Thank you Jonny. These multi level lessons help me to figure out what level I'm at and what I need for the next level.
Awesome thank you for making it easy to understand!!!
i love you Jonny!!!
thank you Mr.Jonny youre a great music teacher, your fan from Philippines💟👍
I have to laugh. For - literally - years I have been trying to figure out the 'rules' of chord substitution. This vid HAS to be the simplest, the clearest, the absolutely most useful explanation. Too many lessons tell you which chords you can use but never clearly explain why, or how to work it out for yourself. Jonny, my man, this is absolute gold. Thank you so much.
Totally agree. Thank you for saying these, which represents what in my mind. Sory, my english very2 poor
🙏🙏🙏
YEAH. I'm kinda blown away. This lesson is pretty AMAZING 🤯
This is really good, I agree, but having analysed this kind of teaching for years, this is still not sufficient knowledge to go and start reharmonising any and every song. It's even trickier again. You MUST voice your chords correctly and the chords MUST play happy with your melody note, but even with all this, there is no guarantee that the song is going to sound correct because the song flavour itself has to relate well with the chords, ie it shouldn't sound forced the chords should flow together naturally and complement the actual overall song. There is much more to this subject believe me, I have been scratching my head with this for years and watched many many teachers on the subject. Remember Johnny has used twinkle little star for a reason! He didn't just pick any random song to demo this because it wouldn't work with any song, the principles would guide you certainly but this tutorial itself is unfortunately not enough. You need to listen to other pro players and transcribe their work and then analyse why their chords work.
100% agree with you 💯
@@pgtips4240 Absolutely correct. But your words are for musician/expert at another level. For beginner like us and others, i think this lesson is more than just enough. Sorry, and thank you 💜💜💜
This is literally my first time writing a comment for a keyboard tutorial. This was so EASYYYYY to grasp
I never thought these complex chords and progressions can be specified so simply. You're a really good teacher.
You must be in Gold Pantheon of humanity teachers.
Your lessons are priceless.
To say thank you means to say nothing.
My dad was a music teacher, choir director, and church organist. I've been a musician for over 40 years. This is the clearest music lesson I have ever had. So great!
literally haha
That 2-5-1 with the b9 in the dominant chord is so satisfying, I never realized. It gives it like a chromatic walk-down feel, making you want it to resolve even more
What a teacher! Why hasn't anyone else been able to teach chord substitution with the clarity Jonny has done. This is an absolute gem of a lesson. Awesome. Thank you
just know there are 42 levels of chord substitution above that
Pip Morgan Yes, I totally agree. And teaches so gently to a pace I can understand....
@@cicik57One chord substitution method he didn't mention is borrowed notes. In C major for instance, G# may be "borrowed" from C minor to turn Em7 into E7, which sounds gorgeous.
It's so much easier to see this on a piano than a guitar, as a guitarist I find these videos helpful to absorb these concepts on apply them to my instrument, so thanks Johnny 👍
same
I would love to. I really want to learn the guitar to that professional level. Especially going through the same process listed. I need help!🤦🏿♂️
Same here man!! Took the words right out of my mouth! TH-cam is such a powerful tool once we weed out the nonsense lol
AGREED! Guitar player here as well, SOO much easier to see on piano!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I’ll definitely be applying this to my guitar playing!
Been playing for years (self taught, play by ear), and this is prolly the most valuable lesson I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
Please sir can u coach someone from beginner.......its a request
@@ugochianochiam5675 I don’t teach - maybe you should sign up for one of Jonny’s classes?
@@carlbaumeister3439 k but how can i sign up cos it seems there's no link here
@@ugochianochiam5675 I think there’s one in the information section of the video.
I TOO AM 15 YEARS OLD SELF TAUGHT, PLAY BY EAR, AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING THE PIANO FOR YEARS, AND FOR YEARS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO SUCH AS THIS ONE. LOL😤😤🤦♀🤦♀🤣🤣
Jonny is beyond amazing. His demeanor has always made me feel that he's talking directly to me. This video is just an example of how he so clearly communicates his lessons. If you haven't already, subscribe! Not a better online teacher anywhere!
