Jazz Pianist Reacts to Oscar Peterson - Boogie Blues Etude

[@boboscurse4130]

If anyone is on the fence about paying the subscription, Jonny is the real deal. Serious player and theory master. I've been playing 40 years, most of it professionally and I learned enough in the first couple days to pay for it.

[@carolinebarley]

You should comment on his Instagram ad. Hes gotten a lot of flack on there for some reason. I haven't bought anything but Jonny has taught me so much over the past couple years.

[@skruse1966]

This is my favorite OP video. He demonstrates so many different piano styles--effortlessly. He plays with the strength of an NFL lineman, and sweats like one too. Thankfully Niels are Barney are there to allow a sweat break. Jonny, your skills are amazing too. This video is worthy of more videos if you had time.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you for the feedback! I plan on doing more of these 👍

[@Rungus27]

wish you would do more of these that was great I always wondered what that sound was and it turned out to be a fast whole tone scale. great video.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thanks we have this video as well on the whole tone scale: pianowithjonny.com/piano-lessons/whole-tone-scale-the-complete-piano-guide/

[@akitikallc6161]

NHOP on the bass...Niels Henning-Oersted Pederson...the man was amazing!

[@rcom9880]

Love watching one virtuoso break down another's licks!

[@philipkarovski281]

Awesome break down dude! More of these breakdowns would be much appreciated

[@brianshankman3823]

Love this analysis, Jonny! Makes OP seem almost human :) Really liked the short blues solo near the end, too, thanks!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@francescoboldrini-boldro2.0]

You are an incredible pianist! So much talent! Congratulations

[@davidgerber9317]

I really enjoyed the advanced level of this video. Your beginner/intermediate tutorials are fine, but this more advanced video is great. Thanks!

[@GameNationRDF]

I've spent a solid year teanscribing the first ~3 minutes of this exact solo. I like how he immediately knows what to play. You are amazing, immediately subbed. I have much to learn from you! Considering the paid course!

Man, SO fantastic. Love hearing your breakdowns and also seeing your immediate reactions to particularly mind-blowing moments! ALWAYS appreciate more Oscar, and Monty Alexander!!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thanks a ton!

[@Jamminn555]

@@PianoWithJonny What digital piano/patch are you using? Sounds so great, man.

[@MarquezSchoolgirl64]

Wow, thanks! I just discovered Oscar Peterson's music in the past 6 months, and your break-down helps me to learn more about what I'm hearing.

[@mvarick1]

Great video! So amazing to see Peterson and Gould come up at the same time. That left hand by both of them. Just. Wow.

[@AdrianMark]

I love the KZbin algorithm. Was watching Oscar Peterson two weeks ago, and now I’ve found your channel!

[@careygoldfine7431]

Learned a lot from your analysis of one of the greatest jazz pianists’ styles. Would love to see more of these!!

[@PianoWithJonny]

So glad to hear it. More to come!

[@houdinismansion]

Wow!! Absolutely Wow! You just showed me some OP licks that I have ALWAYS wanted to play.Definitely love the advanced videos- and I knew you were good before but you really blew me away today! GREAT JOB!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Best jazz swing player of all the time. Virtuosity, musicality, speed and swing.

[@SpencerTwiddy]

Yeah, Jonny May is my favorite too

[@gregschimizzi6047]

This is a great analysis and explanation of Oscar's approach to improvisation. He was the greatest of all Jazz pianists in my book also. I am so fortunate to have had the pleasure of seeing Oscar on many occasions at his performances. The best ones were at Baker's Keyboard Lounge in Detroit which was a small intimate setting where patrons were able to sit up close to Oscar and the trio (some tables were within a few feet of the low rise stage).

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

This is not (just) a reaction video, you provide so much helpful information!

[@ChromaticHarp]

This is a great lesson! Please do more like this“ Thanks!

[@willydays3357]

Johnny...EXCELENTE!!! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA!!! GRACIAS POR TANTO!!!

[@daveswholesomefamilyfunfil4801]

Excellent Jonny. More please!

[@whoatemychocolate4222]

This is such a useful perspective Jonny, seeing how all the different elements fit together. I’d definitely be interested in more videos like this.

[@jackmeginniss6327]

I liked that analysis, explanation and demonstration of style and technique very much. Peterson is my favorite jazz pianist too. One thing that he could do that amazes me is play any improvised lines an octave a part using both hands. That is, he appeared to be able to execute anything with his left hand that he could do with his right.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed this!

[@williamlarson2759]

So awesome! Thanks for dissecting!

[@johnborrell9021]

Something about Oscar that make him my all time favourite. He makes every note count, if you get what I mean. Whether he plays lightning fast or slow. Great vídeo Johny.

[@baizhanghuaihai2298]

Absolutely. It’s like he loves each note individually. Such warmth in everything he plays. And a humble, sweet man.

[@michaelkeymont501]

I was fortunate enough to have seen him at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Amazing. He could barely walk, but he laid a beating on that piano like there’s no telling...

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's awesome!

