody on right hand. So could you please help me out on how you do that
Great lesson as always Jonny. I’d love to chat with you about a channel collaboration. Would you be interested? I’d love to interview you to my audience. Let me know and thanks for your contribution to the piano community 😊🙏🏾
Now I understand how things come together and be connected. My active online teacher, you two, Johnny and warren are the best ones I ever had. Thank you for this, I really can't wait!
Hey Jonny, good work as always, thank you! But I think the major blues scale in the 5th bar - chord F7 - doesn't fit well because of the e in your right hand, which is the maj7 to F. What do you think? Best wishes from Germany, Michael
Hi this is really helpful for me to practice improvisation ! thank you ! anyway i have one question. could i use use (for example) C those scale in songs rooted on C ? or i can use several different pentatonic scale depended on each chords. for example, songs C - F - G - F then i can use C / F / G pentatonic scale or only C pentatonic scale ? It will be very very very helpful for me to understand improvisation. Best Thank you
For each chord you can use b3 slide into 3rd, 5th 6th, b7th and 9th I IV V /C F G ends up being pretty much same as both major minor pentatonic of each but more useful to think about in this extended arpeggio chord context in my opinion
Would there be any reasons to do the Cm blues scale with the fingering: 1 2 3 4 1 3, instead of: 1 3 1 3 1 3. I found that I can do the scale faster using the first fingering. Would training my fingers using the alternating 1 3 1 3 1 3 fingering be better for developing smoother runs?
I think the 131313 is far better and smoother in my own experience , also it is more narural i guess . But For the fingering in any genre of music i always learn the common fingering than change it to my preference. Good luck anyway

Your lessons want me (a guitarist) to start playing the piano. 👍😄

this will probably be my favorite quick tip, thanks Jonny
It's one of mine too!
You are the best 👌
Wow! I yesterday asked you when to use major or minor blues scale and just today there's a full video about it!! Excellent as always. Thanks a lot!
1:44 That would be the best blues solo of my entire life.
He: "After a while it can start to sound a bit repetitive..." :-(
It's a class, not a performance.

Muy bien camarada
Interesting video !
Dude I wish you were my guitar teacher! I literally apply your lesson over guitar which can be tricky but it sounds sick!
Loving how you embrace your music, great prof. Thanks for this really nice content. Very detailed and easy explained for the daft sausage hands I am. Keep on posting🤠🥳
Hi sausage hands, I’m Mr Sausage Fingers
Hi, Johnny! Thank you)
Nice master🙏🏼
You keep saying you will put a link to backing track. I can't find it

Man why did Jonny not respond , damn it
@@prodbyaye8751 good question 🤷🏽♂️ it’s all good though.
Спасибо !!!
Thanks Jonny! Quick question.. do you know what 3 chords you'd play for the G blues scale in the left hand? :)
You would play G7, C7, D7 ;)
Love it, but... TOO MANY ADS!!! Still enjoyed the presentation. 😎
9:26 FACE
This is boogie
Good lesson, but that link for the top 5 tips isn't working for me.
Hey Jonny, good work as always, thank you! But I think the major blues scale in the 5th bar - chord F7 - doesn't fit well because of the e in your right hand, which is the maj7 to F. What do you think? Best wishes from Germany, Michael
Read this comment just as he talks about it at 9:30 lol
Do you also offer boogie woogie and ragtime tutorials on piano with Jonny?
He sure does!

I don't have a credit card. Can I join your lesson?
28 people are like "f*ck it, I don't want to learn the piano," and downvoted the video.
