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!
This was extremely helpful. Being self taught off of youtube it is easy to find the basics. But this information a level deeper to sound more professional and less generic is extremely valuable. Thank you!
My thoughts tooas I was watching this exactly. I was trying to glean bits of info from here and there on UA-cam…but not as a cohesive work through. This is perfect!😊
This lesson covers every single thing I'm stuck on in my playing!( I could be the poster child for amateurish accompaniment). Jonny , your videos never fail to enlighten and clarify the concepts in a way that really works for learning. Thank you!
Im that amateur pianist. Very educational, accessible and straight to the point without sacrificing clarity. Sobering to humble myself and accept i can do better. 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. Cant emphasize how much i appreciate your work.
Jonny understands what is at the heart of music: telling a story. We’re not just tapping keys in clever ways, it’s that we have something to say, and he’s one of the best I’ve seen at helping us bring those stories to life. Thanks Jonny!!
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.
As a teacher for any pianist please remember there is a progression to learning don't get frustrated. Think of it like stairs and we all go through those steps to grow.
I really don't understand how anyone can give this video a thumbs-down rating. PWJ's videos - and I do mean all of them - are so exceptionally good, helpful, engaging and to the point that I would love to have multiple thumbs-up to rate them. Please keep up your excellent work!
Apparently, "iT's tOo diFfiCulT" Bruh, no one has any obligation to cater to beginners, and they act like he doesnt have a playlist called "beginners" with hours of content
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.
Thank you. I'm a guitarist just starting to play around with piano and your lessons hit the spot. Compact and direct, they give a great overview and are very helpful in pointing the way to a general understanding of the piano as an instrument.
For the love of God, I’ve always try to explain this to my professors to know how I could improve. Maybe I couldn’t explain myself well. Thank you for the video this makes so much sense!!
Thank you so very much Jonny, that was another well defined and demonstrated and clearly put across the four methods of such useful grooves to make it all more comprehensive and understandable..., you must be completely clear headed and well- balanced to be able to make so much sense..., please keep up the great work 😑😌🙂
Nice one Jonny! When I first saw the title (as I'm subscribed) ---- I initially mis-read the title ..... and thought it said 'The 7 Signs of an Amateur Pianist' hahaha. Total mis-read here. Nice video once again Jonny. Thanks!
I'm only on bad habit number one and already I have a stack of new ideas flowing. I've been messing around with sus2 for decades (in the right hand) and never even though to use it in my left hand. Feeling pretty dumb right now, but also hugely grateful to have found this channel and, the website too!
Wish I came across this video before I played with a very awesome team last week. I am an amateur who is so inspired to do better with this video right here. Thank you so much.
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.
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!
Great lesson! In the defense of the "beginner patterns: you gave them a little bit less love (dynamic-wise) than the following progressions xP Ofc still a huge level-up, much appreciated! :)
I'm amazed with your talent Jonny.. i'm very thankful for reaching us and teaching us with your knowledge about piano.. and i think the best way to say thank you to you is to share the Gospel of Christ to you... and I just want to say to you that JESUS LOVES YOU! 😊

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

This is exactly what I was looking for for so long but couldn't find. Thank you so much sir! Nice and clear explanation. This will get me going (:
Glad it helped!
And what you said is exactly what I want to say to Piano with Jonny. Thank both of you!

I already am a member of PWJ, this one convinced me of being at the right place. Awesome lessons and such a friendly and motivating community 😊👍🏻
I think you meant "awesome".

I have learned so much more with four or five videos from this channel than with dozens of private lessons. Thanks a lot, Jonny!
Jonny understands what is at the heart of music: telling a story. We’re not just tapping keys in clever ways, it’s that we have something to say, and he’s one of the best I’ve seen at helping us bring those stories to life. Thanks Jonny!!
You are a blessing to all music learners!
I don't play the piano, but these concepts are definitely applicable to music (other instruments) in general.
Much appreciated.~
I like this lesson, this is great ideas to teach advance students that don’t want to learn classical music.

That’s enough for a next few years practicing! Thanks so much!
One of your best videos thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So many pop and worship songs could be used with these. Thanks for sharing Jonny. Love it!
Hi Jonny! Your videos gives me depression. I am playing it for almost 10 years but these mistakes were never identified on me.
Thank you. I'm a guitarist just starting to play around with piano and your lessons hit the spot. Compact and direct, they give a great overview and are very helpful in pointing the way to a general understanding of the piano as an instrument.
The best video tutorial for accompaniment! Thank you, Jonny!
Wow this is a great video thanks man. I want more of these.
You keep giving nice lesson johnny, I really enjoyed your lesson
This is what I have been looking for. Thank you very much.
Many thanks for this lesson, exactly what I needed
I’m a vocalist who sings light jazz and standards….this has bumped my accompanying myself greatly ….highly recommend.
Brilliant lesson. Thank you!
For the love of God, I’ve always try to explain this to my professors to know how I could improve. Maybe I couldn’t explain myself well.
Thank you for the video this makes so much sense!!
I love those tipps! Well appreciated - presented exactly the way I need them! Gr from germany...
love this! Beautifying piano play. Thks Johnny for very detail explanation.
Will recommend this lesson, Jonny; there's so much information

Glad it was helpful!
You’re a GODSEND. ❤Thank you, Jonny for sharing your knowledge and skill. 🙏🏼
Johny, simply you are The Best! Thanks so much, like always
Thank you so very much Jonny, that was another well defined and demonstrated and clearly put across the four methods of such useful grooves to make it all more comprehensive and understandable..., you must be completely clear headed and well- balanced to be able to make so much sense..., please keep up the great work 😑😌🙂
Great presentation!! Thanx Jonny, I really appreachiate😃 Your lessons 😎
My pleasure!
sign #8: accompanist forgets what chord comes next and stops playing in the middle if the song.
Wow! This awesome! I've taken down notes and will be trying them out? Thank you, Jonny!
Sneaking in some quartal harmony for the newbs, very nice.
Nice one Jonny! When I first saw the title (as I'm subscribed) ---- I initially mis-read the title ..... and thought it said 'The 7 Signs of an Amateur Pianist' hahaha. Total mis-read here. Nice video once again Jonny. Thanks!
Great tutorial! I love the way you break it down.
This video is amazingly helpful!!
I'm so glad!
wow that was very very useful. you are an amazing teacher. thank you so much

Awesome and congratulations for your clear english!!!
Thank you so much. This is what I was looking for. I will check your website as well

Best free lessons with true devotion ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Man what a quick way to change boring in to beautiful.
Really good stuff in here, thanks!
Thank you for the wonderful information.

Great, clear and straightforward. Thank you ! 😊
I love this tutorial.
Thank you.👍
It's really very very helpful for me . Thankyou so much
It’s hard for us amateur pianists to match your insane skill-level… ;)

I felt obliged to comment on your video. This is by far the best piano video I have ever seen on YT. Thanks for sharing.
Wow thanks you so much sir jonny for sharing this piano technique..i always learn from you.. your a great teacher 👍👍..godbless always
Thank you Johnny, great clear, fun tips that help so much!
Great lesson!
In the defense of the "beginner patterns: you gave them a little bit less love (dynamic-wise) than the following progressions xP
Ofc still a huge level-up, much appreciated! :)
This is very helpful, thank you for sharing.
Haha, I’ll be happy when I get to the point of being called an “amateur accompanist”!😜 great video, thanks!
