And I also see that you use a LH fingering (e.g. at 9:51) that I (as an amateur) would not have chosen. I would use (2,1), (5,1), (3,2) and (3,1) and so on... My automatic fingering tend to choose the fingering that you show in the video (at 9:50 using (2,1), (5,1), (2,1) and (2,1)), but it seems anatomically better choose the fingering I suggest above. In your choice, in a subsequent run you have to move (2,1) from (C,E) to (D,F) (both fingers), whereas in my suggestion you only have to move 1 from E to F having 2 free to place it on D. I suppose I have erroneous assessments, but could you elaborate a bit on that? Generally, in your lessons, I think you should focus somewhat more on fingering issues. I have the conviction that having the fingering as good as ergonomically possible from the start will prevent later muscle trouble.
Why doesn't this have more views? Jonny you're awesome man. Personally I'm moving from fast blues to more jazzy lines, Jonny helps a lot. Merci beaucoup
I'm not a beginner, (keys, sax, flute) and even though i might know most of this, it's always smart to review. You have such a wonderful vibe about you. You are such a great teacher. I love your channel.
Thank you, I will practice it more. I just want to ask you, if you truly know, how jazzmans do it, that they hear all the chords immediately. I can recognize triad like 1 4 5 or sometimes tonic on 6 and the other chords I just guess. Is it about psyche or emotional ease?
On a G dominant chord, there are 4 notes: G, B, D, and F. However, you can add more notes that give it more evolved and interesting qualities. These extra notes are called extensions, and as it turns out, the diminished scale has many extensions that happen to sound good on dominant chords.
Can someone explain to me why he goes tediously through scales just up and down and at the end he makes very different unrelated improvisation. What has happened here ?
This is an awesome lesson, Jonny! Thank you! I was not familiar with the dominant diminished scale. It's great to be able to learn new stuff at the piano all the time.
Hello Johny I am a member of Piano witn Johny, it is amazing what I am learning. I wanted to comment that I have been having some problems with the fingering on this exercise. I see that you start each time with a different finger, I haven't learned this yet. Do you have any exercises for this? it would be great to have this agulity to be able to go up and up the scales more automatically. Greetings!
I like the general idea of this exercise and I’ve done stuff quite similar to it but I really don’t like where the 4ths wind up rhythmically on the Imaj7. I like to do this kind of stuff but using the bebop major and Dorian scales. In that context, you wind up with the chord tones in all the important places rhythmically.
I love your courses, they pinpoint exactly what I need at this stage. Thanks so much! But: I miss fingering annotations very, very much. E.g. in this excercise it took me a quarter of an hour (at 6:51) to find out that 3 on the B flat in the second bar and 2 on the F (the last note) beautifully gave me the thumb (1) on the G in the 3. bar. And so on, which opened up the eternity of the excercise upwards. I would have saved much time if you had given me that cue in the first place. (This also goes for the left hand, of course.) I am considering paying for your courses, as i like them very much. Will the paid lessons give the fingering annotations?
Sad fact: I'm an ordinary teenager, I shoot good music content, or rather I play the piano. but no one is watching me, God bless those who have read this.)
Hi Jonny, thank you for your educational effort! Can you please make a video or share with us recommended warm up exercises before we start hitting those notes on the piano? Thank you
Hi Jonnie, I'm a subscriber to your website, but also a beginner. I have a question about G dominant demished scale. Why a full step from B is C sharp and not just C? And for the same token, why is it half step from E to F? Perhaps a silly question, but I don't get it...

Problem here is that no one on youtube makes videos like this for MINOR II-V-I.... And perhaps thats the gatekeep in effect.
true
Could you elaborate please?
in my opinion, you really are the best piano teacher that I know on youtube
jonny is the 🐐
By far
Genuinely agree
Agree
agree

One of best and most clearly piano tutorials ever !! Thank you very much !!!
I'm not a beginner, (keys, sax, flute) and even though i might know most of this, it's always smart to review. You have such a wonderful vibe about you. You are such a great teacher. I love your channel.
Certainly an eye-opener for me. Thanks so much!

