I ain't sure WHY UA-cam only jus shown this channel and Amazing Musician to me AFTER like 5yrs+- after it was uploaded to UA-cam!! I immediately subscribed n liked!! Wonderful pianist!!! So grateful n nice to listen to your playing
Dude! you're back with this incredible Funk Groove stuff! That means I'm back with Funk groove practicing! The wait was so worth it! Thanks very much for your work, it is very appreciated. Top of the line!
Jonathan. You sir are a legend, a gentleman and a scholar. I cannot thank you enough for the content you put out. You deserve everything good that comes your way. Peace brother.
wow! great tutorial, always wanted one like this where you show the full speed, slow speed, then the broken down bits for the beginners! 5 stars, would love to see more of these!
Dude...what a music and what a performance! dynamics and articulations so nuanced! Bravo. And thanks, of course, for the generosity of sharing all of this.
After hearing this masterpiece, I build up a new view on Funk. With the help of the video, i taught myself how to play it and it just so amazing. I appreciate all the hard work and Love that was put into this and it really is one of the best Funk composition i have heard so far. I am waiting impatiently for new compositions and keep up the amazing work!!!
The vertical view of the piano it reminds me of those old stereos where it would show you a visualization of the frequencies and relative volumes. Kinda retro, I like it!
You are awesome to teach this...really missed your work for several years...glad to see you back. I'm eagerly awaiting what you will come up with. Thanks so much for your instruction, Jonathon...
Good morning Your style is beautiful and well paced. I love it and I think a lot of people think the same as me too. I am an experienced beginner, I had difficulty keeping up, but I got there despite everything and every day of rehearsal. Continue other songs, I follow all your videos. BRAVO BRAVO
Jonathon, I'm glad to see you're aging well. Awesome post. I love this piece. It has a lot more motion than some other funk pieces that are a bit more repetitive.
25:26 for me right hand goes to V (C7) from Gmin7 and left hand goes to root and fifth of Gb7 which is tritone sub for C7. So you're playing Gb7 and C7 at the same time hence the "jazzy feel".
This is epic. I'm at the bridge, and that left hand is so much fun. Once you get it, it locks in and I start bouncing. You have made me realize that I'm actually a decent piano player. Until I get to the tremolo...and my whole body tenses up and shakes left to right with my hand. 🙄 Edit...3 weeks later and I'm at the end. My body and hands are relaxed (which only became a thing with this song) and I'm feeling like a pro. I've only had the weekends to practice this, and I'm super stoked that I finally made it to the end. You are a legend! Thank you for being my teacher, and not even knowing it.
This is just a masterpiece of music. Really like to hear it over and over again. Made it to the end of the second page on my piano and will try further. Please keep on creating such great stuff.
amazing talent, I love all the funk grooves I have seen from you and much appreciated the 30 blues licks you posted a while back! Like Oliver Twist would say "Please sir, can I have some more!?"
I’ve learnt this and the one in F, they are two of my favourite pieces to play. I’d love it so much if you could do a tutorial on the old groove in G from years ago. Thanks so much for enriching my playing
So YOU'RE the guy who does the wicked soundtrack for the Gran Turismo Home Screen! Seriously Jonathon, love your content man. Makes me want to learn how to play piano (been playing guitar for years).
Thanks a million from W.A. Australia, Jonathon. Second day; I'm starting to sound better and better. Fantastic way to spend time when you have a flu and it's raining.
Hey Jonathon, I am preparing an 18 minute TED talk for next month called "Love Thy Piano - like you love yourself". I hope it's okay to use parts from this fantastic funk groove for it to finish it off - please let me know if it's not. I have added some melody and lyrics "two and three - give it all to me" and it's such a powerful finish "keep on playing - making your music dreams come true". I love it. Thank you again!
Hey Jonathon, I remember learning your creazy funk riffs you had posted almost ten years ago from now, I was 12, still trying to perfect them Your lines inspired me so much since then, defo an inspiration 4 my career Keep it up !
Thank you so much! I’ve been watching your videos. The first few videos I’ve watched didn’t have the ‘slowing down without explanation’ part, and I found that part extremely helpful for myself. So thank you for taking that advice and adding that part. It’s a great composition to say the least. Thank you again!
I’ve played Jonathon’s funk grove Each song has its own personality’ so if you can make another funk song I’d love to play it / All the practical tests I took at school during this time were funk groove’s!!
Jonathan, you're aging well, I wish I still had mostly dark hair! Your stuff is awesome, thank so much. Way more than I can handle but it's a great exercise for me to try. You have a great feel.
Thanks Jonathon for being such a great source of inspiration with your music! Having such extraordinary feel for the groove is a rare skill indeed for pianists! You're not a percussionist as well by any chance? :-) Btw, after finally freeing some time for practicing I finished my recording of your groove but am still bowing to the master himself! Keep grooving! :-)
Jonathan,thank you for this and all the other stuff you did.Im also a pianoplayer,but it is not about playing keys...it about music.thanks wilson..have a nice day!!
I absolutely love you one. I'm nowhere near the advanced fire but your work has inspired me to attempt this music. I'm at about 70 beats per minute so still a long way to go. And I've only made it through like half the song so far :-) but thanks for inspiring other musicians
Thank you very much. This is so awesome. I just had to go and learn it - even though I don't play piano ! But now I know this awesome groove. Thank you very much once again.
Hi Jonathon, I'm new to the channel and it's really cool stuff you're sharing, unbelievable that it's for free...absolutely generous❤..your style and playing is on eye level with ie. Matt Johnson of Jamiroquai. I'm a professional Saxophonist but I'm teaching myself the piano and I'm deeply in love with funk grooves of this kind...your videos really help in developing as a player in that style👌
@@groovewindow oooow realy !!! my daughter is so happy, this is so great ! you made my day which was not as good as expected when I woke up. thumb up on your sound cloud too. I just love people on internet
I see some rythmic pulses you use with your left hand that aren't in the sheet music. This means I actually have to do some work to even try to sound the way you're playing it! I've said it before but this really is a great piece for my level. What a challenge.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the quality and the quantity Jonathon is putting out there for FREE?
Andy Mir I agree. Such a generous human being 😊
Just discovered this channel and I'm blown away. Great stuff.
Real Human is always Communist. Thanks, comrade Jonathon!
Thanks so much Jonathon - great stuff!
well said , quality !!!
Damn. Don't think I've ever subscribed to a channel this fast.
We still love you Jonathon. You inspired me to learn piano. You are the funkiest person I've ever had the pleasure to hear.