By far the best Music tutor in TH-cam and this comes from a musician who played guitar for atleast 13 years and playing piano for last 4 years and I have been watching videos of Rick Beato and what not and yet none were gracious to let the knowledge out so easily and in such simplified manner. I dont say that all other tutors in youtube do not know the concept but they are not willing to teach these basic rules without charging you money.
I have spent so damn long being mystified, confused, and inspired by people using chord substitutions like this… and you’ve finally made it so simple. Chord families. Had no idea. Thank you for the perfect video and breakdown I didn’t even realize I needed!
Omg! Sixty years and no one ever explained these reharm possibilities to me!! Thank you so much - great tip on level five- working backwards from destination chord - you’re a great teacher, Johnny
Brilliant - clearly explained by gradually building up the concepts; thank you for clearing the fog for this guitarist trying to learn more about harmony!
This is amazing! I'd call it an arrangement class where substitute chords are worked into the songs construction for a professional sounding play. So well presented in phases Johnny! All those years of piano lessons reading sheet music note for note and that was the end of it. This really takes song play to a new personal expression level. In no time! Thank you so much!
Best explanation I’ve ever seen to fattening up a sound using substitution in the progression. Wow. I love how slowly and logically you explained this. I’m an intermediate player but with study and practice could definitely see myself using up to that level 5. So glad TH-cam recommended me this video, definitely subscribed now.
Always wondered how to transform easy chords into something that sounds better, well explained great tutorial!
Incredibly easy to understand and to apply. Thank you Jonny for all you share with us 👍🎹
Excellent Jonny! One of the very few piano tutorials where I have learned something, thanks to your brilliant, well prepared delivery.
What a beautiful and clear way to teach! Everything stands out so simply! THANK YOU, JONNY!
Mind officially blown. Wow. Getting back to piano after 50 years and this is way better than just playing sheet music like I did as a kid. Thank you. You bet I subscribed!
This lesson is INSANELY good! It's simply one of the most condensed lessons I've ever seen regarding substitution and reharmonization. Thx a lot!
Such clear teaching. Well structured and transparent. I love that absolutely everything he is doing he is explaining.
Simply explaining the rules of chord extensions at level 4 is so unbelievably helpful. Thank you
I've been playing for decades, but have never seen this explained, although I have unknowingly used some of these ideas. I've always found Manilow interesting because of the crazy and difficult chord progressions he uses, and I think some of this might be at work in his songs.
This lesson was really cool. I've understood concepts like Secondary Dominants, Triad Extensions, and the 2-5-1 Sequence for a while now, but the way you explained everything makes it seem so simple and straightforward. Great video!
I agree. Jonny is doing a great job simplifying things.
These are probably the simplest, clearest, best explanations for piano chords I've come across on the internet. Great job!
Absolutely amazing! I'm happy to see this video!🙏 Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piano playing! Wish you success always ❤️🎹
Amazingly clear reduction of what's typically inscrutable. Thank you, ty, ty.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I play piano, guitar, and bass guitar alternating for my high school’s chapel a few times every week, and I always wondered how my teacher made his chords sound so crunchy. Thank you for this! I’m feeling more prepared than ever to tackle the music next year! :)
This is my first video I’ve seen of yours, and it was explained so concisely and neatly I’ve been practicing for a couple days and my parents say they can see an improvement in me! You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! :D
Loved it! I’m a guitarist that has used substitutions for years, but was unaware of these five distinctly named categories of specifics to change. I have a great love of chords. This new perspective will give me a lot of new tools for my song writing and arranging. Thanks!
One of the best tutorials on the internet! Thank you.
I have always been a guitarist and recently began trying to transfer what I knew on guitar, to piano. So hard! You pianists are brilliant! Thankyou so much for speaking in chords, it helps. You speaka my language
I cannot fully express how critical this video was to pushing my understanding of chord substitutions!!! I have been going over this topic with my guitar teacher recently. But this video helped it to all CLICK! Profound gratitude from your newest subscriber. Thank you! Thank you!
