Wow hey Noah and Jonny! A nice chance here to tell you both thank you! At the same time haha. I've learned so much from your videos. Best wishes, Felix
I just discovered your channel and your lessons are simply perfect and easy to understand! I Wish I have had a piano teacher like you when I was younger! Anyway, I have a question to ask: this tritone substitution is applicable in a 2-5-1 progression right? But if I want to add this technique to a pop song, how would it be? Can you find an example please? Thank you in adv Jonny, you are amazing!
Awesome! There's a difference between (us) knowing something in theory, and seeing how it pans out to sound great in practice. Specially when you layer 2 or 3 upgrades on top of each other! More of this sort of thing please :)
PS 7:38 definitely does sound good - and I'm slowing down to 0.25 speed to spot all the extra sauce you're putting on top of the things you went on to show us!! :D
Fantastic lesson this has cleared up so much confusion for myself. piano with Jonny is great thank so very much. keep up the good work, and of course your fabulous playing. your enthusiasm is addictive. Top Man.
Just great Johnny. Just discovered your site and just think it’s the best jazz teaching method I was ever taught ! So clear, so simple, so much fun ! Thanks so much from France!
Coming from a classical background, it's interesting how this is similar to the Neapolitan chord (bII), but in classical music it's usually in first inversion (and it doesn't have the 7th), and then instead of resolving straight to the I chord, it goes to V then I.
Good evening! I study according to your lessons, it is very useful. Thank you very much for doing a good job. And could you drop the whole collection with these wonderful works?
Using inverted chords on the passing chords would help minimize the movement of the left hand and make it easier for the player. The 7th of note of the passing chord should be the root of the next chord.
Good explanation and a good way for spicing up a chord progression if used sparingly. Used all the time through an entire tune… not for me. Too much of a good thing isn’t always wonderful.
Definitely a fan of approaching with a dom7 from either above OR below. However if it's a maj7, or a m7, or a m7b5, the tritone no longer shares the 3 and 7. At that point it's less a tritone sub, and more a chromatic approach chord. And while it's true that the chromatic approach from ABOVE is a tritone away when doing V-I changes, no reason you can't also approach from below.
Fully understood the principle, very well explained. Too difficult to play for me, as a beginner. Spreading the chords LH/RH, alternatively root+3rd and root+7th no way for now :-)
Jonny, putting aside the actual lesson here for a moment (which as great), there's something ELSE in this video that hit me like a lightning bolt. You routinely use your thumb to play two adjacent notes at the same time!
Thank you for a fine lesson. Now, I think it’s a problem that F# is called Gb on your piano graphics. Yeah, it’s the same note on the piano, but if you are learning music theory and learning about building up chords in thirds, it’s a bit confusing to see a Gb where it should be F#. I’m sure you agree.
I like the way you wiggle your one finger on a key, as if you're trying to create a vibrato lol You must play guitar also 🙂 By the way, love your videos! The block chords is my favourite.

Best explanation I’ve heard, and I first read about tritone substitution nearly 15 years ago…wish I’d had this video back then!
Ah man you beat me to this by a day! Great video. Love the way you explain this so clearly.
Haha thanks Noah! I’m sure your video will be awesome. Can’t wait to check it out.
Wow hey Noah and Jonny! A nice chance here to tell you both thank you! At the same time haha. I've learned so much from your videos. Best wishes,

@@FelixSunMusic Hey Felix, thanks really glad to hear that 😃
Cheers man! 😃🎶
We jazz teachers are one big happy family here on UA-cam!
Great lesson! Clear, concise, and very useful.
Thanks Jonny! You explained this so well!
You are an amazing musician and teacher, I like all your videos. They are just so resourceful
Thank you so much!
You' re the best Jonny! Keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❣️❣️
Loved it Jonny - Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!

