      I am wondering, what application are you using so that it will be shown above what you are pressing on your piano keyboard? Thanks. For educational purposes only.

      I subscribed for a year or two, and was very satisfied with the instruction. In fact, there are almost to many courses and I found myself getting distracting going from one to another. I'm used to having that personal instructor who would NOT allow me to wonder off. But Jonny seems to have the best teaching videos going. Highly recommend subscribing.

    Thank you so much, Jonny! I was trying to learn Jazz piano from in-person lessons, but NO ONE really had any excercises or technique tips. I'm the type of student that needs deliberate practice in order to master skills. Unfortunately, many teachers I run into say I will just "pick it up" and to give it time. Well, 20 years later, I'm still confused. Until, I found you! Thank you so much for your insights and methodologies. Thank you also for all your hard work and creating this channel. I will definitely be buying some of your courses. Many many thanks!💖

    @blueeyedsoulman 3 роки тому +2

    I would then play them with left hand inversions around middle C. Not just in root form although that's a good visual startup. Try to keep the chords between F below middle C and G above middle C for a guide. Lastly you could just omit the root altogether and add the nine (2nd) for a more real world experience. I would become a member in a heartbeat if I could justify the $299 when I have 2 jobs and so little time to play. Jonny is spot on if you want to learn jazz or Ragtime or just sound better. I'm a saxophonist but I think Jonny teaches music in a way that can apply to any western instrument. Even drummers can benefit from playing along.