Man you're such a great teacher . I suddenly don't feel so overwhelmed. Can't wait to join your course .Bless
I've always wandered how and when to apply chord extentions. Never had it explained so clearly. Also love the way you explained dominant 7 chords. I aways tied it to circle of fifths, but it seems there's a simpler way to explain them to someone as well!
Sorry but where does he explain that? I seemed to have missed but I'm eager to learn more about it.
Jesus, Jonny! Where have you been all my life?! You are the bestest of the best piano tutor I have ever seen. You make everything seem so effortless and interesting. And your communication skill is top-notch.....felt like you were talking directly to me. God bless you man.
I have a music degree and this has made playing keys (not my main instrument) so much easier. Thank you for using the technical terminology. Best video I’ve watched on this. I will definitely look into your courses.
There is simply no better teacher than you Jonny. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you so much.
Very helpful indeed.
Wonderful Stuff Jonny!!!!
Wow, this is one of the best videos. Simple and straightforward with clear explanations.
Thanks Jonny.
I really enjoyed this. It opens up all the things that could be done on songs, especially with counter melodies within the chords. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks a lot Jhonny!
You have displayed the most complex chords I've been trying to understand for years in the most easiest way I could ever imagine... You are an extraordinary teacher!!!
Hi Jonny. That was such an important video to help us get over the plateau that we get stuck on to make our sound more interesting. Great. Thank you so much.
I'm a guitar player, but this is so essential. Every harmony instrument should.. must learn and master this. Thanks Jonny, you are so kind to share this. May God bless you more.🙏🏽😇
You are now teaching true substance! This is a real contribution to people who truly want to learn. An absolute gift!
Wow, this is helpful.
This video alone provides the answers to improve my piano skills. You conveyed the concepts so vividly!
OMG.. terrific! each stage variant ads a feel. indescribable! Thanks for opening my eyes ears and heart!
I was wondering why everything from Level 2 upward sounded like Christmas... And then I realised why, and tried making my own (Level 1) version of Jingle Bells. I'd consider myself a piano beginner but with this explanation it was so easy to make something that sounds beautiful and complex and just a little bit jazzy!
Thank you Jonny, this is amazing, you just opened my mind to the possibilities of music,.... I thought you might enjoy this quote...
"When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups".
John Coltrane
My mind is Blown ... i never thought complex chords/topics could be as simple as these 😲😲 ... this is pure gold. Thank you Jonny
Just amazing! Clear, thorough and effective! This video worth 10 years in harmony lessons
If I had you as a teacher when I was a lttle girl I would have never given up piano❤️
Same here
Can you start again by any chance?
You can start to play again, you'll already know mamy things from the beggining
You know what? I gave up music when I was a child, but I honestly accept that most of the children want to run outside and play with friends rather than learn boring stuff like solfege 😜 Now in my late 40s I've chosen an instrument and started doing things I thought I'd never do in my life (like watching a video about chords)😂
Very good video - I’m a guitar player but have always loved listening to keyboard/piano players for ideas and inspiration. I was listening to a George Shearing CD the other day and he plays some really cool subs and modulations. You don’t often hear his name mentioned re jazz piano but he’s a great musician.
Nice work 👍🏻
George Shearing is better known (by pianists and keyboard players) for the "block chords" technique than for his actual playing, unfortunately...
Dayum, years of music school boiled down to a 17 minute video. 😅 Thanks Jonny, you rock 😊😊😊
Jonny, your numeric formulas and theory techniques take the scary confusion out of chord conversions. Astounding ‼️ thanks for sharing your wisdom. 😃
This is an incredible video! So many useful concepts packed inside here. And it was really neat to hear the differences between the various ideas.
i hate to be redundant ova hea but great lesson ! You trimmed all the fat off them 5 levels and demystified them concisely!
