Thanks for the lesson. One question: if I have a I-V-VI-IV progression, how can I transform it into a jazzy progression? I mean, the I grade I play a maj13. But, what should do I do in the other chords?
Daniel Alvarado , You can watch the UA-cam How to make any chord progression jazzy with Secondary Dominant chord. It is the first basic step called 5 -1 progression. Furthermore, you can add another minor7 dominant before that second dominant to form the 2-5-1 progression to any major chord in your chord progression. Best wishes.
Hi there!.. the 11th is nice and jazzy sounding when you use it on a minor chord(a whole tone from the minor 3rd), however it's avoided in a major chord because it clashes with the Major 3rd chord tone (one semitone apart).. plus, b9 interval in major chord is too dissonant, unless it's a Dominant b9 chord. I hope this is helpful 🙏🎶🎹😊
The reason to leave out the 4th/11th is that, depending on the voicing, it can create a minor 9th interval with the 3rd of the chord. That minor 9th often doesn't sound very good in a major chord. It's fairly common to see a sharp 11 instead, as it creates a much more pleasant major 9th with the 3rd of the chord.
Yes, the chord is a C major, but he said "harmonize the G" meaning that the G at the top of the C chord was the melody note and that he was going to add other notes to harmonize with that G note.
00:34 C Major chord: add any notes from the scale except the 4
01:29 Harmonize the G
02:28 3 rules
02:44 Rule 1: clusters
03:10 Rule 2: avoid the root in RH
03:32 Rule 3: use root-5 in LH
03:48 Apply this technique to other inversions
06:29 Play with backing track
07:26 Practice in other keys

Jonny, thank you so much. Question: Do you have a similar course on minor chords? How to build from a triad to a 7th, 9th?
Keep up the good work!
Learner from Malaysia learned something new from your videos thank you for showing
Now this is what I am talking about! Such a simple yet effective concept. Follow the formula🙌🏾..more please 😊..
Cool lesson there Jonny! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing 👍🎹🎶😊
the perfect lesson for a beginner like me. I have taken lessons before but it was never explained
so clearly. Thanks
Hi Johnny. Can you please do a video explaining how you do the right hand run at the beginning of the video 0:01 sec
Great video! Your explanation is very nice!
as I cannot play fingers independent, I can hardly combine...yr video's are a fine sign post to play with great pleasure!
You TOTALLY making me LAUGH big time EVERY SINGLE TIME thx you!! Ahhhhh gooorgeouss sound!!! 👍🤣
These are the best lessons on yt that make you sound like you know what your doing.
Simple and precious 👍🏻
Que buen truco, lo usaré siempre.
liked and subrscribed , thanks man , good on you ! from Ireland
Very original. Thanks for the tip !
Thanks for the lesson.

ThankYou so much
Can you explain the theory behind leaving out the 4th? Why is it an avoid note? The 4th is just the 11th, so shouldn’t it sound jazzy too?

Leave out the 4 th note. I should be able to remember that rule! Thanks.
Good tutorial
Do I have to know how to read music to get your lesson ?
Quick answer,no,he’s showing you the timing and placement of your fingers,I can follow his lessons and I don’t read music.
harmonizing "A"? Is that adding all the notes of "A" chord on top of LH playing root "c" and 5th "G"?
How if I put the 5th And the 7th on the left hand ? (Instead of the 10th)
Good question
Goosebumps listening this voicings - on the piano they sound to be honest a little bit nicer as on the guitar 😎
Major 7th and dominant 7th I'm assuming ?
I can see why the fourth can't be added. Since it's the dominant, it would overpower the whole thing.
Sounds like the Rolls Royce chime.
1:32 why do you say G, it's a C isn't it ??
Yes, the chord is a C major, but he said "harmonize the G" meaning that the G at the top of the C chord was the melody note and that he was going to add other notes to harmonize with that G note.
No, he's harmonizing the top note - G
