"Doesn't that sound amazing? And it's actually not that hard to play" I've been binge watching these videos and I think I've now heard this phrase, literally, at least 1000 times :D

@jonharvey2526 Год назад

Jonny has a way of making the complicated really simple. But ya, a new tagline may confuse me.

@switch1e Год назад

I love the way he calls chords pretty. It makes me so happy for some reason 😂

@roelbest6261 Год назад

LOL there were alot of times in this vid when he used 'actually not that hard to play' while i thought WTF dude this hard! XD

@canefan17 Год назад

It’s really not that complicated. Just practice really slow and you’ll get there quicker.

@charlenemisuraca3473 Год назад

That's because he's an encourager. What if he kept saying this is really hard you'll never get it. Lol.

@Nagroddy 2 года назад

Wow! I have done all these for a few decades but let me tell you all, it took me many jazz transcriptions and several years of lessons to get what this compact, straight to the point video does to help you sound "legit" stylistically. I wish RU-vid had been around when I was learning to play! If any aspiring pianist were to play these techniques in all 12 keys, minor and major (so 24 keys total) your playing would immediately be elevated. This vid is what I would strongly suggest to any decent classical musician who is interested in playing jazz. Great video!

@rogerioesposito2170 2 года назад

I follow up all your quick tips and lessons. That one is quite useful to settle down the techniques you taught somewhere else at PWJ. My goal is to be able to improv for hours only on chord progressions, without "wasting" any song of my list. Lounges, piano-bars, pubs... I'm studying hard, master. Proud of being a PWJ student. Keep in touch, I would like to talk to you live someday. Thanks for the lesson. All the best,

Très bons conseils, tout est expliqué de façon très progressive, en plus on peut visualiser les notes sur le clavier supérieur ! Dommage que Jonny et RU-vid n'existaient pas quand j'avais 14 ans (en 1980!) j'aurais appris tout cela il y a longtemps! ! Continue Jonny!

@allhailthelicc7759 2 года назад

Great video! One thing is I think you would call the D and G chords #5#9 or just alt because you’re taking out that natural 5

@mrdjangofreeman5560 Год назад

An "obvious detail", to say so, for beginners trying to set and run his own backing track on ireal, lol: b13 or #5 are the same alteration. In other words, D7 b13 #9 and D7 #9 #5 are the same.

@grahamde 2 года назад

It's interesting that you can play the chords in inversions that don't require as much hand movement, but they don't sound nearly as interesting. Have to work on those transitions, I guess!

@Jack-fs2im 2 года назад

cool v coool

@humblemai2211 2 года назад

Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano...thanks

@siceloshabangu4698 2 года назад

hey Jonny sorry for being off track, but please can you make a tutorial on how to play Regina Belle's song " Dream in color", I've tried using my ear it but I get stuck along the way, I can sort of hear that they are using a 6th diminished scale to construct the chord progression, I've searched everywhere for tutorials nothing...🙏

@lemons107 Год назад

3:51 Johnny says that adding a 7th note to your 5 chord makes it dominant. A 5 chord is by definition the dominant chord, with or without the 7th added. Just thought I would point that out.

@ortegaman 2 года назад

Is there a major turn around progression or something out of minor scale?

@sonarvord 11 месяцев назад

When is it best to go open with the left as you did in the int/adv sections?

@schnuckiputzi9556 2 года назад

Please name the program that plays drums and double bass, thank you

@mem1gui 2 года назад

I just realized that in the standard rootless voicings, the dominant #9b13 is just the tritone substitution...doh! No wonder it shows up all the time in chord charts.

@FrosteMelon Год назад

[Question] So it's a 1-6-2-5 minor progression. He does not explain why he is playing a minor diminished 6th? Normally that's a standard major chord?!

@studiosys Год назад

All gòod stuff thank you Jonny , but im sure a lot of us feel VERY " deflated ": one minute you telling us where the 6 and 9 are THEN next minute your explaining how a D dom b9 b13 is derived !! Pffts ,, but we can pick up the " crumbs " as we go ,,, ,,, but all appreciated , thank you😊😊

@woeye3251 2 года назад

Sorry for asking most likely a stupid question, but I am still new to all this. Why is it A and not Ab when playing the Cm6/9 in the Eb-Major / C-Minor key? So in other words if playing in the key of C-Minor and reading "Cm6" I think would play C-Eb-Ab. Can please someone explain what I am missing here?

@mikekimpton5890 2 года назад

Jazz players usually think Dorian mode (natural 6) over minor chords vs Aelion mode (flat 6). Dorian is built off the 2nd tone of the standard Major scale and is the ii m7 in a Major 2-5-1 but is also generally used as the i m7 (or i m69 or whichever color is used) in a minor blues turnaround. The A creates more tension against the Cm and resists resolution (unlike the Ab that wants to resolve down to G). Modal theory and modal interchange are the backbone of the "Jazz" approach and explains much (if not all) of the choices players make when "altering" their chord voicings/extensions. Can be a very convoluted and complex subject but... nothing comes easy unfortunately 🤣. I hope that helps a little??

@markbra Год назад

A is coming from the C melodic minor scale

@andreperras4149 Год назад

"It'll sound amazing if u grab a D at the bottom" 😭 great video man it helps!!

@Flying-Roro Год назад

Can someone explain to me why there is a 6 chord and not a 6? Is this a melodic minor turnaround?

@ahoneyman Год назад

Yes, it is a chord progression based on the melodic minor scale. You can think of the 2 and 6 chords as half diminished chords or altered dominant chords.