This is a super bonus. And this video is truly meant to help. Whenever you upload such videos to help others, being selfless, God will multiply your blessings. You know how to do it to just get te views or how to fake it. But You intentionally uploaded this way to bless others. I pray that God multiply your blessings whenever these type of videos are uploaded. Trust me God will reward you more than you expected. God bless you teacher.
One of the best introductions to reharmonisation I've come across.
Wow! Jonny, after many years of watching and hearing piano players, finally somebody has unveiled the mystery of chords substitutions for me. I cannot wait to buy my membership to access your classes. Well done!
Wonderful
Thanks Johnny you are gifted God bless you always:::give us some bosanova and a calypso music ( pan in A minor)
i needed this you have opened up the gate ...cannot thank you more...
Thanks Jonny. I've been playing the guitar for 50 years and I learned a LOT from your video. Solid gold
Dude... You just taught me in 3 minutes more about chord substitution and improvising on structure than I learned over 4 years getting a bachelor's degree in music from a college...
I love it. I’ve been following from twitter for over a year I love how do you brake down the lesson in one minute
This man created the most useful video of 2022. I've needed this for years and I finally have it! Thank you Jonny!
You are such a great teacher. Seriously, these technique names are you making these up or are they listed somewhere?
I subscribed to this chanel because of this lesson..so informative thank you
it is a general concept of music theory. Actually it comes from the function theory, it is the popular version of substitution of functions. But focus on reharmomizing, not substituting. Beware of catchy complicated names. But D7 is. not sec. dominant of G, but just the dominant . It is the secondary dom. IN c major
That's beginner ?
I need the one or two before beginner.
OMG this is exactly what I am searching for all these years. So much information packed into this video!!!
This is really "nutrient dense" content. For an intro into some basic concepts into harmonizing chords, there's no filler, just all solid theory and real applications. A beginner or someone like myself who is familiar with some of these ideas but unsure how to use them, this fifteen minute video provides hours of practice and study opportunities that can be quickly be put to use in creative ways. Thanks man, really great stuff.
Finally!! I've been looking for a clear video on this for years. Thank you! Will likely buy your courses now.
This was such an incredible glimpse of what's harmonicly possible ❤️. I will definitely check out what you have to offer. Thank you!!
Great lesson! Easy to comprehend, yet very effective. Thanks for sharing!
Never seen this explained with so much clarity. Thanks man!
Never in my life have I ever come across such rich yet clear explanation of chords.
One of the best videos I've seen so far! Thank you so much, Jonny
What a fantastic teacher you are! Thanks you so much !
Man! I've never seen anyone explain chord substitution like this. A big wowwww😍
Really like the way you went from the simplest to most complex substitutions. Really helpful thanks!
Thank you for this video Mr. Jonny!
As a guitarist this helped me understand a lot more into the nature of chords and
how they and the family of chords can be used as you taught in this video! Thank you and God bless you!
You are Amazing, Johny.. !!
Thanks and God Bless You.
Thanks for this, I echo so many of the comments here. Truly one of the clearest vids on chord substitutions I've come across.
Loved this lesson.thank you Jonny❤
This is the best video I have ever found on chord substitutions, thank you so much
A great teacher breaks up complex concepts for everyone to understand, that is Jonny!
So important info here! Thanks man! I was looking for years this imp info
Love u Jonny! Been a life searching for this kind of approach of teaching! More power to you! 🙏
SO much value packed into a single lesson. Fantastic!
Amazing clarity of the explanation ! Thanks a lot . It is the first Time i understand so clearly chord substitution ! You changed my Life here !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing! Thank you so much!
I've been playing jazz piano for almost a year now, and I always wondered how these amazing pianists come up with these beautiful chords, now i just need a bit of practicing😂
An absolutely excellent lesson on chord substitutions. Even though I am a guitarist, this was fantastic. Thank you
Just amazing, thanks Jonny!
Hey Jonny! I'm Agus, from Argentina. I'm studying composition, arrangements and music production at college, not in the first year but in introductory year because I don't have a basic knowledge. I'm struggling with music theory and you can't imagine how this video helped me. Thank you so much, you are awesome
I'm just impressed by your teaching skills at this point.