thank so very much. keep up the good work, and of course your fabulous playing. your enthusiasm is addictive. Top Man.
I open these utubes just so I can play the opening bits over and over, they sound so great. What a pianist.
I can sight read so easily the music you have but it's the understanding and taking it off the music that is tough!
I truly appreciate all of your help. One of the cords I would have done differently. After I get another piano, I will show you.
Really appreciate the easy to understand approach. Once again, this concept has eluded me until this point. And great choice of songs to show it on!
Just great Johnny. Just discovered your site and just think it’s the best jazz teaching method I was ever taught ! So clear, so simple, so much fun ! Thanks so much from France!
I love the way you go ooooo when you play a cool chord change. 😅
Maestro!!! This is great!!!!!!
Wow, that advanced version is PHAAT!!! Thanks for a great lesson!
Wow thanks for this explanation. I needed someone to spell it out for me step by step (half-step by half-step) like this.
Very clear illustration and great choice of song as example. Love it! Please keep these tutorials coming!
I really like your style and I'm paying more attention to the lessons!Thanks!!!
Nice explanation. Just curious about one thing, why the 3/4 time for the pickup notes, isn’t it just 4/4 with a rest on the first beat?
Best tips for me, thank you so much Jonny!
Coming from a classical background, it's interesting how this is similar to the Neapolitan chord (bII), but in classical music it's usually in first inversion (and it doesn't have the 7th), and then instead of resolving straight to the I chord, it goes to V then I.
Excellent explanation 😄 Simple, practical, and applicable immediately.
It's so true and sounds really cool. I've been using the French six on my guitar and it sounds good too. Almost like it was meant to be there LOL.
Hi Jonny, Excellent lesson. Very clear. I'm trying to teach myself jazz harmonizations and this has helped me a lot. Thanks.
It's amazing the way you explain and share your knowledge. It's not easy, but you make it posible to face our our limits. Thanks for that Johnny. Yo
Absolutly excellent Johnny. grand Bravo from Paris

I am not a pianist - I am a guitarist. This has been a very clear explanation of something that could be muddy. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you, sir.
Great Lesson. 👍Thank you Jonny

Thank you so much...beautiful clarity 😍

Sir ver good explanation and it is very useful

Truly, Truly.....AMAZING
Thanks, so helpful! Please more videos like this🙏
Wow man very clear explanation. I'm a guitar player but I learn a lot from the piano
One of the best explanation..
Great explanation Jonny, which I had met you years ago!
Well done Jonny, this is very helpful.
Amazing lesson! Thank you! I will check out your website!

Awesome, as usual 👌🏻
1000% Thank you!
Thanks for letting me look at this technique. I am Rev Rollen 😊. I also play trumpet and will use your technique to liven up my practice exercises.
I'm a guitarist & this was helpful. Thanks.
Cool tricks....thanx!
This is beautiful and simple!
Thankyou Jonny.

Outstanding info! Thanks!
Best teacher!
Love it Jonny ❤️❤️❤️
Fantástico viedo!! muchas gracias, Jonny!!
Fantastic content! Thank you!
I'm Highly Interested jonny. I would like to learn piano after seeing you play and teaching in a technical way.what should I do next?
ExceIlent lesson !!
Thanks 👍
Exactly what i'm looking for.
Would like to see a similar video for the entire song - is one available?
Great job!! 😃
Thanks 🙏 bravo merci, follow you 🎹🎼
cooooool thanx
Fully understood the principle, very well explained. Too difficult to play for me, as a beginner. Spreading the chords LH/RH, alternatively root+3rd and root+7th no way for now :-)
In spite of being a (7-string) guitar player, I enjoyed your fresh approach to Autumn Leaves!
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🔥🔥🌹🌹
Jonny, putting aside the actual lesson here for a moment (which as great), there's something ELSE in this video that hit me like a lightning bolt. You routinely use your thumb to play two adjacent notes at the same time!
Amazing video
Thank you
Fenomenal, Gracias!!!
C la substitution tritonique.
Merci pour les explications
I'd like to hear what you would do with a Beatles tune like "Here, There and Everywhere" or maybe a Jobim tune like "Wave" or "One Note Samba."
3:45 Money shot #1 😃
Very Nice ,
Wonderful
Thank you for a fine lesson.
Now, I think it’s a problem that F# is called Gb on your piano graphics.

That is cool stuff Jonny - add enough chords and the song plays itself🤣
Wow. Thx
