Johnny, I’ve been waiting a long time for someone who speaks my language when it comes to playing the piano. You nailed it. Your teaching style is exactly what works for me. Thank you very much

[@DJazium]

The more I incorporate lessons like these into my daily practice, the better everything is sounding. Cheers

[@jordisixx-vq2eu]

Just what i needed to be spectacular

[@PianoWithJonny]

Awesome!

[@kewsepehr1060]

Terrific stuff Jonny May, and brilliantly put across. Thank you for being so generous and giving, and for creating so much joy for all ages to grasp such a delicate art.

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

I did some cool improv off this... Recently got a Korg D1stage piano and it sounds incredible... I just don't have the stamina, or dexterity to play for long periods of time like I would like too... I didn't even know I was gifted at playing the piano...

Pleasure learning with your lessons

"Hey there "Piano with Jonny! With all the videos on the web like yours - YOU'RE THE TOPS for explanation, clarity and to the point without over talking and side tracking!! I'm a professional jazz player and composer and have taught students jazz piano but you are by far the BEST in what you have demonstrated - and - the simplistic & sweet jazz playing you've shown - and yet - you've shown how what, you've demonstrated, makes jazz playing sound complex with such simple chording and 2 simple scales that are a great basic for all jazz wanna -be players! THANK YOU JONNY! I'm sending all my students to your website on KZbin for the understanding without the confusion and over the head rambling beyond a simple student mind!!!!" (All I ask for is a cut of the action from all the people I send your way and - we'll be making lots of "C" Note$!! - Ha! Ha! - No! Really! I'll let you use that last line in your videos! It'll make you rake in and wade in a lot of "Deep C-Note$"!!

Hello Jonny, that's another phantastic lesson for me as a complete "jazz beginner" . Can't wait sitting at my piano and practising! Thank you so much! 🙏 You're a wonderful teacher! I admire your passion for teaching playing piano! Great! Greetings from Gilda

[@georgesember9069]

You’re a wonderful teacher! I wish I played piano! I only play at guitar. At 78 years old, I’ll have to stick to guitar, but I’ll keep dropping in.

[@anthonyeaton4591]

Amazing. This opened up a door. Thank You.

[@peedubu]

Absolutely Brilliant, Jonny May! Sounds so good.

Very interesting lesson you made easy for me to understand great teacher thank for the lesson regards from RichardLiew from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

[@followyourpassion8378]

Are you the most methodical and motivating jazz piano teacher on KZbin? To me it seams that way.

[@CaptButtonMash]

I hate to admit this. But I am following a dedicated beginner jazz piano course and I just don't fathom why this technique isn't clearly explained like you did here. Bravo! and thank you.

[@jonascederlof7450]

Fantastic👌

Hey sir the last chord which is C6 I change it to a7b9 and it's very nice

Thank u bro , blessings 😀❤👌✌

[@rohankadamofficial]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏thnk u

[@maloneycraig]

Nice! Super helpful. Could you do one in the future that starts with diminished scale lines like this and mixes in some bebop lines and chromatic enclosures too? This is a missing link for me.

[@juulsboogieacademy4239]

Alright. More stuff to learn in lockdown 👀👏

[@jeffreydavid6794]

What kind of keyboard is that? It sounds sooo good.

[@joseperes777]

Just wonder....why you have chosen G diminished in this exercise......is it because G is dominant in C major?

[@paf5472]

Hello Jonny, I've just suscribed to you courses yesterday. They're great, you take more time, it's perfect. thank you very much I have a small, maybe stupid question, on this turn around, can we use a A blues scale all lond ? To my ear yes, but it's my ear. And can we use a C blues scale, if we're carefull with the Bb on the last C chords? Thank you

[@Discernftw]

Do you have a channel or playlist where you just play and improv? If not, you need one.

[@mothra87]

kzbin.info

[@ghettobrown1121]

does this exercise only work with the notes of the Dm7 chord or can you just do it on each note of the Cmaj scale?

[@TheNiekvdlaaken]

Those chords, that's the intro of piano man right?
