hi sir i am a Filipino, may hand is so smal, can you teach how to exercise our hands like mind my hands is like stone, how to exercise to make it smooth
"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
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 TH-cam 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!
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,
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.
Great video, really useful explanation of techniques that I have heard a lot but didn't know how to achieve. Having the separation between beginner techniques and intermediate ones helps me to plan a practice route in to playing these too. Thank you!
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😊😊
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 TH-cam n'existaient pas quand j'avais 14 ans (en 1980!) j'aurais appris tout cela il y a longtemps! ! Continue Jonny!
Wow. These vids are excellent. I'm not a keys player, but this is explained so well I can take these ideas to my instruments. Thanks Jonny... I'm tempted to find myself a keyboard now :) The result really does sound great. Thanks!
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...🙏
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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??

"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
Jonny has a way of making the complicated really simple. But ya, a new tagline may confuse me.
I love the way he calls chords pretty. It makes me so happy for some reason 😂
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
It’s really not that complicated. Just practice really slow and you’ll get there quicker.
That's because he's an encourager. What if he kept saying this is really hard you'll never get it. Lol.

All my life I've wanted to be known as "that guy who plays lounge jazz". Oh ya!
This is the best jazz channel, quick and to the point, with all the skills you need to hone the craft, well done.

Straightforward, clearly structured and highly enjoyable...thanks a lot for boosting my practice spirit and greetings from Berlin
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.
Wonderful, but can you play as good as "Murph and The Magictones"? Now THAT'S lounge music!
Great video, really useful explanation of techniques that I have heard a lot but didn't know how to achieve. Having the separation between beginner techniques and intermediate ones helps me to plan a practice route in to playing these too. Thank you!
This lesson is simply awesome!!!
😎👍💕from🇭🇺
Slow down that great 1-6-2-5 progression a little with those extensions and you have the structure of the Perry Mason theme. Beautiful!
You are like the James Bond of the piano!!! Nobody does it better!!!!!! Jonny, you are the best!!!!
That would be the Carly Simon, but i agree with you! He is a wonderful teacher.
This was awesome!! Thank you Jonny!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks Nathan! How you doing man?!? I miss hanging with you over at Mad T and Coke Corner.
Oh my good, Jonny you are the real jazz master and your repertoire is great!!! That's ossom bro;-)
Very systematic. Nicely done!
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😊😊

[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?!
Excelente explicación, saludos desde Aguascalientes Ags
I can't find the backing tracks, I've searched in the link you put but for some reason It's not there. Could you help me, please? 🙂
learned a lot quickly. just need some religious practicing. one question, where can I get that backing track, you used. it would certainly help me .
Wow. These vids are excellent. I'm not a keys player, but this is explained so well I can take these ideas to my instruments. Thanks Jonny... I'm tempted to find myself a keyboard now :) The result really does sound great. Thanks!
This was great! I’m a guitar player who is dabbling on the keyboard, this is soI can give a go.
"It'll sound amazing if u grab a D at the bottom" 😭 great video man it helps!!
6:44
What exactly is a “jazz lounge”? Where can I find one?
Very cool explanation! Thanks a lot
wow you are a great teacher Jonny thanks man
Wonderful as usual, incredibly useful🥰
This is an amazing video. deserves so much more likes
I don’t get it a bit if you are playing in c minor then why the 6th is A and not A flat?
Enjoyed it a lot. I want to take your class.
Thank you. So well explained and demonstrated. 👍
When is it best to go open with the left as you did in the int/adv sections?
Great channel
Thank you!
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...🙏
Can someone explain to me why there is a 6 chord and not a 6? Is this a melodic minor turnaround?
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.
Your lessons are amazing. You've instantly improved my playing. I don't sound like a noob after this video. I need to stop being a freeloader :).
thank you sir.............
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.
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
Very good ,Jonny,loved It...many thanks😅
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!
Thanks. You’ve explained that beautifully
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.
I don’t always comment, but when I do, it’s to tell you that daaaamn that was some nice teaching !!
Thank you very much !
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano...thanks
I play classical and I am working on contemporary music. I don't want to play jazz, but I like your style and some of your exercises.
15:25 to 15:34 I am desperate for a transcription of this. Can't notate it myself, even when I slow it down.
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial but I can't open the link for the lesson sheet and backing track...
It should be working now!
@@PianoWithJonny Thank you!
I don't like it. I LOOOVE it.
wonderful lesson
I always get another string to my bow after your lessons.....thanx maestro
They are all talking. You got to deal with that up front.
Awsm love the videos, next time funk jazz
Cool video, Jonny. Catch you on the flip slide 🙃
Is there a major turn around progression or something out of minor scale?
Please name the program that plays drums and double bass, thank you
Great video.
Your efforts worth to watching you play tks
i can not raech
Un capo jonny!,,,
Awesome. Long way from Disney!
thanks a lot it's very useful. 🙂
awesome teaching I am a guitar player and thus is so cool
Too fast
those drums make it sound sooooo much better.
You rock man. I'm just learning piano and these lessons are golden.
Can i have the entire score???
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?

I hope that helps a little??
A is coming from the C melodic minor scale
This is great Johnny thanks.
This is so awesome to see broken down, thanks so much Johnny!!!
Awesome Bro.. You rock..😊😍

You explain very fast. More slowly please. Thank you.
Woooah I learned a lot

Well, I think that we have different definitions of beginners and beginners. I'll catch up to you later.
Man? You are all over the place!
We know you can play but can you teach? I'm not sure Jonny.
