Out of all the videos I watched on you tube about swing piano yours was the best. You gave exercises to help instead of just talking thank you 🙏🏾

[@anizargarian7883]

Thank you for your clear & simple explanation for a complicated rhythm

[@jackladd4332]

Love ya Jonny mate. If everyone was like you God would come and live with us. Have a beautiful weekend my friend and many many thanks for these wonderful videos. You make lots of people happy.

[@PianoWithJonny]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Jack.

[@HungHingPang]

You explained the Swing concept really well! Thank you.

[@feliciaseigler653]

Ooh, I can't wait to try this at the piano! I'd never played Jazz before starting with Piano With Jonny, and I think this will really help me get the feel of it! Being one of those classically trained pianists I struggle with getting the right rhythm for Jazz, but I'm determined to get it! :) Thanks Jonny!

Hello I'm your opposite 👋🏽 My music theory and general piano playing level is fairly basic, but I can swing 🙌🏽 It's about the only thing I don't struggle with haha Good luck with getting that swing, and maybe one day I'll be able to sight-read at higher than kindergarten level 😂

[@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

Great as usual. Even if I already know certain things, your explanations are always very clear and useful.

[@davidreidenberg9941]

Thinking of the 8h. note as a long, short triplet is only an approximation. It’s fine at a slow to medium tempo. As the tempo speeds up though, those swing 8ths. would normally get somewhat closer to even 8th. Otherwise it sounds like Lawrence Welk swing.

[@rogerioesposito2170]

Very useful again, master. On practice already. Thanks.

[@FirstContactt]

This video was amazing. I'm currently taking traditional piano lessons and a jazz song cropped up into one of the practice songs so I was hoping to get a feel for the swung eighth notes in it....and got so much more. I think I just fell in love with jazz piano a little bit. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!!!

[@jnmyers62]

Wow that was great. Thanks.

[@davidbruce7244]

Generous and helpful.Thank you.

[@Berman163]

Excellent video man!

[@Heylomusicmusic]

Great breakdowns!

[@volkerzimmer9856]

...Instead "Long" and "Short", I would prefer "Long" and "Late"' because the term "Short" ist an Artikulation to me! Greetz from Germany!

[@ChickenSoup736]

This is the one I'm looking for!

[@kurzweilpc490]

Please lessons about BEBOP !!! THANKS

[@jackladd4332]

Wow bebop. One of my favourite styles of music. Imagine how they must have felt when they gave birth to it in the 50's. Bebop. Pure Magic.

Super teacher

[@ВасилийДорожкин-й7и]

There's a mistake in the last example - Jonny plays Cmaj7 2 times instead of Cmaj7-C6

[@AyeshaShaSha]

The question we all are asking... How short are the shorts? 🤣🤣

[@carmenip6924]

Damn the accent with upbeat is so difficult for me

[@1512592011]

I know a lot about the rules... I just try to break them ... a little from time to time. Try a new note/riff into a normal scale ...like 2-5-1. Dm7-G and C...in all the forms to play these 3 chords.

[@ziyuncheng2402]

intro: the first way and the second way are no different in rhythm ...simply different in phrasing How come??🙄🙄 They ARE different in rhythm🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@ChanceQian]

Brilliant tutorial, like it!
