Improvise piano, even if you have zero talent

[@ВадимС-к5щ]

Johnny is the nicest guy on KZbin. Your smile, your optimism, your explanations and humor - all this makes even dummies open the piano lid. Thank you so much.

[@eddted2876]

Jonny as long as you call out EACH keynote or chord by letter or letters this helps us as you play in your lessons step BY step slowly Thanks!

[@stephenmallick1158]

Simply stunning Jonny. God bless your effort. You have natural gift to impart your knowledge and talent to others. Thanks.

[@christianboutonnet1381]

Great idea that having done this lesson, it is true that we can do a lot of variations and being a beginner it is a treat. Thank you Jonny

[@qmama9791]

Thank you for putting sheet music, key labels, and hand demo!!! This really helps!!!! :)

[@KlavierlernenmitMelanie]

That sounds soooo beautiful 🥰🎶 Thank you for this lovely improvising ideas 😀🎹 I love the chord progression very much! So simple and so emotional 👍🎶

[@CarlosGutierrez-pk5ds]

"...the ´KEY´ here is to have some fun." Totally agree...piano playing should ALWAYS be fun! Good job Maestro Jonny! Greetings from México.

[@urzathehappy72]

Who cares about the rules have fun and mess about

Great talent for playing and teaching piano, a magnificent instrument.

[@Wyd_calvin]

Great tutorial Jonny , will definitely be adding this into my daily practice, thank you 😊

[@macrobioticaycocinavegetar3059]

Amazing lesson! I ll try! Thank you very much!

[@boskans7800]

Thanks Jonny!!!! Great video!!!! Thanks for sharing your musical talent!!!! Been playing for fifty years but soooo appreciate you sharing you knowledge and talent with those just learning!!!! I'm an old man now but have been fortunate to have played with those who have won Grammys when I was young!!! Thanks again!!!

[@lancelouw2763]

Simply beautiful! Totally inspired...

[@ginaooi6522]

Love the example lines and bag of tricks. Looking forward to trying them. Love this video and we started learning the first Contemporary Progression in your "6 Contemporary Piano Improvisation" lesson. Kids and I are having loads of fun playing around with it.

[@rainerwysocki3554]

Beautiful improv Jonny! Thank you

[@helohalo3318]

Thank you for that very good tutorial.

[@nalbers1202]

In my opinion the best online teacher. Especially for those whom's native language is NOT English. A very good pronunciation, very clear to understand and perfect lessons, easy to follow and to replay. And everybody can learn to play piano. Please keep on....

[@olhatereshchenko7468]

That's absolutely true! I'm a classical pianist from Ukraine, and my English not so good. Love you Jonny, your lessons are very useful, and you are so nice!!

[@markoshinskie1208]

That was really good. Thanks!

[@suaveyfresco3267]

You are such a good teacher! Thank you for existing!

[@christinagraf9724]

This is your best lesson. I'm sure others were bored but I have HOPE that I can learn. Now if my keyboard sound like that. I'd love to take your course but it's just over my head and I at 64 feel why try. I don't have the time to learn. This one was something hopeful. Thank you ☺️

[@lissettegonzalez1059]

Beautiful progression. Not for beginners. Beginners need this lesson slower or in different parts so they wont get frustrated.Knowledge of scales, finger independence, chord progression and overall basic theory is needed. Love it and playing it; thanks

[@rasmuhamednasr4621]

That is amaaaaazing,thank you.

[@danidelavega]

VERY GOOD, AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND....... THANKS MATE.

[@thoang101]

Love this exercise, thank you.

[@kenrichard5]

VERY Ludovico - ish. Love it!

[@benjomoreno1391]

Here is a concept that most piano teacher missed most of the time. A very simple concept but very effective. Thank you sir for this lesson.

[@TheJinx1]

Thanks!

[@ajijixe]

Thank you (abundantly)!

[@dcg929]

You are a very good piano teacher Jonny and so helpful in sharing your knowledge. Thanks.

[@richard135b7]

Jonny you are amazing! Outstanding lesson. Thank you

[@alstallioX]

This is a great lesson! Good job

[@lindareese4579]

Thank you Jonny!!!! Thank you for such fun nice lesson s.....stay safe.....

[@lepetitprince7505]

Really useful video! Thanks! 💕

[@chatsom8043]

wonderful !!