MAN!!!!! ❤ I LOVE YOU Understanding Jazz this is the missing thing i need to know to play Jazz supreme bro supreme teaching thank you
Thank you so much!
Wow why did they never teach me this in music school lmao thank you thank you
Thank you!
Thank you, I will practice it more. I just want to ask you, if you truly know, how jazzmans do it, that they hear all the chords immediately. I can recognize triad like 1 4 5 or sometimes tonic on 6 and the other chords I just guess. Is it about psyche or emotional ease?
Chapo ba Jonny,. this is Haitian Creole that's mean I bow down. You are very helpful to the world. Thanks for every tips and secrets. God Bless you.
Don’t forget to SWING! Double counting in your head gets the feeling going…..
Great tutorial as ever! As a "classical intermediate/confused jazz beginner" could you explain how/why you chose the G dominant diminished scale?
On a G dominant chord, there are 4 notes: G, B, D, and F. However, you can add more notes that give it more evolved and interesting qualities. These extra notes are called extensions, and as it turns out, the diminished scale has many extensions that happen to sound good on dominant chords.
The dominant diminished scale usually works on dominant seventh chords, aka the fifth of a major scale or the seventh of a minor scale.
Using the altered scale would even give you the #5 but this scale sounds interesting, too.
But why did he choose it for G and not for say C or D? @@EvanWiederandersMusic
@@CrowCloudsG diminished is used for G7, C diminished is used for C7, etc.
I love thiss kind of tutorials more 🙏 tutorial plsss ❤️ i love your style.. God bless you moreee abundantly . You're my inspiration to play 🎹 🙏👏
Can someone explain to me why he goes tediously through scales just up and down and at the end he makes very different unrelated improvisation. What has happened here ?
Basically he picked notes on the scale and used the exercise to find ways to connect the melodies together to give the improv more direction
Hi Jonny. I am very interested in your courses but I do not understand English, is it possible to follow your classes with audio in Spanish?
Si'mple practice way!
Thank you very much.
i take this for my' diminish' lesson.
This is an awesome lesson, Jonny! Thank you! I was not familiar with the dominant diminished scale. It's great to be able to learn new stuff at the piano all the time.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!
I am so thankfull for all your videos, you are a fabulous teacher. Here from Argentina gracias!!!

How do you know which kind of scale to use for different chord progressions?
Teacher john i've a complaint
Therefore how can i practice scales?
Good morning, Thanks🙏

Looks like Jonny "secretly" visited the Phrygian , Lydian and Locrian modes in this improvisation. Great lesson!
hi Mellot i am ,i've a trouble with improvisation so Can i have some advice
How many Guitarist are secretly watch these vids??
Great lesson! Love that diminished scale. Really perks up the ears.
You are the Bob Ross of piano instruction...❤
It’s awesome!
Thank you!
Amazing 👏👏👏, you look like Lord Voldemort (
Ralph Fiennes ) 😂😂😂😂
I finally understood that missing link of diminished, thank you very much. Suscribed
Really great stuff for practice Jonny! I love it!

What I can practice I just know notes little bit keys and what portable piano inget
I'm struggling to get a nice sound out of the diminished dominant scale, its just sounding a bit janky, any suggestions you have that might fix this?
This is a great resource sir and thanks for sharing this. But I need help with the fingerings for this exercises. Thanks
thank you!
Great lesson !
It's like you are breaking out of a diminished scale into the normal dominant scale.
I enjoyed this lesson. It's finally starting to sink and make sense. Thanks so much Jonny!

Dude I have an adult student who wants to learn jazz and you saved my life.

I love Blues, but I just cannot see the appeal of Jazz.
Something must have drawn you here.
Hi Jonny, thank you for your educational effort! Can you please make a video or share with us recommended warm up exercises before we start hitting those notes on the piano? Thank you
Thank you Jonny! Fun excercise to practice! Gonna get those notes soinding great soon! Love playing with backing track!

Im also a beginner and i know it's a year late, but think of steps as litteral keys. So a half step would be one key and a whole step would be 2 keys.
