Thanks to TH-cam algorithms your clip just popped up .... Worth a sub without question. Great screen presence & you explain it very well. Brilliant!!!!
Funksmash! What a pleasant person you are - and such a great teacher. Just found this by accident, thought I would watch it for fun - and I ended up learning something instead. Thanks for sharing yourself and your gifts! Great vid! Subscribed!!!
I remember you! A funk lesson you did years ago, an advanced funk groove. Different channel. It was awesome. I was just a kid. You always manage to get me on the piano and get practicing. Everything you teach is really fun to play. Really great guy!
Oh my! I just can’t stop discovering the greatest teachers that I’ve never known in my life just on TH-cam. And that’s it month by month. It’s like an open college just in my hand. I hope that I could get enough time to spend on this treasures.
Wow ! I just discovered your channel and I am blown away. This is song is above my level because I haven't played in over 10 years due to a right middle finger injury but I want to give this song a shot. It will probably take a couple of months to learn and play it but I will send you a link when I'm comfortable in playing it. Thank you so much for giving me the spark to challenge myself and get back to playing.
I'm hooked! I love the joyful, funky impishness of this channel. Equal parts love of the groove, deep applied theory, pandering free teaching and humor.
Yup. I too have spent a ransom's amount on sheet music and backing tracks. That being said, if Jonathan had a paypal account listed, I'm sure people wouldn't mind being generous.
I have never seen better technique or more solid funk. It is my sincere dream to be a player like you some day. I don't have a lot of hope...... But just keep doing what you do. Some people think this is easy. They are so wrong.
a huge thanks from france. with your awesome videos, i really improve my english. and obviously my groove too ! good pedagogy, and easy to follow you, so thank you so much and bravo !
Man! I cant even believe you exist! This kind of video is the ultimate content to learn, you do it so good deamn. Im not that much advanced but i cant way to start playing like you!
Gotta admit, at this point im just watching these to enjoy these tremendously funky grooves.... I'll try the tutorial, but in the meantime, just grooving along with some head-bobbin'! 😉 Great grooves!👍
Measure 1 of section B was driving me nuts. He left out the B flat below the A flat in the base (in the sheet music, not his tutorial) in the middle of the measure. But what a great tutorial and what a great piece. Thank you Jonathan.
Hello Jonathon, I had tremendously enjoyed your tutorials done for "... Village" (I liked your then shorter beard lol )... Don't tell anyone, but I had used one in my promotional video. Nobody has ever commented on that excerpt but I sure did work diligently on it. All this to say that I am so thrilled that I've accidentally stepped into this presentation. I find your precision and ease inspiring. A big thumb up!
Nice funk groove!! Love it when the vid first shows you the whole lick and then breaks it down. Because you can hear it and determine if you wanna stay for the rest or not. Thanks for posting!
Hello! I introduce myself, I am your best student. thanks for teaching me so much. You are my best teacher and so far you know haha. You are the best and I almost learned all your "funk". Thanks JW!
FUNKSMASH! thanks for putting fingerings in for the bluesy lick at the end. so often i know the notes to play but get thrown off by a lack of fingerings
WOW! - Came across this and erm... like...WOW! - i SO YEARN TO BE LIKE YOU! - So at one - totally with the instrument! You have truly inspired me to get this learnt - I suspect it may take a while - but hey ho - already I'm making nice proud progress . Can't stop watching the video - Love the way you look so happy when playing it! - And it must be infectious cos every time I watch this - I smile with appreciation and enjoyment - and you make me happy - Thanks once again! x x x
Love love this! Already started learning it. In terms of future content, my only request is higher frequency! The content and grooves are such high quality (new cameras and set up are looking 🔥🔥). I also would love videos about your writing process. I first fell in love with funk years ago when I first discovered your videos. I've taken a few cracks at writing my own grooves with some good success, but I'd love more insight! Lastly, I'd recommend putting a preview of the groove as the very first thing in the video. It would act as a great visual hook and likely boost your clicks and views.
Still the best Funkin' piano channel on the Tube!! I'm so curious why this particular Funk Groove is watched so much more than for instance your Funk Groove in F (Boss Level). Ofcourse this funk groove is awesome but so are the other ones, is it some weird algorithm? Do you have an explanation Jonathon?
Super fantastic! Half way through and can't wait to get it all done. Does anyone have recommendations for similar music - funk dynamic piano - artists or spotify playlists?
dayum... ! this is incredible and i am itching to request something really specific, but first i have to watch all of your videos and... freak out or something.
Hello Jonathan - The TH-cam algorithm found out about your killer groove(s) and brought me here. I know what you’re thinking, there goes another guitarist trying to horn in on the keyboard player's action! Yup. You’re right. Great stuff you’re dishing out on your channel. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Goran Pejić yep! Same here! It feels like the first time I see an important exam result being an A online on my Uni website! Dopamine and serotonine rising to new hights
Funksmash! This is an awesome tune and I'm really happy it ended up in my recommendations. I'm going to devote April break to watching all of your old videos :P
Love this lesson first time on your channel and really like your style of teaching…send more of this type of grooves both in funk blues and jazz styles 👍🎹🎶
This is the first funk piano music I’ve learnt, I love it thank you! You explain so well and clearly how to play it, I’m not as fast as you yet but I’m getting there !
Oh My goodness! New subscriber here! Love your playing and teaching style! This one reminds me a bit of one of my all-time heroes, David Sancious - specifically the song One Time (8th track from his 1975 album Forest of Feelings). If you've not heard this you must check it out for sure! Sancious Minimoog leads are to die for! I believe he used a whammy pedal of sorts to do the big long dive-bombs.
Funksmash !! Jonathon thank you so much for the music! I've been following you for ages! It's great you make tutorials about your music! It's awesome! Greetings from Perú 🇵🇪 =D
Holly crap... This was an amazing funksmash. I don't even know how to play piano, but stayed till the end... this was entertaining... And the song is a Bomb..... an absolute FUNKSMASH
Hey, I am a new one on your schanel learning a lot-) I am thinking...perhabs you could take any of traditional well-known songs and try to arrange it in your funky-crazy style...I would love very much to see it (and inspire for new things).
Im stunned. 3 minutes into the video, I dont know how I never found this channel. Gonna proceed to binge watch all of your videos. Im so happy.
Exactly the same here.
You may be like me. Google's algorithm sent me this way. Thank goodness!
yea This guy is the best.
Same! A year later! Peace
30 seconds in for me ahaha.

