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.
Watched it again and loved it again.I try all Jonny stuff and realised I,m searching for a jazz” style” that I like best..Jonny has covered every style except Dixieland 1920s .,which I,m trying to attempt.Great vid one of my favs.thanx
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).
, thank you Johnny for showing me the easiest way to understand how to play simple basic jazzy sound on major 7 cords now I got it regards from RichardLiew from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
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.
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.
@@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
Hey man! Thank you for making this video. I'm a beginner classically trained pianist I wanna learn jazz. I'm in a cofusion. Where to start? What should I learn first?
4:16 ------ so what does that sound like? It sounds like an expert/prodigy at work haha. Kidding only. This video - along with all the other ones --- are golden. Thanks very much Jonny.
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.
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.
Great vid. "It's actually not that hard to play", 🤣🤣🤣. If you've played a monophonic melody instrument 🎷 for years, and the piano is giving you fits, (still love it though), that makes you 🤣.

Glad to help!
Johnny is like the Athlean X of piano. “Scales are killing your gains!”
Jonny ---- without the 'h' !
I watch your videos as a guitarist to learn music teory and use it in my guitar playing. 😀
Best teacher!! Thank you so much!!!
Waw, this is a really cool video with wonderfull sounding examples. Great job Jonny !

Great lesson,I always learn something new on every one.
As always very well presented and approachable lesson. Very nice. Thank you.
Watching after the Enclosure Workshop. Towards the next level ! Thanks, master !
I am so glad I found you, your teaching skills are so helpful! Thank you.
Thank you, Jonny! I love you 🔆💝🤞🏻🌞❤️💗
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹

Another great lesson, Mr. May. Thanks for sharing.
Nice , it's simple and beautiful. Appreciate the exercise
Great lesson! I'm not a piano player, but I can certainly adapt this to my Steelpan (Tenor Pan)
Great pragmatic lesson! Enjoyed a lot. How to apply pairs on a II-V progression? It could be usefull a dedicated video..thanks again!!

Thank you Jonny.
Hey, can you make a video explaining how to improvise with the burlesque blues?
Great!! Thank youuuu 🥳🤗
Where is the love button? ;) Absolute fantastic!
great thanx

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

@@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
minor primary pairs:
1 b3 5
1 b3 5 = 6 1 3 in Major key view.
@@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

Too well as usual
I love youuuuuuuuuuu
I have question tho.... Do i need to learn jazz when ur a pop musician?
lovely :)
It's so hard for me. i'll back to this video when i am able to apply these techniques, just i hope that youtube will be still on duty until then.
Great vid. "It's actually not that hard to play", 🤣🤣🤣. If you've played a monophonic melody instrument 🎷 for years, and the piano is giving you fits, (still love it though), that makes you 🤣.
1 major n 1 minor are enough