[@evelynyturralde4113]

I thought I'd be annoyed at the frequent interruptions with explanations of what was just played -- very good quick analyses and demonstrations, by the way -- but I actually didn't mind the breakdowns immediately after hearing a run! Your explanations were quick and concise, and I liked being able to view that top keyboard that shows the names of which piano keys you pressed! So we could see your fingers AND read which piano keys you pressed, which was kind of fast if we just had to look at your fingers. I also liked that you told the chord progression he used which was slightly fancier, and the smooth diminished passing chord between dominant 7ths. I enjoyed watching this and will study it more. Wonderful. I look forward to the next one!

[@djnoy842]

You are such a great pianist Jonny!

[@vroldd]

OMG I love this thank you so much!

[@rickweiss8578]

I really enjoyed your taking the mystery out of Oscar's performance.

[@DanBrill]

This was great. Please do more like this. I've got some good ideas to use now that I understand more of what he was doing.

[@vahikeskandari4080]

Jonny you are the best, Thank you so much

[@richardlehoux]

Well, I'm on par with Oscar Peterson for sweating. For the piano, I need two brains and 200 years of practice.

[@markcreitzman8728]

And 3 hands....

[@brendaboykin3281]

Go, Go, Go!!! Good direction, Jonny🌹🌹🌹

[@SmurfIK1337chanel]

You`ve just broke down one of my favorite perfomances of Oscar. However, it`s not so complicated, as i thought, Thank you!

[@ajijixe]

Thanks! For all the info.

[@PianoWithJonny]

You bet!

[@tordjohnsen]

Pure gold!

[@avelingbarford]

My favourite Oscar Peterson is number one "You look Good to me" from album We Get Requests , then number two "Hymn to Freedom" from the Album Night Train. In fact "You Look Good to Me" is in my top 10 tracks ever of all genres.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

Wow. Absolutely fantastic video, thanks! Liked and subscribed.

It was a very cool video thx Johnny

[@ghettobrown1121]

We are so lucky that these pioneers of music have put all this magic together for us!! Hey jonny, what do you think of Harry Connick Jr.? just curious.

[@philippehartmann4989]

Very well broken down. Helpful when played slowly. The puzzle is coming together thanks to your detailed explanation. Learning piece by piece and section by section is much easier for me. Playing by ear is great but how about reading it from the full sheet music ?

[@sergedev6369]

It’s awesome Jonny! I love it

[@ThemeSongGuy]

I don't know if you (or any other person reading this comment) have ever heard of the German jazz pianist Eugen Cicero. He really was the best of jazzing up classical music. There is only one video performance of his on KZbin, it would be so great if you could react to that! Seriously, he comes close to the Oscar Peterson Trio, which is saying a lot!

[@BBKeys1947]

Dude. You are fucking amazing.

[@marcofarinamusic]

Veramente un video interessantissimo. Grazie, complimenti!

[@davivify]

I would click the _LOVE_ button, but KZbin only gives you a _LIKE._

[@timbattig6713]

Love this video, Johnny! Gave me great inspiration for my practice this morning, creating my own Oscar-inspired blues sequences, albeit at a much slower speed!

[@paulaustin1076]

This was very cool just what we need to transfer guitar blues to piano where we have to play more notes.

[@brbstudio7208]

Amazing!

[@stanlawson3472]

My 2 cents...keep doing this!

[@brendaboykin3281]

Love it! More pls. Fats Domino? Professor Longhair? Jerry Lee Lewis? Your favorite strider? Yohan Kim? All the best. 🌹🌹🌹😎

It'd be sweet if you could analyze the technique of the young jazz prodigy Justin Schultz.

[@gerardocardenas6591]

Wow, Jonny, you´re the BEST! Peterson is my GOD as well. By the way, do you have a video about how to develop a steady, powerful sense of swing rhythm? Congrats!

[@PianoWithJonny]

[@gerardocardenas6591]

@@PianoWithJonny Thank you!

[@SS-zd4tp]

Fantastic...!

[@alejandroperez4051]

I have a doubt: Oscar thinks in chord changes on a blues progression? I mean, playing on key of F, when he plays Bb(IV chord) or C (V chord), he plays Bb or C major blues scale or minor blues scale instead C blues scales for all chords?

[@brendagriffin1414]

Wicked video, mate 👍👍

[@chrispeters3691]

Hey great video! I have been looking at trying to transcribe this piece for years and never got down to it. Would love to learn it now though. Can you produce the sheet for this too? Also a little request....can you do a breakdown of the duet between Billy Taylor and Monte Alexander when they play I wish I knew how it feels to be free? Another awesome moment in Jazz and seeing both players style compliment each other was amazing. Keep the great videos coming. Subscribed and liked! :

[@Sprellic]

But that reach at 7:52? That is way above my paygrade.

[@ahilaryb]

I find this super helpful and informative...although sometimes it does make me want to smash my piano and give up 😂😭

[@Araconox]

Never give up. Though I have felt that way alot of times.

[@martin12fret]

You can get a hell of a fire going with a 9' grand...

[@esotericist]

In 1976, when I was 17 years old and got to meet him, we had a long chat about jazz piano styles and Oscar said he envied my piano playing skills. He said I could do something he couldn't. True story. I am not making this up!

[@carpegiane1504]

Nice Hey Johnny could u react to Chuck Leavell solo on Old Love MTV Unplugged Eric Clapton? 🙏👍
