These lessons in chord structure are brilliant, not just for pianists but also for guitarists. I have added so much colour to my playing by studying your ideas. Incidentally, your blues lessons are particularly useful in finding a way of escaping from the usual guitar melody patterns and chord shapes, reinforcing the idea that musicians benefit from studying the way their favourite musical forms are approached on other instruments.
Merci beaucoup, Jonny. I'm still a Nooby but starting to get a handle on voicings, thanks to your videos. For now I'm playing them very mechanically, but you help show the light at the end of the tunnel.
First of all many thanks for your time! I've been starting jazz piano for six months and as homework for the summer I'll have to play all the major progressions of 2 5 1. I saw that you use 7-3-7 in the right hand while I use 3-7-3 (D-7 : SX D Dx F-G-A-C-E) Which is the best to start with? Thanks again
Hey Jonny I have a question. Could you make a video talking on different techniques about modulations. I would love you to watch the video "cómo pasar de una tonalidad a otra" de Jesus Molina. He´s a prodogy musician, maybe you could explain a little bit of what he does in that video. Saludos and much love
Thank you so much! I have a question. What is the scale/mode you play at 08.11? What scale or mode can I play when I am practicing 2-5-1 progression in C major?
I'm not a master composer but the chord constructed by stacking thirds on the 5th grade while remaining within the major scale is a dominant 7 chord. It perfectly resolves into the tonic as the 5th stays, the 7th and the 5th turn into the third and the 3rd goes up half a step into the tonic. Using a major 7 on the 5th would imply using a flat 5, which can be considered to be borrowed from the lydian scale but I guess it requires some tricks to be reached without sounding extremely ugly.

Thanks! Guitar player here, grunge/rock player for nearly 30yrs. Expanding by upping my chord game, and this is super helpful!
Crumbs! I actually understood those first bits! Thanks Jonny.

I'm not there yet but some day I'll give you credit for turning me into a jazz god.
I can highly recommend Tony Winston too, he has a reservoir of useful content
This is great, looking forward to starting the course soon!
Hey Johnny, you are the best that ever did the music man . My music has gotten better thanks 👍 Johnny.... keep up the good work.
"quick tip" - 18 minute video

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH 🎉🎉🎉
Very informative and understandable 😊 thank you

I love this review! I've used some of these. Makes this progression sound amazing. Thanks for this great video, Johnny.
Amazing as usual!!!!! Thanks!!!!
Nice I know these on the guitar now I see them on the KEYS .Thanks.
Amazing lesson
Thanks for this video! I’m excited to incorporate those upper structures!

You can read more explanation in the Quick Tip: pianowithjonny.com/piano-lessons/2-5-1-chord-progression-5-levels-from-beginner-to-pro/
Another Jonny Banger! I'm a beginner but I think I can handle level 5. I like that sound

nice video, can you please do a 6-2-5-1 progression?
@PianoWithJonny
What about the 7-3-6 (Minor 2-5-1)? For what I've this is what you want to use is your target is a Minor chord and not a major chord.
OMG! Upper structuuuuresssss
What would be an intermediate level jazz chord progression for Sting's Moonlight? It's got a great jazz solo.
You should maybe explain why the E works over the G7
any black Friday sale , i would love to register
Thanks a lot. Excuse me Jonny, why it is so important 2,5,1?
ชอบครับ จากประทศไทย
In the quick tip version of this lesson, I see lots of errors when labeling the chord note numbers. Could you review and fix?
Thank you so much! I have a question.
What is the scale/mode you play at 08.11?
What scale or mode can I play when I am practicing 2-5-1 progression in C major?
12:35 so it's a G13 despite the notation reading G9 right?
Most details piano theory
I know you have 0:38 beginner piano videos. I'm not able to find them on ur RUclips channel.
1:46 so what you taught us in a previous video....betrayal
So why the fifth in a 251 is always played as a dominant 7 and not a major 7?
Thanks
