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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Only thing is there is no formula for what they're playing. That's why it's called improv. It's way more complex than learning a few formulas. These are just little building blocks used for idea thats all.
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.
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.
I’m senior try to learn how to play jazz This is first time I understand what c7 is I’m going enjoy and try hard until I play misty for me Thank you Jonny you are the best
I love when you write down solos and play them jonny and show us so we can copy and remember them. learn solos in combination with exercise is the way forward. more of that. please.
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.
This is a very serious lesson on how to start with jazz improvisation. Learning the diatonic scales for now left hand. Right hand….challenging, but i will keep watching this excellent instruction video. Thank you for sharing it with the world……
This is probably one of the best if not the best way of learning creative jazz piano improvisation. You make it so very interesting and this forces one to practice. Thanks.
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.
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👍🏾
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
Hi Linda! I wondered if you'd do me a favor? I have a piano lesson channel that is totally FREE, and I teach popular songs in a really easy way. Since you like Piano with Jonny, I thought maybe you could check it out and give me your thoughts on a few videos so I can get better and improve. Would you mind clicking my logo there to the left and checking a few videos out that catch your attention and let me know what you think? I reply back to ALL comments on my channel, so I hope to talk to you there! - Ben
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
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
Wow! No wonder my 'so-called' jazz practice sounded so lame. One simple lesson and you have opened up a whole new landscape on jazz for me. This is too good. I just have to check out the tuition. Thank you so much.
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.
This is fantastic. Bonus info (NO NEED): The upper and downer neighbours are what constitutes those fancy 9bs, 11#s, 13#s, etc. Right? And not remembering those names to begin with but just as neighbours to the first five is pedagogically, advancycally and enjoy-ycally brilliance. ;-)
In C, it is relatively easy, but try to practice for 12 keys, C#, D and so on, are really challenging because there are so many variations we will need weeks to practice
This is a great introductory lesson. I started playing piano 6 months ago, but I play another instrument already which helps a lot to understand music theory. But from a technical perspective, I try to avoid crossing over my fingers. I notice this should also be possible here as it looks you play most of the melody in staccato. Therefore I would try to simply raise the hand and reposition it to get to the next note. The side effect is that it requires less fingers. Have you tried it?
@@PianoWithJonny hello Jonny what is the name of this scale E F# G A Bb Db D which sounds very good over E minor 2 5 1 (F#m7--B7--Em) ? I need the name so i can learn it in other keys thanks.

Where were you 50 years ago Johnny? I feel like I've been missing out on this now that I'm over 60 I don't have much time to catch up! Nice lessons though. Thanks.
I didn't like this video...I LOVED it. I'm at the point in my playing where I'm doing scales but also practicing my 7 chords, and this is really the next logical step. Merci beaucoup for this one. I think it will keep me occupied for months, and I will get it right. See you at the next level.

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?

Thank you, Jonny, you're the great teacher. You make jazz piano become easy to understand.
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!

I m your follower and nicely taught. You are good man I suppose full of wholehearts. Goutam Mitra
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 I know what it means to "love your neighbor."
lol ;)
It took me a minute to catch on but I got it now
And remember: those weirdos that live two houses away from you can show a whole new world: they are the chromatic mediant neighbours! 😅
This is probably one of the best if not the best way of learning creative jazz piano improvisation. You make it so very interesting and this forces one to practice. Thanks.
Thank you fot your lessons sir. You are my hero 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!

You can make difficult things look easy. You're a great teacher.
Thanks Jonny! You're an excellent teacher. I'm from Argentina 💜
Thank you! 😃
Gracias Jonny, abrazo grande desde Arg.
This dude is legendary teacher^^ He makes everything extremely simple to understand and follow! I absolutely salute you sir! Jam on
Le tue lezioni sono incredibili! Mi stanno aiutando veramente tanto. Grazie
You are the best piano teacher
Love ur work - how easy you make it for people, with a little practice to feel more adept, accomplished and prepared - thank you.
Its like a jazz hannon exercise 😎
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.
It's like hannon exercises for jazz!!!
Hopefully more fun than Hanon!
@PianoWithJonny Definitely more fun than hannon! Especially the improv part!! 😃
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.

Thank you!
I automatically subscribed,,,, I finally found a piano practice channel like this. Thank you teacher
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
Really like that first exercise. Never have thought of doing a right hand as efficiently as you are showing. great to see the sheet music.
Glad you liked it!
HAD a lot of fun with the right ✋.
The left needs a little work.
THANK YOUUUU!
Your work is very liberating
Amazing thank you!
You bet!
Oh yeah!
Mycket intressant och nyttigt för alla pianister. Rekommenderas starkt!
Man you’re a really really awesome teacher! You inspire me I watch your video everyday

Gee your lesson are fantastic. I’ve learned so much lately, it wants me to keep practicing.
In C, it is relatively easy, but try to practice for 12 keys, C#, D and so on, are really challenging because there are so many variations we will need weeks to practice
This is an awesome tutorial
Awesome! So far, this is the best Jazz lesson I could ever find!

I have never understood the piano until now! Wow. You have demystified it for me and I am anxious to make my hands move that fast!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
@@PianoWithJonny hello Jonny what is the name of this scale E F# G A Bb Db D which sounds very good over E minor 2 5 1 (F#m7--B7--Em) ? I need the name so i can learn it in other keys thanks.
This lesson about fluency. Each position has unique sounds, must try for 12 keys, very challenging
Very useful 🤩
