Lovely video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off guide for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 finally got excellent results with it.

@ericswolgaard1808 4 года назад

As a guitarist, I find these exercises extremely valuable as an ear-expanding and technique building experience- Thank You!

Take up Piano bro :D Guitar is my first love but I took up Piano too and it makes sense

@ayodeleajulo115 4 года назад

I've never had an opportunity to learn the piano formally, talk least of playing jazz music. Only teaching myself with all the limitations. Thanks for finding you online.

@jenniferbrowning929 4 года назад

Thanks Johnny May! You’re a great piano teacher! I have a minor in piano and I learned more in and felt more accomplished after two videos with you than i did in college.

@JadaonPiano 4 года назад

This opening sounded like the start of a great jingle! What a unique way to teach scales and modes!

@Hallixon 4 года назад

This is amazing! I'm just going into jazz piano and this is what I've been looking for. Thanks.

@parkimedes 4 года назад

I REALLY enjoyed hearing a watching the improvisation at 2:00, and seeing the keys light up. I want a whole video with a song played like this.

@earlfitzsimmonds6795 4 года назад

Thanks Jonny!These are great tools.In all my years of playing this approach is revolutionary!Soloing has always been my weakest area so when I listen to the jazz greats I always wonder what did they practice to be so great and what really is the "language of jazz".

@Uchawibeatz 4 года назад

This is amazing. Jazz piano has always been intimidating to me but with this exercise I will be able to Finally practice my scales

@jojotanify 4 года назад

This is excellent. I've been trying to learn how to improvise but never found the right way to start. U made it sound so simple. Thanks a lot for this :)

@skimanization 4 года назад

Hey man, this is very interesting, it makes learning jazz and scales more fun. I've never been taught to practise scales this way. I'm looking forward to joining you in all your courses. Thanks.

@1950francesca Год назад

Amazing! So much learning -- scales, modes, keys, chord progression, rhythm -- all combined into one exercise. One of the best jazz piano lessons on RU-vid (and I've watched many)! Thank you so much!

@noborikoon 3 года назад

@AnthonyPayton251 4 года назад

Great lesson. I live for the craft. I haven't found a lot of videos like this on the Tube. Been asking about modes for years and could never get a straight answer and you explained it 10 seconds.

@victoregorov3892 Год назад

@darrinsiberia 3 года назад

If I was in charge of a college piano department. I would make learning all of Piano w Jonny exercises required material whether the student was jazz or classical.

@LoveGuitar63277 4 года назад

Yep! Guitar is super heavy on modes, too. But im trying to teach myself keys so i really appreciate your teaching.

@MickCorgi 4 года назад

Great lesson! I’m just a novice. But this exercise is jazz version Hanon that you can practice on without looking at the sheet or even keyboard.

@MyPianoRecoder0909 3 года назад

Since I learned piano for about a year as a child 40 years ago I always have lived with piano, I tried a lot of famous pieces of composers from the many sonatas up to Hungarian Rhapsody of Franz Liszt by myself. but now feel that only left some arpeggios, some chords like triads,diminished and major,minor scales to me. 20 years ago I tried Jazz piano. but from the first page there're only tons of stacked chords and confusing scales, so I gave up. After I meet your channel , I begin to have some hope that I can learn and play jazz music. Jonny , Thanks for sharing your great talent ! I won't give up this time :D

@DustinBeckMusic 4 года назад

So helpful. I have been listening to you on Spotify as well! Sounds great!

@suga4all 4 года назад

What a great way to practice modes. It is very musical already and great for me as a beginner. Thanks for sharing! I also like the idea of the "chromatic connector" :D

@amrum01 4 года назад

This is a great exercise. I use it to get more comfortable in the key my current song is in. After playing it 10 minutes I get into a kind of a flow, which makes my playing and improvising much more fluent. Highly recommended!

@familysounds 4 года назад

Never dull... Tx

@stryaterra 4 года назад

You explained modes better than any of the resources I had available to me (my directors, other music instructors, and tutorial books) in the first 4 minutes . To be honest, I still had no idea what the modes really were until now. I'm already nearly 10 years into music and I started trying to learn Jazz my 2nd year in.

@Jon-Mark_W 4 года назад

When you improvised at 1:58 that was awesome! You do what George Gershwin did. Played like you have three hands! That’s awesome! I want to master that!

@alienusbarbarus4532 3 года назад

@nytronix8572 4 года назад

Great work...tnks...

@coajrmusic 4 года назад

Jonny, an element of understanding modes, thus teaching modes, is the W/H step pattern progression as you move through the modes, giving each mode its unique flavor. As soon as I understood that, I had a foundation for further understanding the application..so it may be helpful to others...

@deedieducati5249 4 года назад

I'm self taught by ear and have been playing for decades that way. NOBODY has ever taught me THIS way to practice, or explained "modes" like you just did! MUCH LESS intimidating than I once thought, so thank you!

This sounds like good prep for Fly Me to the Moon in Piano With Jonny! :)

@PIANOSTYLE100 4 года назад

Fly me to the moon is one of my favorite songs. A year ago I did a Chord Melody guitar tutorial on it.. I am presently working on another video also in guitar. It's not ready yet.

@gerardocardenas6591 3 года назад

I think you do fantastic work creating and sharing those smart exercises trying to systematize the teaching of something as hard to systematize as jazz. Congratulations!

COVID-19 is evil, but at least it is like my mom telling me when I was 8 to go to my room. Now that I'm stuck at home, I'm actually practicing piano. This video, out of the dozens I have watched, is my favorite. Love the way you teach Jonny! Thank you

Hi :) could you make video about harmonic Major cdefg a-flat b and his modes? :) I mean modal progressions,phrasing,motive development,improvisations etc :)

@eydiguttason1961 2 года назад

You're the best tutorialler ever

@atanuduttamusicclassesadmc4626 4 года назад

Great

@kwixotic 4 года назад

The saxophone player Phil Woods has a similar exercise where you go up scales the traditional way but in going down you skip notes which would be like major or minor thirds and each time progress up one note from the bottom in going up again.

@jojotanify 4 года назад

Hey, what were the keys in the left hand from the bit in the very beginning?

@titusjohn5207 4 года назад

Good

@brianpenttila5511 2 года назад

I think you should say that you need a paid membership for the sheet music. The video says you can "find it" below, but you don't provide it for free. A free example in C would complement the video and still preserve the market for your smart sheets.

@ettorehelton4022 4 года назад

Hi Jonny..How can I change tone in another key, using the circle of fifths? thank you..

@cselenaproject4116 3 года назад

This is really FUN ❤️ curious what happens when we start backwards (descending)- is it going to be the same progression on the left? I really enjoyed this. Thank you so much!

@calebraysilcott9471 Год назад

Yes it would be. Though you probably figured that out already. 😊

@popupproducer 4 года назад

Hey Jonny, do you have any tips for finger movement doing this exercise in other keys? It’s pretty straight forward in C, but if there is some basic guideline we should follow for say, F and it’s modes, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
