@@antomcmanus1775 hi, what is confusing? A scale is a succession of notes. The mode is how this succession must be. Read the modes in C major, then it's enough to transpose. This is true for a lot of instruments.
Man. I was in a pretty dark place. Your channel has changed my life. I'll make a weekly exercise schedule of your lessons and start truly practicing. There's still hope. Thank you so much and God bless you! ❤
This is amazing ! Thank you. I’m a classical pianist and music teacher. I’ve been dabbling in jazz and yearning to learn it w these kind of exercises that make TOTAL sense. And they’re really fun and accessible. Looking forward to watching more. KUDOS!!! 🎉
You are fantastic! I'm Italian but your way of teaching is the best to understand jazz. Well done! I'm a beginner and with you I want to learn. Greetings Claudio
Ok, so as an advanced pianist, in addition to saying that Jonny's videos that I've seen so far are awesome, someone needs to say that this guy has beautiful hands, fingernails, and rings. What a pleasure to watch and to listen to!
What I do for learning modes is to focus on C major and then simply put this: it is playing Cmajor scale but shifting the root. As an example, consider Dminor,it is the second chord of CMajor ... we start to play over Cmajor scale but shifting the root to D... this is called D Dorian but in fact it is simply C major starting from D. From there you apply this to every chord of the C Major and then you cross all the modes. It is simplistic but at the end... this is what it is. Of course... the art is to make good music with that and that is another piece! This course is amazing.
What I like in yur way of teaching is that the exercises are funny and sound good. This make your course funny while being very good. This way of teaching opens to different ways to learn scales and phrasing. You are very creative and give me ideas on how to practice them differently on a guitar too.
Is crazy how Johnny knows so much of piano. A genius with his new formulas exercises, tips, tricks, theory, etcc and the way he plays every genre, and he is still a young guy.
That’s because he has learned a lot AND plays a lot, you goof! 🎹😊♥️. Seriously though if you commit to practicing what he gives you, you will get better. And this coming from a “slow learner!” I am loving this lesson. Good luck to you.
@@shirleybarnes8852 same here, I can now play very long lines in one direction, meanering through differen scales. i.e major to diminished, and I am a mere beginner. it's very exciting.
Dear Jonny, thank you for your endless hours of work you put into your helpful videos. I went from not playing anything 4 weeks ago to writing my one song stealing those cords from fly me to the moon. Jonny your the Man. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Regards Marcus.
This is the most comprehensive and detailed tutorial. Everyone leaves knowing exactly what they need to do and I can definitely see a path to better jazz playing
Did you know how he is playing the left hand chord,, when he is hitting the chord.is it in the scale starting or twice in the scale. If you understand please let me know.
Oh, man, this is the most incredible way I have ever seen on youtube to learn scales and chords. The best thing is that it comes with fingerings...that's the GREATEST part of it. I'll definitely buy these lessons. Thanks.
Hi Johnny I am a starting beginner, I have browsed numerous sites on UA-cam about learning, and wasn't convinced because I know something is missing until I accidentally came across you lesson. This is what I'm looking for. Thank you. I'll start now.
As a late beginner/early intermediate player, I can't emphasize enough how great your videos are Jonny. Thank you so much for taking standard instruction and transforming it into useful real-life playing material. Invaluable lessons!!
Fantastic practice suggestions, Jonny. You just gave more to advance my playing than I have ever gotten in ten years of being on the lookout. These are very approachable and rewarding routines, and you have already made me a better player... there is HOPE! Robert in Oregon
What a great exercise to force myself to learn most of the scales, not just the typical ones. Added bonus of learning to transition smoothly. Thanks, Jonny.
Great tips for piano practice for all genres because these exercises universally help your ear and body assimilate the keys while working your creativity and dexterity! Thank you, Jonny!
Searching for piano exercises to teach my students and stumbled upon your video. Such clear instruction and great techniques you’ve shared. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
So excited to learn from your tutorials. Wish I had this kind of stuff when I was young. I can rock boogie blues but always wanted to learn jazz. Your videos are fantastic!
You literally read my mind when you said that we should come up with our own fingering rather than be constrained by our classical fingering mechanics. Nice to hear it said aloud. 👌
Good video. Thank you. I’ve watched a lot of videos and your videos are the best I’ve seen so far. Simple and straight forward without a lot of overselling or BS. Will check out your course.
Fantastic lesson Jonny This is no doubt what has been missing in my play/improvisation It's just what I have been looking and needed at this time Thank you Jonny May

you are such a good teacher keep it up you are amazing Jonny THANK YOU
I'm so confused why modes are harder than scales..... Especially since your not actually playing them across keys in the example .

I know how to play the piano but I would never have explained or taught it as clearly as he explains and teaches it.

not all people who know how to play the piano know how to teach how to play the piano

@@peaceWorker77 exactly, some just show you how much they know and how good they are at it.....
I'm not a keyboardist but I watch your videos for general music theory because you are just so good. Thank you
Same. I got my guitar in hand watching these

That’s what I call a teacher. This is seriously what I need to develop my goals on the piano.

Ah, so good to get a good blend of explanation and practical. This is so much better than "here are some triads, now learn them all"