[@paulsp1ano]

"You can literally play over this chord progression all day" lol. Loved that quote, and I'm going to have to try it out.

[@markf.wilson257]

You are such a blessing! Thank you.

[@arturovasquez6628]

The best lesson of how to improvise, I know it will take me time but I have the best guide to do it. Thanks Jonny!

[@Hisnameisjesus1]

Jonny! my first time stumbled upon your content and I am Obsessed! Lol I would luv to see you make a tutorial on “ the beautiful piano peice by jervy hou

[@PianoNotion]

Great improvising tips Jonny!

[@Geezerachi]

I like how he starts the video playing but the music keeps playing after he stops! Lol

[@valterorigo8390]

Muito Obrigado! from Caraguatatuba- Brasil

[@typhoontom]

Wow!!! That was beautiful music. I'm gonna try this...wow! Very nice! Thank you!!!

[@smithjohn383]

Loved the ending solo, however, where were the gaps as advised in the guideline 1 ?

[@julianho7672]

thanks Jonny.....................

[@gopalakrishnanduraisamy5409]

Good .Super. Very easy to understand . Thank you.

[@jokerace6395]

For me it’s the best lesson ever I found in you tube ,even I m relearning the keyboard I do a lot of exercises of this piano style ,this lesson sound very good,I download the sheet and play it a lot ,sounds very very nice ,thanks teacher Johnny 😁 What about to make a full piece based on this lesson and give us the score ? I know it’s to improvise but to me it’s a good idea ?

[@ronaldpinkt5599]

Thank you for your wonderful piano lessons. I am learning a lot. Please stay safe.

[@wylliswiltshire788]

agreed

[@TachyBunker]

Just improv

[@sanjaydas401]

Beautiful & melodious

[@DrRaghavanRPanicker]

Namasthe Sir,Very impressive.Feeling proud of your dedication on expressing the lesson in a simple way. Thanking you Sir. Namasthe.🌹🙏🌹

[@SoyPriscillaDeLaCruz]

Could you suggest an exercise to train independence hands? I deeply appreciate your work, thank you.

[@TechTins_Projects]

You need long fingers for playing the chords like that. Very wide stretched out hand. I play first note and then lift hand up and ignore first note when playing upper two notes. I suppose pedal can help.

[@drvgpandurangi]

Very interesting and tempting music created step bystep so a person is encouraged and pulled towards the piano to play it immediately . Loved the lesson and soon will leap from no talented and boring to Wow!!!! That's Heaven

[@drvgpandurangi]

Forgot to add a heavenly Thankyou for this tutorial

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

There's a difference between having "no talent" and having no experience. What you're talking about here is improvisation with experience. You're showing how a person with some decent experience at the piano can improvise.

[@Paroles_et_Musique]

well, sure you have to know notes first and do some technique exercises. He is not Jesus.

[@RobertLeva]

Another huge hit, thanks so much. One tiny bit of feedback: I think the title is a bit misleading. I am intermediate and these exercises are quite challenging for me.

[@preethapinto6901]

Wow. It's really amazing. Can you teach how to apply this while playing the song

[@wernervannuffel2608]

Very usable stuff with an easy chordprogression and with only five notes in the right hand and different arpeggios that can be variated around a simple melody line. I like this kind of exercises to get a good feeling of understanding different parts into one and thé same pianoplay from super easy to more complicated playing styles/forms around one basic musical idea or melodic sentence that becomes more animated by the injection of arpeggio-variations. You have the skeleton music stuff and the ''clothing' of that stuff, right?

[@orvilleraposo7760]

Thank you

[@theguitarnoobph]

Pretty nifty! Thank you!

[@adilsonjr5705]

Buenísimo! me encantó, muchas gracias. Saludos!

[@kamelupo]

Maybe The Best teacher i know

[@szabib8048]

I would argue that the "zero talent" part is not entirely true, you kind of need more than that for this. That being said, the left-hand part is really captivating, too bad my fingers aren't used for that stretching. :( In any case, I'm going to practice it, my right hand wanders off to different notes and I'm liking it. Btw, play the left hand line with the right hand starting from A up one octave, sounds angelic!

[@apucibence4024]

Sok szerencset :)

[@urzathehappy72]

Reminiscent of INTERSTELLAR. Add in B which is the #11th of F and it will really sound like that movie.

