Learn Block Chords with Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Mini Lesson by Jonny May

[@RubyBandUSA]

Jonny I can't believe you did the initial 4 minutes demonstrating the 6 techniques in one uninterupted shot with no edits, no mistakes, and no music! Superlative!!

[@JohnPlessGuitar]

Jonny~ I met Pat Metheny in Montana playing guitar with other musicians a few years back.. I asked him- 'What' would be your best advice to get to the next guitar level? He said, "take a Jazz piano class,,, It will 'all' make sense"... Well,,, Here it is,,, An easy explanation of 'everything' I've been playing all these years on guitar, but on piano- "All the blanks" explained,,, Metheny -The master, leaned all this in his parents basement in KS as a kid... I'm leaning from Jonny on KZbin.. It all makes sense now,,, The final level- Thank you -Huge- Cheers to Pat and Jonny

[@jeanbamala7819]

Hey Jonny I really like your lessons, they help me a lot on the piano. Above all, keep doing what you love to do.

[@milessantos8959]

[@alessandrosantana3161]

I am coming by the second lesson. It's going to be alright! Tank youo, one more time! 🇧🇷

[@Jamminn555]

Incredible playing Jonny. But you're also such a great communicator, which makes all the difference. Planning to get your full course!

[@B501R]

it is called mini lesson, but for 30 minutes of running time, I'm very very grateful to consider it more than enough. I will absorb it after I downloaded this. Thank you very much

[@paulbelfrage876]

Oh yeah!!!..Love it all! Thank you Johnny. I play saxophone. Mum was a vocalist & there were lots of the old standards & such playing on the record player growing up at home back in the 60's. Thank you again lots of smiles & hello from Melbourne Australia.

[@4yaears]

This video is amazing. Has just taken me up a few levels in my piano and musical knowledge.

[@sethchrisman1645]

I’m with you on this!

[@guitargod6997]

Grateful for your gift of music and marvelous ability to teach. Great communication skills and delivery. Excellent playing!

[@1aadumlao]

Thank you Mr Johnny. I recently purchased your "Let It Go" SoundSlice. Your arrangement is genius. I'll be buying more Soundslice music as well as lessons. Can't wait! Thank you so much!!!

[@Thebreakfastpianoproject]

Soooooo helpful I’m so happy you can make this information available to us! This is great advanced stuff too! It’s hard to get reliable and easy to digest theory!

[@eduardosposito8052]

Thank you so much Tony!!!!!

[@igorvashkov8821]

Thank you so much Jonny! So thorough and in-depth!

[@copernicus99]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@scottstevens5481]

Awesome... where is SUPER LIKE button? Thank you Jonny... this a phenomenal tutorial!!! SUPER LIKE!!!

[@fabianvanderknaap2102]

Really good lesson, thanks! I wouldn't, however, call the notes of an Eb-7 Eb-F#-Bb-C# because it could confuse people that there are sharps in such a simple chords.

[@lindareese4579]

Thank you Jonny for the very very nice lesson!!!!!

[@sapphy2]

Perfect. Love your lessons. I've been learning for 4 weeks. And getting on well. I understand chord theory which helps( I used to play jazz guitar) I have a very good ear for melody lines but I cannot for the life of me coordinate my left and right hands rhythmically.

[@michaelkennedy5126]

that filler line is AWESOME, thans for this video

[@med3484]

It's funny because I currently use these techniques with other techniques yet I can't get enough of it. I'll be buying the course just to hear your explanation of the approaches and your voicings. Motivation for beginners and richness for the more advanced.

[@JonnyMay]

Great Michael! I think you'll get a lot of value from the course.

[@jorgandenzel8741]

johny my guy i just started playing piano but i already fill like a professional your tutorials are really inspiring i just want to learn more thanks man i really appreciate what you are doing 👏👏

[@PianoWithJonny]

[@gastoneliecerzuluagaarroya837]

Excellent job brother you are awesome. Thanks a lot to share all this with us

[@guitargod6997]

Excellent teaching style and beautiful playing!

[@stagelifelv9324]

Wonderful lesson! Great insight into techniques I did not know enough about.

[@MrSadasddsa]

I love you Johnny, you are fantastic, keep up the good work

[@brunodesimone1019]

Hi Jonny! Congrats for the clearness of your training skills. Where I could learn the rest of those 6 harmonization techniques as here you explained only the block chords one? Thank you in advance!

[@charlesgoldsmith6388]

Thank you

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

Great vid man! One of my favorite songs of all time!

[@davidolson2363]

Very good instructional video.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulcrooks4467]

Beautiful.I got to write it down

[@Fenrizan]

I really don't understand why you are explaining how to build j7, 7 and m7 chords in this level. If you want to play such an advanced and versatile music as a serious musician you should at least have some of the basic music theory skills. A guitarist shouldn't learn sweeping before he knows how to use alternate picking properly and that's the same with Jazz piano. These words are not meant to criticize your lesson at all. For me block chord voicings is the high class of Jazz music and I really appreciate that you are teaching this. I absolutely took my advantages out of this. Thank you!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Hey Lars, thanks for the feedback. The challenge with pre-recorded lessons is that there is a wide variety of people watching, and everyone has different learning gaps. So in my lessons, I do try to cover some basics before getting into the deep stuff, and usually I'll tell the student not to move on to the harder stuff unless they understand the basic stuff. I'll consider your feedback for future lessons. And thanks for the compliments.

