[@PianoWithJonny]

00:41 Exercise 1: 8th notes 04:39 Exercise 2: triplets 06:45 Exercise 3: patterns 09:30 Conclusion

[@elwafi2001]

The best exercise ever in blues , I have been playing classics for years and I learn a lot from this tutorial.

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's great, thank you for watching!

[@jimmyo878]

Finally someone is showing (displaying ) the notes played to the new guy who is bewildered trying to determine what was just played, who meanwhile goes back and forth freezing the screen gets frustrated and stops. Many can play the blues but teaching is a very separate art. This is just what I've been looking for Thank Jonny! Roes r red, water is wet on Jonny piano I will bet!

[@mikevilla7040]

😂😂👍🤟 thanks jonny!

[@andreaslovestocook]

Huge thumbs up on this one! Not a beginner pianist but the blues are completely new for me. This was great!

[@on4ayl]

That, was the best beginner blues lesson I've watched. After hundreds.

[@swirljet4245]

Fantastic - Thanks Jonny

[@2HellWUtube]

Seriously one of the best piano lesson channels I’ve come across.

[@olakolade6656]

Thx for this! My teacher showed me the midle C blues scale last week but I had no idea how to develop it. You've helped me alot!

[@brutalhamster365]

Great stuff! Blues scale itself is magic and every time touches my heart)

[@MohammedIsmail-ed6gx]

thanks شكرا

[@jwalker7277]

Thank you Johnny!!!...and i play trumpet😊

[@spacewalden8358]

Is the right hand fingering with only thumbs and middle thinger the best one ?

[@joshuajackson4742]

Space Walden why can’t you make your mind up AHAHAA

[@vegetathe4th376]

Great lesson! thanks Jonny

[@ukaymusiccenter]

thank you very good explanations

[@francescoloyola31]

Hey man, great channel! I was wondering if you or someone in the comments could explain why you are able to play notes outside of the blues scale when doing the left hand chords and it still sound good?

[@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

Great course: difficult for me coordinating the shuffle with the right hand. Any video about that?

[@whoatemychocolate4222]

If you join the PWJ website Jonny shows you how to coordinate the hands. Then it’s just a question of practice.

[@mrnettek]

I'm having the same problem. I can play either hand great...but, when together, I lose the rhythm.

[@davidfarmer2049]

4:00 I ve been wondering how to do that for half a century.

[@kellitaylor3502]

David Farmer me too plus 5

[@iamthekwan]

Thank you!

[@JKetchup99]

I'm starting to thumbs up Jonny's video before I even watch them.. coz I just know they gonna be GooOOOooOoD

[@TheTralfaz]

What he said..x

[@tomrees4812]

Is the fingering you’re using, thumb and middle mainly, the one you recommended whenever you use it or just running up and down?

[@OlivierGeoffrion]

Thank you for all these vidéos about blues and jazz ! Could you make one about Freddie Freeloader ?? 😉

[@brokenboy2423]

IV learnt so much 🙌 I don't play piano hard out but my hands just do things and I get a structure alllmost like blues 💙 will add this to my work

[@jimfromzerosurge4846]

Blues Hanon Exercises!

[@steve660917]

Thanks for these videos i appreciate the time and effort you put into them.

[@GuhfesantChannel]

Não entendo como um cara espetacular tem tão poucos inscritos, o mundo precisa conhecer Jhonny

[@mikevilla7040]

REAL music isn't ever glorified. But I want Jonny to be playing at my wedding and funeral. Keep it up Jonny!!

[@theguitarnoobph]

WHOAHHHH!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@XoXkS]

Can I ask you a question about the fingering? You play the scale excusivly with finger 1 and 3. Another side told me to use 4 fingers (Play it 1234134). I can play it much faster with your technique, but thinking that the other one allows more flexibility and thus is worth learning. Then again you're a pro, so maybe there's a reason for your technique too. So do you have any input on this? Thank you for the great video

[@silasgreene2479]

How would you recommend practicing exercise 2 for beginners? Ive only been playing for about a week and the hand coordination is really hard to get down. Exercise 1 was hard enough but now the triplets is a whole nother ball game

[@silasgreene2479]

Actually the example you showed at 5:03 is such a great help. I really appreciate that you played it nice and slow

[@michaeldonovan6076]

Learn your Blue's Scales left hand - right hand, both hands,, learn in 60 day's 3hrs a day 7 days a, week, when you practice a scale all hands on deck then learn that scale with your eyes closed or blindfolded for a fortnight when complete and your comfortable,,you will be proficient in that scale,,there are 12 scales each requiring the above training,, don't complain the best musicians are partially sighted or blind,the ones that can see claim they have mastered piano my guess is simple ask them to where a blindfold, then ask them to perform,,then you'll see my thinking, i know clasical pianists that fall at the helm when asked to where a blindfold,, I'm thinking hymm what college did they attend. The art of learning any instrument back to front blindfolded is to demonstrate ability in mastery and proficiency,, out of 100 % of musicians playing any instrument only 30% qualify 70% fail due to lack of training and having ability to understand there instruments with there eye's open,,just ask them to perform blindfolded you'll see there ability first hand. Happy practicing. 🎼👍

[@tonyhayes4980]

Very good

[@falcaoeagle6762]

very good exercices, tanks!