You’re a very good teacher! You have a very humble friendly approach. And yet you’re better than 99% of the pianists on TH-cam!
Wow ! I just discovered your channel and I am blown away.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone have more fun playing piano. Fun to watch and listen to, as well. Nicely done, sir!
I'm hooked! I love the joyful, funky impishness of this channel. Equal parts love of the groove, deep applied theory, pandering free teaching and humor.
Thank you, Peter :) Welcome!
you have no idea how goood it is to get free sheet music/backing tracks/midi for once!! Thank you!!
Yup. I too have spent a ransom's amount on sheet music and backing tracks. That being said, if Jonathan had a paypal account listed, I'm sure people wouldn't mind being generous.
He’s in the car driving to Funky Town.
He’s gotta pick up towelie on the way there. 🤣
Brilliant comment.

Couple years late but that groove funksmashed my fingers.
Thanks !
Once in a while I get to hear tunes which lead to goose bumps, yours is one of them ^^

You are the real Mr FUNK man. All of a sudden I want to change from saxophonist to FUNK piano. Thanks.
Man! I cant even believe you exist! This kind of video is the ultimate content to learn, you do it so good deamn. Im not that much advanced but i cant way to start playing like you!
Funksmash!!!!! Been killing my hands and arms for a week on that crazy lick in C section.... Killer!!!!
Gotta admit, at this point im just watching these to enjoy these tremendously funky grooves.... I'll try the tutorial, but in the meantime, just grooving along with some head-bobbin'! 😉 Great grooves!👍

You are the best Jonathon!
Hello! I introduce myself, I am your best student. thanks for teaching me so much. You are my best teacher and so far you know haha. You are the best and I almost learned all your "funk". Thanks JW!
The beginning of the backing track reminds me of teenage dirtbag haha!
This is as always a masterpiece! I love it!
Got it ! I play the Tune with my Trio with some Improvisation over the Chords in the middle. Thanx a lot, great tune !
Love your music and work Jonathan, keep up funk!

Hi Jonathon
Very nice melody. Could you do more tutorials of this musical genre. It's amazing. it moves a lot. Thank you so much

Wow. Just wow. That’s solid all the way around. Funkalicious for sure!

This is beautiful! Beautiful music and a beautiful man! You're ability for rhythmic playing is other worldly.
Thank you very much for the backing track and sheet music I really appreciate this !! Thank you again Teddy korbos !!
Great to listen your new composition! Funksmash!
Already practicing this one!
Gosh, I love your energy and your enthusiasm
That's simply AMAZING.
How can I find more music like this? Are there any bands who play this type of music?
This is a beast, a juggernaut which will NOT be stopped.
Ha! I like that.
Have you recorded a full version of this? If not you should it’s fantastic!! I’ll have a go and send a video
Funksmash!! Glad you‘re back.
First! Nice work!
A pleasant find for any keyboard/piano player! Love the channel! You got some chops, man!
Thank you for your game, warmed up the soul.

This is the first funk piano music I’ve learnt, I love it thank you! You explain so well and clearly how to play it, I’m not as fast as you yet but I’m getting there !