[@denixor]

It's incredible!

[@sooyunkim1526]

How can I play with backing track? Is there any way download it?

[@2shytalk]

best lesson ever Cheers

[@karenfal8448]

Can't seem to play fast in right hand and slow in left hand. How many years before I get that coordination? Only been playing 4 months

[@irenasquires3693]

Your music sound lovely. I’m glad you got the sheet music so I can follow along. You play too quickly for the no talented like me to pick it up. I will have a go, because the music sweeps me off my feet Thank you

[@mara8456]

KZbin allows you to slow it down.

[@lebedevguitar]

Amazing!

[@ELPERRITOENEAS]

muy bien Jonny... voy a seguirte

[@HamidShibataBennett]

Those are indeed gorgeous chords… and, too wide for my hand to play… I can spread fingers to reach an octave, but that’s it.

[@eudzmixvlogs8873]

Thanks for sharing..

[@JazzBuff23]

Is there another chord that sounds good but no as far apart?

[@leagnord]

I need longer pinky and thumb

[@JazzBuff23]

The first chord requires an octave plus two notes. How do I get there?

[@TechTins_Projects]

I play first note and then lift hand up and ignore first note when playing upper two notes. I suppose pedal can help.

[@kenmccarty6229]

Tech Tin has is right, but here’s an additional tip. Use the index finger as a pivot point, like a seesaw. You just adjust the pivot point between the chords of Em/G and F. But it’s always going to be a seesaw motion relying heavily on the twisting motion of the wrist.

[@nl4050]

Do some stretching exercises in the left hand starting with playing an octave with little finger and thumb, then try to play a tone higher with your thumb whilst keeping your little finger on the same note. Eventually you should be able to stretch even higher and play a 10th.

[@mightyoak11111]

Beginning sounds like “she’s choppin broccoli!”

[@danielavelino9906]

Wow really cool man!!!! Which software are you using to show the piano and the chords you are playing? Is it Synthesia? Thanks man peace!

[@markd2851]

This seems a bit advanced for this “non-talented” pianist.

[@dontsubscribeme9547]

You are mixing the non talented with non trained..

[@warwickmarshall295]

What a burn to find out that all my playing with feeling and intuitive self teaching on piano had led me to a place where I can be ranked as talentless improviser predictably meandering around basic pop sequences. Oof

[@drunio1504]

These short fingers, no experience, it's gonna be a long summer.

[@daborshy4089]

Is it really improv if you fully map out of the left hand in advance lol

[@dumitrymd5557]

Is very simple to you and me when I watch

[@erikhenchal2088]

Jonny: You've taught me more in three days than I learned in 6 years of classical piano lessons.

[@ginaooi6522]

Ditto.

[@SerafEnd]

Yeah, that would be me... But to be honest, I did learn to play my favorite song by humming and trying the note... I took me a whole day.

[@marcelomatos8172]

Coisa linda de se ouvir!

[@TheBuchcassidy]

Jonny , you have just now demystified Richard Kleidermann, great!

[@Hogtown1986]

I have long fingers but geez I can’t stretch out that far. And sadly my left and right hand can’t work independently like that.

[@RobertDeLGF]

Thanks Jonny but you don't tell me how to grow my hands big enough to stretch from A E C and then G E B! What if my fingers can't reach???

[@stevenh9178]

Love it...no talent required!

[@urzathehappy72]

You have more talent than you realize, Steve. We all have music within us.

[@stevenh9178]

@@urzathehappy72 Mine was a comment on the title/splash screen, and the irony of Jonny's very talented playing and the lesson clearly needs some talent, if not moderately big hands too for the 10th stretch base pattern!

[@schubertjorg7428]

Nice idea to improvise, but my hands are too small.

That's a long stretch for my finger and I don't have small hands!

[@ELPERRITOENEAS]

[@chriswb7]

How on earth are your fingers reaching across 10 keys...There is no way I could play those three notes at one time and my hands are probably average sized.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

You don't have to hold the first note down. Use the pedal, and hold on to the second left-hand note instead.

[@jw-fb1iq]

So if people with zero talent can play this and i'm struggling where does that leave me 😀

[@gertlykke4119]

I have very small hands, little fingers.... Do I have to give up?!?

Nooooo!!! Keep playing, suspedal will help, 🤝