Jonathon you knock my socks off! Not only your groove is flabergasting, but you are also an excellent teacher!
Smokin'! This old duck is excited about practicing again thanks to you. I'm bowled over by your talent and generosity. Thank you so much 😊😊😊
You have brought greatness and honor to your name and all those who bear it. Thank you for pursuing excellence and sharing your reward with the world.
Oh wow! The funk legend is back! Excellent!

This channel is unbelievable
Dude...what a music and what a performance! dynamics and articulations so nuanced! Bravo. And thanks, of course, for the generosity of sharing all of this.
This tutorial is very thoughtful and I like the way you put all the timing point and all the resources online. Please keep up your great work!

Welcome back, John! I'm loving the new funk groove!
Very funky jono almost like it as much as your version of tune 88 brother
Good morning

I have been watching you for years and you are by far the most talented piano player today
Oh wow! What a gift, great to see you back. Me and my brand new Nord are very happy to see you back in the South of France! 🎹🎹🎹😎😎😎
Thanks Jonathan! Great riff & great demo with sheet music above
Jonathon, I'm glad to see you're aging well. Awesome post. I love this piece. It has a lot more motion than some other funk pieces that are a bit more repetitive.
This guy is a treasure.
I learned and played the bridge ( just the bridge ) in front of my teacher and she said it was amazing , thanks a lot man
Nice!
Best video I've seen for a very long time. Looking forward to having a go at it later! Thanks a lot, keep them coming!
Just what I was waiting for! It's amazing! I'll learn this for sure! Thank you Jonathon for sharing this with us!
the funk genius is back!! awesome stuff dude
So much Joy! Thank you Jonathon. Gratitude from Australia
Dude. Amazing talent. Amazing content
25:26 for me right hand goes to V (C7) from Gmin7 and left hand goes to root and fifth of Gb7 which is tritone sub for C7. So you're playing Gb7 and C7 at the same time hence the "jazzy feel".
No, I change my mind. Infact you're playing Gb7#9b13 leaving third out. Which is a great tritione sub for C7.
You are the best funk teacher on UA-cam, and a hell of a player! Thank you for helping me so much already, even at this preliminary stage!
This is epic. I'm at the bridge, and that left hand is so much fun. Once you get it, it locks in and I start bouncing.
You have made me realize that I'm actually a decent piano player. Until I get to the tremolo...and my whole body tenses up and shakes left to right with my hand. 🙄

You´re the MAAAN!!! Just got it "under my fingers" as you keep saying! Great piece! Thanks for sharing and teaching!!!! Christoph from Vienna Austria
This is just a masterpiece of music. Really like to hear it over and over again. Made it to the end of the second page on my piano and will try further. Please keep on creating such great stuff.
Pffffff. This gives us something to work on for Christmas holiday. Thanks Jonathon for sharing this brilliant tutorial! Great value!

That was excellent!! Great stuff!!
This is so great. Thanks for sharing the sheet music and backing tracks.

Your lines inspired me so much since then, defo an inspiration 4 my career
Keep it up !
Not gonna lie- I didn't expect this man to be this funky.
Thank you so much! I’ve been watching your videos. The first few videos I’ve watched didn’t have the ‘slowing down without explanation’ part, and I found that part extremely helpful for myself. So thank you for taking that advice and adding that part. It’s a great composition to say the least. Thank you again!
Didn't even realize they wrote expressions in sheet music defining these licks and techniques. Very interesting to follow along.
Why do you introduction such a great technics for free?
You are the top pianist for me in youtube!
Great teaching style, very helpful! Love the groove.
I’ve played Jonathon’s funk grove
Each song has its own personality’ so if you can make another funk song
I’d love to play it / All the practical tests I took at school during this time were funk groove’s!!
incredible hot licks right one after another, you are magician
Jonathan, you're aging well, I wish I still had mostly dark hair! Your stuff is awesome, thank so much. Way more than I can handle but it's a great exercise for me to try. You have a great feel.

Jonathon Wilson, you're a saint.
Thank you for creating what i needed i feel this will elavate me to the next level thank you so much
I just love this lick! I'm trying to improvise over it using my alto sax...❤
Awesome! I just started taking a look at the No.4 in B-flat and am enjoying it a lot. Now I have this to look forward to, too. Thanks!
I LOVE THIS!!! So freaking smooth!
I absolutely love you one. I'm nowhere near the advanced fire but your work has inspired me to attempt this music. I'm at about 70 beats per minute so still a long way to go. And I've only made it through like half the song so far :-) but thanks for inspiring other musicians
