    It`s an absolutely great lesson! For me as a beginner it`s so important being encouraged to play less than more. And here I have really to practise and learn so much. It`s really a lot to do - and it sounds wonderful. Thank you Jonny!

    I have been playing piano, including stints in bands, for Fifty years. Still, I have learned many things from your videos. I sometimes think your channel should be called: "Things I should have learned after years of playing piano, but didn't." You're an excellent, unselfish teacher. Thank you.

    Thank you Jonny. Amazing lesson! To all you out there. Say "tri-ple it" when playing the triplets and remember to "swing" the eighth notes. Then you can start to approach Jonny's technique. The left hand is doing a "stride" method. Play the g note followed by the lower c then together in the higher octave e,g,a,d. ( C6/9).

    So this all revolves around the one chord. If you were to move to the ii in C, would you adjust to using d minor, F major, and C major chords as your 1, 3, and 6 pairs for that chord I’m assuming? Very helpful video!

    Some of the things you dont like by the scales...10CC are using that in some of their songs. Lazy ways is one to mention. Hey..it's an open world. :-) The weird cords and how to use them can make great tunes/songs.

    Great video! Just inspiring. Quick question: which pairs go well with minor chords?

    • @mikepro500
      @mikepro500 3 роки тому +3

      Try to focus on Am7 chord as your tonic if you wanna play the same diatonic white keys but in a minor tonality. Because A minor is the relative minor of C Major.
      Am7 = A C E G
      First minor primary pair: A C E G
      Second minor primary pair: C E G B
      Third minor primary pair: E G B D
      Got it?
      If you wanna play in C minor key you need to transpose all the A minor intervals to C.
      Like this:
      First minor primary pair: C Eb G Bb
      Second minor primary pair: Eb G Bb D
      Third minor primary pair: G Bb D F

      @@mikepro500 Thank you very much, it's very clear. So, instead of the 1,3,6 "builds" as in major, it would be the 1,3,5 in minor. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I notice that in both cases the primary pairs span the corresponding pentatonic scale + B (or equivalent degree in other keys), which makes a lot of sense.

    • @mikepro500
      @mikepro500 3 роки тому +3

      @@FranciscoTornay that's right.
      Major scale degrees:
      1 2 3 4 5 6 7
      minor scale degrees:
      1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7
      So, Major primary pairs:
      1 3 6

      @@FranciscoTornay Pentatonic scale sound consonant because it skip the tritone.
      C Major pentatonic:
      C D E G A
      1 2 3 5 6
      A minor pentatonic:
      A C D E G
      1 b3 4 5 b7
      The tritone is formed between F and B, if you skip that interval you sound more consonant melodically and harmonically. But you can use one of two notes from the tritone for variation. Example:
      With one tritone note:
      G highest note
      D inner voice
      B inner voice (tritone note)
      A inner voice
      G lowest note
      That is a block chord, but you can use an alternative voicing like:
      Without tritone notes:
      G highest note
      D inner voice
      C inner voice
      A inner voice
      G lowest note
      With tritone note:
      G highest note
      F inner voice (tritone note)
      D inner voice
      A inner voice
      G lowest note
      With tritone:
      G highest note
      F inner voice (tritone note)
      D inner voice
      B inner voice (tritone note)
      G lowest note

    Why does a lot of the the jazz sheet music represents (dotted eights + sixteenths) as (eights + eights)? In 8:12, for example, the notes in the last half of the bars should be dotted eigths + sixteenths. Why is that? Is that the norm in jazz? I've seen this too many times in sheet music.

    • @scottboltz6885
      @scottboltz6885 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, it is a norm in jazz. They are called Jazz Eighths or Swing Eighths. It is a triplet feel without having to write that out all the time. Google those terms to get more detail.
