Overwhelmed three years ago, the spark had died. Your videos may have rekindled the flame . I understand the terminology and the tutor impresses with encouraging methods. An exceptional tutor.
Enjoyable instruction in jazz piano, thank you.
Regards Reg
Thank you Jonny, I love your tutorials and we learn a lot because you explain very well and I think it's within reach of many people, thank you.
I love this arrangement!!! Thank you, Jonny, for showing us how to play it the way you do!!!
I don't think Johnny is human his system for learning is close to perfect amazing which planet are you from Johnny? One Stop piano shop I feel sorry for anyone that hasn't found his website
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson! I have worked on your gorgeous/really interesting version of this song for about two months now as a surprise for my mom, and I cannot wait to play for her; it will make her really happy. :) I have always loved this Sinatra standard, so nice that I can enjoying playing it now. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
That's wonderful!
I appreciate you saying that I was doing a great job when all I was doing was lying down hoping to get inspired to try and keep playing.
To fully appreciate this song you need to see the clip from the movie SWING TIME. It will make the song so much more memorable.
How generous of you. Thank you so much. Tons of usable information/technique❤️
Thanks for this Jonny! You're the Best.
Great lesson. I love the shell tones idea.
Thanks, Jonny. I have so much to practice here.
Beautiful you always know how to give ur best. Thank you
The arrangement taught in the video sounds great but the background version is marvelous.
Great tutorial on a great song. Thank you. I have a better understanding on how to approach Jazz Standards and use shell voicings.
Can’t wait to try this approach on 2 more of my favorites. The Nearness of You and The Very Thought of You.
Thanks for sharing some tips to this beautiful song to us. Stay safe everyone.
This is easy to understand ❤❤❤
Beautiful!!!
I like this quick tip on harmonizing the melody. It's the type of helpful hint I need for my music composition classes and pieces. The 7th chord is especially useful to me also for further study, mastery and compositional form. I'll review my lesson again. Keep emphasizing that tip. I'm catching on in my composition work and form.
Great lesson. Thanks Jonny.
Super stuff, thanks so much
Maestro! Merci Jonny👌
Magnifique ballade et superbement expliquée pour tenter de " briller " un soir au hasard d'une rencontre avec un piano ...Thank's Jonny for your tutorial , clear and precious ! ...for beguiner's ....Thank you ,thank you !!!
Johnny you're the best man!
Muchas gracias por tu paciente enseñanza. Felicidades
I liked this so much that I borrowed it for a video on my channel (I included a link to this lesson in the description). Thanks for the great instruction! I think I'm slowly getting better. 🙂
Amazing thanks
Jonny you are the best
Great. I want to play it.
Fantastic!
Such a talented virtuoso of the piano, if I could learn just a fraction of his Knowledge for theory I’d be a happy man. Keep up the tutorials they’re indispensable!!
Terrific!
Now can you do a tutorial like this for Misty please?
Thank you so much for this!!!@!
Nice love it Thanks
Bellissimo, grazie.
Thank you so much
Johnny you are the best! And if it would be possible you would be MY personal piano teacher!
thanks .... love the "you're doing a good job thing, it makes me feel like a kid lol"
Johnny keeps telling me I'm doing a good job when I play the wrong notes.
I guess I must be a Jazz genius.
I like to keep a pencil around so that if one of my mistakes happens to sound good, I can make a note of it. After I've made several of them, I give myself an arranging credit. 👍
Hello Johnny, how lovely
Excelente.
Thanks Jonny for this. I'm a guitarist but I have so much trouble finding the best chord changes to this jazz standard.
Jonny. I continue to jump around from mastering something to play to practicing fundamental technique. I am working away on this, and slowed down the speed to see the chords and it dawned on me..why not just start by playing the scale of chords in E flat major a few times if the chords in the tune are mostly diatonic. Also I like the pneumonic of BEAD and beadgcf to see circle patterns that can then be seen as 3, 6, 2, 5, 1. Those two tips are helping me and might be useful to other students. Thanks for creating your wonderful site.
Very nice smart sheet. Full treatment - a course in itself. Geat selection for analysis. How bout Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments?"
