I am wondering, what application are you using so that it will be shown above what you are pressing on your piano keyboard? Thanks. For educational purposes only.

I'm a one-finger-piano-player.... :-) never played piano before BUT... i tried your exercise and a new world opened in front of my eyes. The day after you posted this exercise, i decided to start getting piano lessons... and now it's the thing i love more in my life!!! thank you very much! Ah i forgot to tell you: I'm 64 years old :-)

Congrats! Sounds wonderful! Hope you've improved!

Let's all appreciate Jonny May for good videos

[@Opus332]

yes!

[@RubyBandUSA]

Happy 2023 Jonny!

[@brucetowell3432]

I subscribed for a year or two, and was very satisfied with the instruction. In fact, there are almost to many courses and I found myself getting distracting going from one to another. I'm used to having that personal instructor who would NOT allow me to wonder off. But Jonny seems to have the best teaching videos going. Highly recommend subscribing.

[@andreasumbach]

If anybody's wondering why the flat keys are more common in Jazz music, it's because they're easier to play for the brass and sax players.

[@jimsskot1]

I would love to see more lessons About how to use those diatonic chords in inversions in any tunes and some exercises and voiceleading lessons for the right hand. Thanks

[@docnqa9500]

you are incredable teaching I will keep in mind that you are inspiring me to play piano with 58 year age and no nothing about jazz and can't read the music note. I will remain you as idol to play. great thanks with excellence lesson

[@JamesRichardsonOrg]

Your instruction is excellent in every way

[@cuttymarchan5848]

Essential tips! Thank you Jonny. I've been playing for over twenty years but have never had lessons in jazz piano so clearly explained and broken down. This will take my playing to a whole new level. Thanks again 🙏

[@RockRabot007]

I'm a sax player and these exercises are just as valuable.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Awesome!

[@jillhendrickson1700]

Jonny is the best! Even his exercises are cool songs. I learn more from Jonny in 2 minutes than from anyone else’s 1-hr lecture.

[@pattiepepper6217]

Thank you so much, Jonny! I was trying to learn Jazz piano from in-person lessons, but NO ONE really had any excercises or technique tips. I'm the type of student that needs deliberate practice in order to master skills. Unfortunately, many teachers I run into say I will just "pick it up" and to give it time. Well, 20 years later, I'm still confused. Until, I found you! Thank you so much for your insights and methodologies. Thank you also for all your hard work and creating this channel. I will definitely be buying some of your courses. Many many thanks!💖

[@millerbrown4661]

Jonny is my guy! The GOAT of piano teachers. Period!

[@DonyaLane]

I have a young piano student who is just about ready to start learning diatonic 7th chords. I like the right hand arpeggios incorporated here, because it makes it more realistic and fun for a young musician!

[@sagewinter6899]

I love how the chords chase the single notes up the progression, and then single notes chase the chords back down. Great exercise! Thanks Johnny 🙏

[@jesseroper1206]

Your videos are so helpful. Thanks so much!

[@gisellerogers6774]

This is AMAZING! as a classically trained pianist it is so well explained. As I get older, I love jazz more and more as it's so interesting to the ear. Can't wait to check out more videos. Your blues video I've seen is excellent too!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@learnpianofastonline]

I am more involved with blues playing right now than jazz per se so I am more inclined to work on that but I do plan to be playing more jazz as I go along so this helps me rekindle my training.

[@aphrodite728]

What a big marvelous pianist and teacher too, you are !!! Thank you very much indeed Dear Jonny May !

[@美意識水原]

It has been several bideos that I'm watching now and to be honest your channel is really really really nice. There is so many things to learn in Piano and it hard to heard about them sometimes. Diatonic I would probably take more time to heear about it but thanks to you I learn many many things. Thank you very Much Jonny! Hope you doing well !

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you for watching, so glad that you're learning from them!

[@franciscop.4099]

You are just great, Jonny!. I just subscribed, it all starts now...

[@Hyrdar]

Thanks Jonny!!!! I come from a classical education, and i've been struggling for years in the attempt to learn some jazz piano technique. I'm quite sure this will help me.

[@alpeme55]

Excellent Jonny!,... Thanks for sharing your knowledge! GOD BLESS YOU Alberto : )

[@VolklRunner]

Excellent, Thanks.

[@Dopameme]

Great video, been playing classical piano for a while but never really got into learning Jazz. This is a good starting point and I was able to play some of the stuff from this video EDIT: Because of this video, I signed up for a free trial of your Piano w/ Jonny Course and so far the information is very useful and practical (I was able to almost instantly apply it). I will likely keep it and pay for at least a month or two. Thanks!

[@allanmunsami1767]

awesome teacher.

[@rogeralleyne9257]

Really thoughtful lesson on jazz development!!! Thank you!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@blueeyedsoulman]

I would then play them with left hand inversions around middle C. Not just in root form although that's a good visual startup. Try to keep the chords between F below middle C and G above middle C for a guide. Lastly you could just omit the root altogether and add the nine (2nd) for a more real world experience. I would become a member in a heartbeat if I could justify the $299 when I have 2 jobs and so little time to play. Jonny is spot on if you want to learn jazz or Ragtime or just sound better. I'm a saxophonist but I think Jonny teaches music in a way that can apply to any western instrument. Even drummers can benefit from playing along.

[@weedanwine]

you might wanna check out Open Studio too, a lot of really great jazz videos

[@samsilva3625]

I play classical piano but jazz has been a beautiful mystery to me. You break it down so well. I think you have a prospective student.

Absolutely brilliant. Good that you recommended which keys to practice after the C.

[@EsomeonuCaleb-wj2wf]

Sir, I appreciate your lesson, you make piano leaning so easy for me

Whoa! I was discouraged when you first started the exercise but when you broke it down I was relieved. 😅 I can do that....eventually!!

More flats or sharps increases the challenge, but it also teaches your fingers to move with more fluidity. So you double benefits from the practice.

Oh wow Johnny, I can go on listeing to these lessons. Its so beautiful.

[@cartoflur9143]

Great video, thanks. Question from a beginner. Let's say during this exercise I need to play chord that starts with black key for example Ebmaj7. When I play the pattern in my right hand I have two options: 1) start with the thumb (in a "chord like" fashion) 2) start with the forefinger (in a "solo/arpeggio like" fashion). What would you recommend?