[@adelaidahansen8927]

Sure enjoy the lesson, would like to learn more.

[@adelaidahansen8927]

How do i buy the course.

[@adelaidahansen8927]

Is there a hard copy i can follow.

Hi Jonny, our videos help me a lot. I'm grateful for that. But I'd like to ask you a curiosity: what software do you use to show the piano keys pressed on real time? Tks.

[@falcon4355]

Great Lesson cudos to your teaching

[@jasoncollins785]

Sincerely this is excellent; this is exactly what I'm looking for. I can't wait to start your course, when my work picks up I'll be subscribing for sure. Awesome, awesome stuff.

[@ArnoldMuanda-r2f]

Jonny on ne crée que le block chord avec les les accord de 7ieme et 6iem?

[@cobrasnake7845]

The E flat 7th chord in theory should be Eb G Bb Db. the way I learned it but your computer screen refer to the Db as a C# instead. Isn't that sort of incorrect though? I did noticed however that you did say Db so I guess it's just a computer typo (error). I think it also applies to the C dimished where the computer screen displays an F# instead of Gb and the Db 7 chord also too. You say Db but the computer screen reads C#. Lol!

[@alfred7827]

very nice instruction. Just a suggestion. Although D flat and C sharp are the same key its a little confusing to follow along when you're saying D flat while C sharp is appearing on your reference keyboard. Would like to see it read D flat instead of C sharp.

[@Gerard_2024]

@Alfred Colella...Yes, as educated musicians, we all enjoy and expect enharmonic consistency

[@gastonblue4659]

excellent job jonny blesses

[@BjPrez]

thank you! great teaching!

[@dry509]

How do I get a good piano sound. Upgrade my Yamaha P-105 or get something virtual like Keyscape? What do you recommend sounds better and is most cost effective?

[@robertmarier5987]

I'm member but couldn't find the lesson sheet for this lesson on the web site

[@evangelion045]

Is there a continuation?

[@bilbobaggins4403]

Hey Johnny you ever come to Canada

[@tomgansa7882]

great vid but why does the instruments get compressed when he play.

[@sarahbarbier2249]

that was goals

[@CreateArtRecords]

Hi Jonny..Maybe too stupid, but first at the Basic Inversions you say its a Gm7 followed after the D7. Later on you call it as a Eb6? On the Blockcords Harmonisation you talk from a Abm6 at the Db7 Position?? Could it be there is a mistake? thx

[@ballprohut]

Great one Jonny! I purchased your Happy birthday lesson and it was fantastic. I have been looking for this lesson but I couldn't find it. Where can I get it?

[@fullViewJay]

Hey Jonny, I can't find this particular lesson on your website. Could you link me to it? Thank you!

[@Good4bizzness]

Great teaching! What program/software do you use to get the image of a second keyboard that shows the notes you are playing?

[@pianofun1207]

Thanks, great stuff! :)

[@shermiesdad]

Hi Jonny! Any luck getting the licensing straightened out on this? I'm dying to get my hands on your complete lesson for this. On a different note, since we share the same taste in computers, what are you using for a DAW? Is it Logic Pro? Just curious. Thanks!

[@shermiesdad]

Thanks Jonny!

[@pmichael1000]

Can you tell me which courses I should buy there associated with this block chord introductory lesson? Thanks Jonny...great work...Phil

[@jumperstartful]

Didn't George Shearing use block chords.

[@orlandovaldiviabravo5816]

Subtitulos en español gracias

[@constancegoodyear4472]

Harold arlen and Yip Harburg titled this song - it is Over the Rainbow

[@DarthSidious11]

Johnny what if you already play the piano but don't know how to read music

[@dry509]

Nice.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Completely irrelevant but you could be long lost twin of Ralph Fiennes .! Also , ( not quite as irrelevant : you adopt slightly different posture for each different style ? ) Very interesting .

[@bilbobaggins4403]

🇨🇦

[@franzkennedy5637]

hey j you lack rthym, jazz gospel and life

[@ETsonggalaxy]

Not bad, better than Mehalo lessons ! They did a poor version of this song.

[@minnedoregreen7326]

What happen to mentioning Herbie Hancock

[@teedtad2534]

Jazz not for me! Pop is great!

[@raymondviolot1710]

Too much talk! Lose the constant opinionating and focus on practical, theoretical aspects of playing the style.

[@ETsonggalaxy]

some times U go to fast dude! slow down! Make it more simple for beginners!

[@falcon4355]

Great Lesson cudos to your teaching

[@Gerard_2024]

@Sporty´s Gear...Most English-speaking people spell "cudos"with a K...perhaps you´re from another planet...interesting orthographic variation nonetheless...