[@rodrigoaugusto3791]

very good man

[@hpkuma2770]

Thank you sir1👌👌👍😃

[@MarkusRoth_Germany]

Best tutorial for getting started with blues piano! The biggest problem for me, as probably for many, is playing hands independently. That means the left hand always plays the same pattern and the right varies rhythmically - triplets in particular always confuse my left hand. How do you practice that?

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed it! For improving your hand coordination, check this lesson out: pianowithjonny.com/piano-lessons/4-exercises-for-hand-coordination-on-piano/

[@andabien3]

Excellent. I am a great fan of deliberate practice and this gives me perfect ways to practice it. Thanks much.

[@markrionardkusnadi]

Hi how old are you sir? 😍

[@shader3020]

What are your thoughts about scale fingerings in regards to the blues scale? it looks like many books show a different fingering for ascending the scale than you do.

[@heidirachaelpieterse5109]

What are you doing with you left hand please?

[@musik102]

I guess this has been covered elsewhere, but it would have been nice to hear something about right hand fingering. I know that I can see it! But, what is the logic behind it?

[@davidfroman8281]

This is fantastic stuff! Thank you Johnny. Does the blue scale just follow the pentatonic scale with accidentals?

[@liamfitzpatrick72]

How long should the left-hand shuffle take to master on average ?

[@iberomagazine]

cool, thanxs

[@rogerioesposito2170]

Congrats, you are great. Makes me recall Oscar Peterson genious riffs, which I considered impossible to reproduced. Please send some exercises about rolling riffs with jumps in left hand, which turn to be the most difficult ones. You are a great teacher. We need people like you here, they are very few. Greetings from Brazil.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Rogerio Esposito Thanks! I teach blues rolls in depth in our 10-Lesson Blues Challenge. For the jumping left hand, I call this Burlesque Blues and we have 2 burlesque courses (Footsie Woman and Cruella De Vil courses). You can find these at PianoWithJonny.com.

[@rogerioesposito2170]

@@PianoWithJonny Thank you. I am following you up and will check out for these courses. They are challenging, not impossible. You got what I need to learn. Please keep in touch. All the best,

[@harrisongeiser2673]

I noticed when you are demonstrating a blues progression at 1:26 you are skipping the third of the chord. Is this common practice in blues?

[@markrionardkusnadi]

Thanks sir

[@benjaminmarquez1211]

jonny this exercises is the same for saxophone

[@joseantoniodruetalvarez4649]

Thanks Jonny! Incredible how I’m learning with you. Just one question pls, I’m looking for in your Webb , how to learn coordinate both hands, but I can’t find.

[@nacerharchaoui6956]

Hye Jonny! I'm New learning! M'y question I have difficultiy to play with my two hands?! Is there any practice to 'do for an easy playing!! Thanks bye

[@amenophisto]

Hi everybody. Somebody could tell me what is the software used in this video to make the class ?

[@matthias3991]

Hi, I am new to the scale and piano at all, does it really matter with which finger your play each note? Cheers in advance

[@rockmandingo69]

Super 👏👏👏

[@albertabouck2545]

I don't see what one does with the blues scale once its been learned. What do you do with it? I know my C scale .. maybe I could use to play every other note to make a cord..... ?

[@wahoodoss]

Are you using just your thumb and 3rd finger of your left hand? Cool lesson ... Thanks!!

[@Noname-yq4me]

excellent

[@thearno2885]

Does your site have hand independence exercises? I cannot do a shuffle in left and triplets in right

[@Will-il7qc]

Pter da wolf You should practice it VERY slowly with a metronome and then slowly work your way up. If you’re somewhat new to piano, it’s going to be impossible to play all these exercises at the tempo you want right away. Stick with it, and you’ll find that your hand independence will improve drastically.

[@jangolub8240]

Practice 3× this last month i was loosing nerves with it but now slowly it is sounding great.. practice left and right hand one at a time and then together.. you will soon get it and love it :)

[@PianoWithJonny]

Yes, we have multiple hand Independence exercises. We have blues hand Independence exercises in the 10-Lesson Blues Challenge, and for general hand independence exercises, we have the 2 Hand Coordination Course and Endless Epic Chords Course.

[@ernestodiaz4973]

HOLA COMO PUEDO CONDEGUIR PARTITURAS PARA PIANO DE BLUES Y BOOGIES?????GRACIAS

[@thinkaboutit964]

That's nice.. I'm weak in left fingering can u give tips to improve...

[@chinor.9055]

es necesario estudiar clasico para la tecnica de dedos?

[@gizmogpg]

Wow !

[@richardkraft6046]

What piano do you use we have a 1900's baby grand needs lots of work (thousands) I was thinking of buying a yamaha dgx660 what do you think?

[@JasonStar1]

You won't go wrong the sample sounds are quality these days. Will serve you far better
