très bonne vidéo sur les montunos

[@Dan_s_Channel]

Great 👏🏻

[@ewaryks]

Great lessons, I played some of montuno at Berklee and it was a nice reminder. It is very important to klick rhythm with accents. What I might need is how to play montuno on different chord progressions. How to think to make it on major scales. Thanks, your classes are really valuable!!!

[@circuloviciosamente]

Thanks Jonny for these tips. In the next video it would be good if you talk about the 3/2 patterns that you are using here and the differences with the 2/3.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

I seen this thing in my drum book. There are a bunch of these Latin things. Lot to know.

[@gabriel-dan4098]

Any chance we can get a course on a full montuno arrangement @PianoWithJonny?

[@davaxschinko]

Olé !

[@user-rm9sk7ld9w]

Good job, wish you lived in my apartment building 😂

[@marstudios7879]

Now, we’re talking 🎉about

[@naeraavetisyan5353]

💃💃💃💃

[@brandonmoore7156]

These feel like a very sterile, Western interpretation of Montunos. The clave gets lost, or ignored completely. These Montunos and progressions would never be found in any reputable Latino songs,

[@trevormckinnon6696]

Could it be that Jonny that won't make it authentic otherwise he'd be accused of stealing the Montuno from the Cubans?

[@Samuel-xv5lm]

Can you link some songs with Montunos?

[@winstonwolfe5733]

​​@@Samuel-xv5lmthe entire Fania production, Palmieri etc...

[@avsystem3142]

Here's news for you. Cuba is a "Western" country (relative to Europe, which is where the distinction arises).

[@hughkremer4026]

It's. A. Piano. Lesson.
