      Hi Jonny. Can you do similar tutorial on jazz comping? How to make it more interesting?

    • @lindamcdermott2205
      @lindamcdermott2205 3 роки тому

      Cool. First correction you made the remedy reminds me exactly of LH on Titanic by James Horner.( not same key) After years of sight reading you automatically do some of these because of good composers who proceeded you.

    I've been playing for over 40 years, pretty traditional then classical and jazz training. This is gold. Never really had a pop accompanist perspective, and you really lay it out there simply and clearly. Liked and subscribed.
    THANK YOU!

  • @andrewdeac5577

    I was expecting a accompaniment like in a band setting, but everything you played was outstanding. I am a beginner/intermediate bassist, where the 4 chord progression one of the most boring things to listen to, and you made Pop progressions sound interesting, bright, and alive. This video was so much fun just listening to you play.

  • @criss719
    @criss719 3 роки тому +6

    I’m stuck in a stride style left hand. This style also helps me keep time. I can use block chords and arpeggios, but they sound terrible. When it comes to accompanying, especially in a band, I’m really at a loss.

    Habit #7, No Story Telling, I think is the most valuable skill to strengthen, which I see is the combination of #1-6 😀. Not only for pop style, but it’s cousin Contemporary Christian, desperately needs “ebb and flow” to take the song experience to the next level. Thank you for this lesson, I’ll have to check out some more and add them to the toolbox as well!

    I don't know if I'm relieved or disappointed that you didn't call me out on anything I do, haha. It's good to know my accompaniment sounds professional (it ought to, I AM a professional) but now I have a nagging doubt that maybe there's something I've been doing that's been marking me as unprofessional in other ways.

And not only could both players and composers learn from this video but content creators too. No nonsense. Just helpful practical tips. I appreciate these great tips so im writing this comment out of gratitude. But now i need to absorb this new information and let it make me a better composer and pianist. Cheers again.

      @by_la.a 3 роки тому

      The stuff in this video is more pop oriented, whereas in jazz there’s a lot more melody in the right hand and it uses other scales. But I think this can help you to get more comfortable with playing chords.
