Jonny, you have come a long way in your teaching since this video was made. I've been following you for a long time but when I came across this video, I nearly fell out of my chair when you listed everything you were going to do......enough for 10 videos! LOL
2651 progression taught like this should have 100s of thousands of views after one year - wish I had seen it 10 years ago. Jonny, I suggest putting the names of those famous 2651 standards in the title of your video, or as part of the video description - I think it would get 10x the hits.
Thanks for all the great videos Jonny. This is probably a very basic question, but can you comment briefly re why/when to change from a minor 6th to a major? My understanding is that the "naturally" occurring 6th in that progression is a minor. Perhaps it's just a matter of personal preference in the particular song?
+Piano With Jonny Lessons This is probably just confusion on my part due to lack of theory education, but if this is the I-vi-ii-V progression in the key of C, I thought the vi and ii chords are minor, based on the diatonic triads of the C major scale. Not trying to pull you into a long discussion on a Friday night, but I certainly appreciate the help!
B13 is #5 I assume. I've never seen it written as a b13 before in the books I own. Even when there is a 7th and a 9th in the chord, they always say #5, but once you know, it doesn't change much.
Ragtime is just a bibop but with jumping left hand :) You have to practice this "octave -> chord" jumps for month and you'll have it. You have to keep in mind that ragtime IS mimic of playing blues on two banjos by two players. All melodic passages and approaching passes are stuck to banjo tuning and traditional common-wide way of fingering four strings there with recognizable "country" groove.
It's not just independence. Thees "jumps" in left hand with "ragtime" style is very hard technically 'cause you need month of tough practice to feel "distance" your hand is traveling in the air. Ragtime sounds playful and light but it requires very advanced technical skills :) Some kind of professional joke i guess.
This "teaser" video has got me thinking it might be a good investment to take Jonny May's complete course on turnarounds. Here is a link I made to a transcript of this mini-lesson: www.noteflight.com/scores/view/3c3707451c82dae508845bef3ba30dbafcbad8a6
This theory in chord voicing is useless because you're actually doing reverse engineering here. You already know chords that sounds great and trying to find out the rule they've been built. But there were no rules. They were found by practice and experience often spontaneously. You could provide 10 voicing options or 101 or even 1001, it doesn't matter 'cause you always have to deal with melody and choose one that fits great in this particular case. When the task (the problem) has unlimited number of solutions - there's no task at all. It's meaningless. I mean - you're absolutely right, but this is useless.
Whether one realizes it or not everything only ‘sounds great’ if it works and it only works if it’s logical, ie theoretical and that applies to everything in music. So I thing you’re wrong there.
littleboy437 yes he does, but so do a lot of these vid guys, seems they like the sound of their own voices, plus they want you to pay for lessons so you aint gonna get too much for free 😡🤪

This is such a cool sounding chord progression! Thank you Sir Johnny! And the bass line... Ahhhhhhhh! Awesome!
Rock on!
"Root, 7th, 3rd + cool chords & drop the 5th" I can remember that! You are an excellent teacher!
I enjoy your way to playing
Best of the best Jonny sir

This is a great video. Thank you 😊
Thanks!
Great..! Liked the way of teaching.
ДЖОНИ, КЛАССНО!!!
this guy is so cool
Hi Jonny, really like your videos. You inspire me in exploring other musical styles. Thanks and best regards, Alwin
yeeeeeea Jonny thankyou bro

Hi Jonny... do you have a video/ lesson showing this and other bass lines??? Txs A
Senior man oo😀👍👍
The best turnaround tutorial
Perhaps this would be the main of these lesson. 11:43
Thanks for your nice tutorial but could you please tell me why do we have to flaten the 9 and 13 in A?
No rule. It just sounds great. It's a world's repository of cool chords. You're welcome :)
It's a choice, no reason
When he goes from a scale to another, is it modulation ?
Yeah
Realy nice tutorial :D
Do a tutorial on the song making whoppee pls
Do you have beginner courses for someone who wants to get started with jazz piano?
Be nice to see a lesson on Simon Smith and his dancing bear.. Only ever seen one but it was totally confusing..
Just a suggestion.
B13 is #5 I assume. I've never seen it written as a b13 before in the books I own. Even when there is a 7th and a 9th in the chord, they always say #5, but once you know, it doesn't change much.
In context a G b9 13 sounds pretty spicy. (Ab instead of A)
can you make a video on ragtime?
+Piano With Jonny Lessons
is it expensive?
do i have to sign up?

hi jonny may
Master greeting from Venezuela. do you have Midi file ? Patterns and licks ?
I want to play like that...struggling with hand independence

Hi Jonny... got the right hand and the bass line tonic..but can you please write the walking bass line on this lesson...please , struggling!! Txs

For beginner, it's waayy too complicated 😅
