Your channel is amazing! I’ve been doing the same old riffs when trying to improvise for YEARS and with just this one lesson you’ve vastly boosted my playing, thank you!

[@stratcat4461]

I'm not much of a jazz fan, but this is a nice tutorial, adaptable to some types of blues as well. In my opinion, your site is the best piano teaching site on KZbin. You're an excellent player and teacher.

[@mogglie]

Strat Cat à good yt channel found too is. NewJazz. But you said you don’t like jazz. So perhaps that channel is not for you. However. Take a look at his lessons at newjazz. They are amazing.

Jonny is a great educator and has serious chops. Thank you!

[@rogerioesposito2170]

Very explaining, as usual. In hard times, this practicing can cheer us a little bit up. I loved the mention to Oscar Peterson, the best in all times, king of the turns. God bless you, Master Jonny.

Great piano lessons from young Ralph fiennes.

[@juandavila4534]

Absolutely informative video. Thank you so much. You earned a sub

[@juandavila4534]

Edit- i was already subbed to you😂😂

[@anthonysilva5312]

Sick

[@SindiswaMotha_]

Those Turns are turning me on😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎹

[@weedanwine]

Love this video, I've got to the point where I can get a fairly stable rhythm with my LH swinging the bassline, and some reasonable lines with my RH, but it gets to the point where the LH bassline gets a bit stale and I don't really know where to take it next. I keep playing around some but not found anything yet

[@cwestmont]

Take the bass line down to F as a starting, point, with the same pattern from there.

[@davidnaef1]

Man! That shit is cool af!

[@guitargod6997]

Great lesson! Talent!

[@spacewalden8358]

Loved the lesson, cheers !

[@GaryDichtenberg]

Demystifying walking bass helps a lot. All I need now is talent and how to teach my brain to play both hands at once.

[@dc.tm28]

Yeah, I can't seem to have my left and right hands do different things at the same time

[@pianopatterns2440]

Write it out and practice it *very* slowly. You don't have to use notation if you don't read music; all you need is to write the letter names of the notes. Stack the notes where the hands line up. When I say practice it slowly, I mean *really slow.* Force your hands to play the notes and your ear to hear what the two parts sound like together. Then you will be able to play it slightly faster, etc.

Jonny is the man, the myth ...the legend. Women want him and men want to be him.

[@lisahansen6014]

how important is it to transpose? If I get really good in C is that sufficient for a beginner?

[@stevenz9916]

[@Taznk1]

c-a-d-g (turn around progression for reference)

[@tevitavuki6100]

[@jobgraza7622]

[@xaviermarie3089]
