LESSON SUMMARY
Imagine you are taking a trip to somewhere you've never been before. You probably don't want to look like a tourist, but you're not sure how to blend in and you don't know the language. What you need are connections! The right connections will help you avoid awkward moments and allow you to fit in as you adjust to your new surroundings. Of course, the foreign land on your itinerary is jazz piano and the local language is improvisation. The connections you need to step out with confidence in jazz piano improvisation are chromatic neighbors. Without them, you will certainly sound like you're not from around here. Thankfully, this Quick Tip will give you the connections you need. You'll learn:
- Upper Neighbors
- Lower Neighbors
- Modes
- Diatonic 7th Chords
- Improv applications

Cheers for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning piano fast minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker finally got great results with it.
how does one apply this excercise starting with D major7? I scratch my head working out the first five notes of F minor. Can you help me please?
@@henrydavis9388 I am surprised nobody replied to your question. I am very low on piano skills, but stronger on Music theory. You would have to start with the D major scale, just like he did here with the C major scale. The notes are, of course, DEF#GABC#(D) so the first chord for the left hand is D-F#-A-C# and the first five-note scale is DEF#GA and so on. Constructing this will really help your thinking skills. I was disappointed that I couldn't find the link to download all of the materials, but Johnny likes to get paid, I guess. Hope you had better luck.
Wow!
Now I know what it means to "love your neighbor."
lol ;)
It took me a minute to catch on but I got it now
Jazz is intimidating when you have no idea what they are doing and it becomes surprisingly easy once you know the formula of what they are playing. Great lesson. Instantly applicable.
Thanks for this
I'm an instructor myself, in a different field though. I learn a lot from you not just about jazz but also about your fabulous teaching skills. I'm more than excited that I've found your channel.
Thank you, Jonny, you're the great teacher. You make jazz piano become easy to understand.
Some musicians are good, but not everyone is a good teacher. Jonny May is both.
Absolutely, Good teachers share in a comprehensive manner. Pleasant personality to go with it. .
Totally agree
(only)For some students...
Now that’s something new I’ve never heard.. using your neighbors to connect. That actually makes a lot of sense. I just wish my Jazz teacher, as phenomenal as he was at piano, would have been able to teach a basis of it.
Having a classic “why didn’t I think of this” moment hearing about these upper and lower neighbors. You’re a good teacher!
Is because with classical music you copy. With jazz you have to think. Impro scales teach you to think on your feet quickly. I'm learning classical - grade 3 now but find it a little boring at this stage (love it but not hours of just it) and therefore started learning jazz.
Gracias Jonny, abrazo grande desde Arg.
This is kind of a hip Hanon. This is my first visit to your channel, and this is wonderful. I'm restarting piano after 40 years so my metronome will be a wee bit slower, but this is really cool.
Loving this channel. I really want to practice and learn THANKS!
Jonny
I m your follower and nicely taught. You are good man I suppose full of wholehearts. Goutam Mitra

Thank you Jonny!
As a complete beginner, I found the piano especially frustrating until I stumbled upon Jonny’s tutorials. He is both a talented musician and teacher, especially for us beginners. Best of all, his exuberance is absolutely contagious.
Thanks Jonny.
GI - I could not agree more .And I add my thanks also to Jonny- bobbyt.
Totally agree he makes voicings and improv super easy to pick up on. I remember a little bit from college (enough to show off some party tricks 🤓) but this is way more fun.
Mil gracias por tus clases tan
didácticas y claras. Enhorabuena Jonhy!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Wow,....what fun!
Thank you so much for this Johnny!🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏾 Just practiced a few times in all twelve keys. Amazing exercise. First time I feel like I have some intuitive grasp on good right hand fingering in any key👍🏾
GREAT DEMO.....THANK YOU!
Thank you very much for this great explain lession
Love it Jonny, thank you 🙂
Great teacher
Thank you so much for sharing. I am a classical pianist myself but I still could learn so much in Musical Style from your tutorials about jazz.
I was returned from the piano but you made me go back again, 😍 I love you ❤️💕😘
Thank you.. this is brilliant!
Thanks for this teaching! It is very useful! 👍🏻

Le tue lezioni sono incredibili! Mi stanno aiutando veramente tanto. Grazie
This dude is legendary teacher^^ He makes everything extremely simple to understand and follow! I absolutely salute you sir! Jam on
Thank you so much, i really appreciate this
Thx for the great lesson❤
Love this. My uncle was a jazz pianist here in Chicago and I was taught hanon and classical and love Beethoven can read the notes and hear something like santana rock stuff like journey styx etc. But never really learned improv until I joined bands in the 80s after college
good lesson, thanks!
If you're new to Johnny's lessons, check out his tutorial for major and minor blues scales. I'm a guitarist who plays piano as a secondary instrument. Johnny's lessons have helped me as a player and as a teacher. His method is efficient, effective, accessible and fun.
Thank You :)
Nice breakdowns of chords sequences, love it! Might apply it on my classical piano students:) Thanks, Jonny. Subscribed and looking forward to see through your other videos.
Very useful 🤩
Good tip!
Just joined your website-course.
I am amazed how much I learned in the 1st -10 minutes, and very clearly explained. I was playing a new style in very few minutes. This is the talent Jonny has- excellent Piano Player, but his real talent is his teaching skills. And what an amazing -website, so full of excellent learning material. All clear and straightforward. Jonny doesn't waste any time with idle-chatter, just the facts and gets right to the point.
What are you waiting for ? Cheers, Don.
Great Teaching
Mr John god bless you i have to tell you that you have changed my life with your lessons before i had a lot of problem when i have to soloing over some pieces but with your quick tips i have learned a ton of stuff especially the blues scale you teached me that i can use the blues scale by soloing thank you very much and god bless you for everlasting
This is a great exercise! It’s like a remedial version of bebop enclosures. But it would be nice to get suggested fingerings in all twelve keys.
Suuuch a great vid ! Thanks for helping me getting some structure to my practice 🙏
gifted teacher
ありがとうございます♪
One of my incredible students wants to play jazz and so I have been trying to find resources for him. Please know that you are helping a young incredible 5th grader gain incredible skills.. (and I enjoy your videos too!). I hope god blesses you greatly as you are blessing us with your generosity in sharing your knowledge . Goodbye for now... Ms. Donna
Gee your lesson are fantastic. I’ve learned so much lately, it wants me to keep practicing.
