I love it when you add the fingering on both right and left hands. Keep it up. Thx

Really terrific lesson. Thank you so much. I especially loved the sound of the whole tone scale over the dominant 7 chord.

I just began Hal Leonard Jazz Piano Method Book 1, and it shows what the whole tone scales are, but don’t really explain, as you do, how to use the scales or “notes in that scale” with the various types of chords (7th, aug). Thanks!

[@stevesomerdin9928]

Same reason I was brought here

[@josephmartino9958]

Monk is an expert with his use of the whole tone scale

Part of the reason I prefer lydian over Ionian (natural major) scale is the raised fourth degree, creating a rather eerie/dreamy tone. Phrygian dominant, the double harmonic major, and even (as strange as it may...err...SOUND) the major locrian scale. Ionian has actually always sounded a bit...off, or sad, then it hit me upon stumbling upon the modes, the mediant chord is actually phrygian, which in the minor scale, is the also the fifth, but phrygian is a type of minor sounding scale all on it's own! Hence, in my elementary school choir, I was singing in these different modes and scales, including the whole tone scale, without even "knowing" they really existed!!

Sometimes there ought to be a higher rating than a like.

[@musikistmeinetherapie]

Wonderful Videos you do 🌹 thanks a lot

[@ewallt]

Dream sound thing was really cool. I wonder if there’s a way of mimicking a train with the WT scale.

[@12Keys]

Omg magic😍

[@spencersworldofmusic9686]

Nice sir johnny. Vey impormative. How about the scale of phrydian. Mode .use in augmented chords is it works?

[@chuckgenco]

I have a request. I am a member of Piano with Jonny. When the videos are on the site, the links you mention in the video are not added to the text in the course. They should be. For example, here you mention "Scales for Improv on 7th Chords". On the site I need to dig for that lesson by searching and don't always find the exact lesson. It's even worse when I remember you mentioned another video in the "4 amazing whole tone scale tricks" lesson. I then listen to the video again for the exact name use used and search. A link in the text on the site would fix that and it would be so much simpler.

When playing over a Dominant 7th chord (say C E G Bb) if the left hand has the fifth in it, there will be a clash if you play Ab over that (with the G), which can be avoided by just playing C E Bb. This clash isn’t necessarily bad, as if you’re moving quickly, it’s not really noticeable, but I was curious if this was inadvertent or intentional.

[@Phrygian12]

He played a shell voicing for it. But when he goes on to show you D7 he has the 5th (A) in the voicing of that chord. A dominant 7 chord creates tension that wants to resolve to the tonic chord. So adding more tension on it is just building it up more to hear it resolve. However, you’re mileage may vary. Just like all tension notes, they’re probably not a note you want to sit on unless you’re really trying to build a lot of tension. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just experiment with the sound that’s coming from using it.
