    That is by far my favourite Piano with Jonny lesson. Not only because of the chords, but also because of the rhythm patterns. Instant funk! Thank you so much for sharing 🎶🔥

    at my level of amateurish intermediate, this is the most useful video that I have watched on youtube. I am not saying it is or is not the best but at my level and my love for funk, this is definitely the most useful. Thanks Jon and Jonny

    Hi. Drummer transistioning to piano. Love the lesson. Hard for me right now, but what a nice surprise to see my old friend Bobby Hebb! I knew him up in Massachusetts when I was very young in the 70s. He was good friends with my mom and dad.

    Thanks for the instructional video.
    For me, the chord that instantly proclaims "funk" is a (dominant 7)#9.
    Used to great effect on the Clavinets and electric guitars during the 1970s.

    @yvesjeaurond4937 Рік тому

    Thank you. Helpful. Hip. Btw, in example 1, the 16th at the end of the bar is coming in late. I solve errors like this by using downbeat counting---subdivisions before the beat: "ta-ta-ta-4/" ta-ta-ta-1/ ...; for eighths, it would be "and 2/" and 3/ and 4/ and 1... Note how the "tatata" or the "and" is kept with the => next

    Great! Why change the key of Strassbourg? On the record it seems in A-flat (B-flat min 9 -> C min 9 -> D flat Maj 7). And the bass has a slight different pattern? But thanks, inspiring!

  • @ulizarembach3747
    @ulizarembach3747 Рік тому +1

    OK, you are playing the chords with two hands/ten fingers.
    My left hand is damaged and I'm able to play only bass notes with my left thumb.
    Therefore I have to split the chords in my head...
    Your first chord is c-9 (big letter "C" is a major chord, small letter "c" is a minor chord)
    In my head it is d#-maj7/C (or eb-maj7/C)
    Is this right?