好喜欢你的声音，听着听着就睡着了。
I liKe you mr jonny, you improve my piano sit
Greetings Jonny, it's a super aproach to jazz blues. Because E flat isn't easy to follow so quicly, if possible show us the chords progression written one by one Eb-G-Bb-D....Thanks a lot.
Very Cool Men!!! You like Bill Evans! Thanks a Lot!!!
nice song
Thank you!
It's a very interesting video and I am practicing this song now especially the left hand, I only have a question
Why Eb major ?
It's originally written in F major
I like your style very much and learned to play piano more from your lessons. “The way you look tonight” is my favorite song, but I didn’t learn much because you showed this song in the key of E flat, a key I have limited familiarity. So, it’s hard to follow. I would learn more if the lesson is in key of C.
Its a great challenge tho. I like to see it that way 😅
It was written in F major originally
Personally I would have put it in a 6 time, and made more of a swinging feel, and yet still had a classic vibe to it.
But not bad. I just think that swinging 1 - 2 - rest- 456 kind of feel, suits it better. But still beautiful.
Can you please show us how you play triste.
I’m new to your channel and wish I had had this instruction 40 years ago. BTW, the first couple of times I watched you, I was trying to rub that red dot on Middle C off of my screen. LOL! Love what you do. Thanks for doing it.
❤
Hi Johnny. This is exactly the style I'm looking for. Can I buy the lead sheet so that I can sit at the piano and absorb it all? Thanks for the lesson.
George I completely understand you bro. I don’t know how to really play or read music but I will and when I do I just want to play for me when I’m down, happy ect just to make me and who ever hears it be uplifted!👍🏽
Thanks for taking the time to reply but you miss the point. I know the tune well from my 18 + years as a professional guitarist, Hammond organist & vocalist in the 60's & 70's but having recently taken up the piano I'm very interested in the style being used here. I was being lazy & also trying to offer some support for all the effort that goes into these videos. In the end I simply transcribed the arrangement from the screen and learnt a lot from it. I only play the piano at home so I'm not breaching any copyright issues of the arrangement. In case anyone is puzzled; playing jazz & pop electronic organ is very different from piano. You can just play the same notes but believe me, it doesn't sound musical. Because you have two manuals you can set them up so that you are more or less playing both hands in the same octave: very difficult to do on piano. I learnt to play the organ from my guitar knowledge. (top Manual is lead, lower manual is rhythm, bass pedals, if no bassist, same as bass guitar). I had no knowledge of piano at all.
The one thing I was able to bring to the piano is being able to read music (Still working on the bass clef), scale fingering and an extensive knowledge of chords and harmony but again the way you voice chords makes a huge difference on any keyboard or guitar and reading different arrangements by accomplished pianists is a good way to study different styles.
Note to Johnny; please keep up the good work.
is it possible to have the sheet of the piece? is it somewhere?
Hi John. The sheet is different than mine. Which one are you using for this?
I'm a beginner btw.
What or how do you play when you see Fm6/C. How is that played? Why is it like that on the music sheet?
I just can't get the concept. I never played before and need very basic and simple instructions. What would you suggest?
I'm 74 years old. Been a classical pianist all my life. When i watch your videos I can't help feeling, why weren't you my teacher when I was I was young? You're truly "to the manner born!"
Couldn't agree with you more as a classically trained pianist. Feel I've missed something wonderful in the way I've played piano all my life. The good news is I've found this site and I'm inspired at the age of 63 to put all that right and learn ' the Blues' with Johnny. Excited.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!! I married with this song!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤,👃👃👃👃👃👃
Surprised to discover that this tune has no composer. I'm sure you would have mentioned his name if there was a composer.
Salut jonny. Everything is OK ,but second part is more complicared with 6 alteratiions over the scale. Please teach us a modulation from E flat to a nearest tone like F or G. Still E flat is hard and boring because we ought to add 7th, 6th, 9th . All these sounds some bizarre to ears not familiar with advanced jazz.
Impossible to remember
В нотах в 14 , 16 и 17 тактах забыл подписать До бекар!!!
нету там До беккар.
beautiful version well done
