[@private577]

Why doesn't this have more views? Jonny you're awesome man. Personally I'm moving from fast blues to more jazzy lines, Jonny helps a lot. Merci beaucoup

[@kewsepehr1060]

Thanks everso much Jonny. An endless sea of theory, explaind in such a simple and understanding way..., wowww...

[@dcp8nts]

I'm not a beginner, (keys, sax, flute) and even though i might know most of this, it's always smart to review. You have such a wonderful vibe about you. You are such a great teacher. I love your channel.

[@Mjmcarlson]

This is exceptional teaching. Thank you for sharing your talents and finding ways to communicate your discoveries!

[@lauraobligado-arteenaccion8567]

I am so thankfull for all your videos, you are a fabulous teacher. Here from Argentina gracias!!!

[@EANNE1000]

Certainly an eye-opener for me. Thanks so much!

[@HamadaHitomi]

Si'mple practice way! Thank you very much. i take this for my' diminish' lesson.

[@oyvindroth]

And I also see that you use a LH fingering (e.g. at 9:51) that I (as an amateur) would not have chosen. I would use (2,1), (5,1), (3,2) and (3,1) and so on... My automatic fingering tend to choose the fingering that you show in the video (at 9:50 using (2,1), (5,1), (2,1) and (2,1)), but it seems anatomically better choose the fingering I suggest above. In your choice, in a subsequent run you have to move (2,1) from (C,E) to (D,F) (both fingers), whereas in my suggestion you only have to move 1 from E to F having 2 free to place it on D. I suppose I have erroneous assessments, but could you elaborate a bit on that? Generally, in your lessons, I think you should focus somewhat more on fingering issues. I have the conviction that having the fingering as good as ergonomically possible from the start will prevent later muscle trouble.

Chapo ba Jonny,. this is Haitian Creole that's mean I bow down. You are very helpful to the world. Thanks for every tips and secrets. God Bless you.

[@geoffstockton]

I like the general idea of this exercise and I’ve done stuff quite similar to it but I really don’t like where the 4ths wind up rhythmically on the Imaj7. I like to do this kind of stuff but using the bebop major and Dorian scales. In that context, you wind up with the chord tones in all the important places rhythmically.

[@Keshanta333]

MAN!!!!! ❤ I LOVE YOU Understanding Jazz this is the missing thing i need to know to play Jazz supreme bro supreme teaching thank you

[@demisdanoudis5889]

Brilliant mate!

[@raphaelrodrigosantosdasilv525]

From Brazil, Thanks

[@percyvolnar8010]

Problem here is that no one on youtube makes videos like this for MINOR II-V-I.... And perhaps thats the gatekeep in effect.

[@sandwich1247]

true

[@m.ace.o]

Could you elaborate please?

[@mist6302]

why can't you just do this exercise with scales that work over the minor ii-v-i

[@percyvolnar8010]

@ 👈 went right over this person's head....

[@shcoryell879]

Awesome tutorial!

[@gun_worm]

cool stuff bro

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!

[@JeffRyan_88keys]

Nice video, Jonny.

[@solarsound744]

very instructive - thnx

[@Vissualstudiobcn]

Hello Johny I am a member of Piano witn Johny, it is amazing what I am learning. I wanted to comment that I have been having some problems with the fingering on this exercise. I see that you start each time with a different finger, I haven't learned this yet. Do you have any exercises for this? it would be great to have this agulity to be able to go up and up the scales more automatically. Greetings!

[@φωτηςμπασουκος]

Μπράβο σου δάσκαλε Σ ευχαριστουμε

[@agerray]

Great tutorial as ever! As a "classical intermediate/confused jazz beginner" could you explain how/why you chose the G dominant diminished scale?

[@EvanWiederandersMusic]

On a G dominant chord, there are 4 notes: G, B, D, and F. However, you can add more notes that give it more evolved and interesting qualities. These extra notes are called extensions, and as it turns out, the diminished scale has many extensions that happen to sound good on dominant chords.

[@Flying-Roro]

The dominant diminished scale usually works on dominant seventh chords, aka the fifth of a major scale or the seventh of a minor scale.

[@DizzyKrissi]

Using the altered scale would even give you the #5 but this scale sounds interesting, too.

[@CrowClouds]

But why did he choose it for G and not for say C or D? ​@@EvanWiederandersMusic

[@EvanWiederandersMusic]

@@CrowCloudsG diminished is used for G7, C diminished is used for C7, etc.

[@JooSMusic]

This is a great resource sir and thanks for sharing this. But I need help with the fingerings for this exercises. Thanks

[@keithtaylor9100]

Very cool!

[@marcelomatos8172]

Bom demais. Abraço do Brasil

[@JorgeOdo-n1f]

Woo you awesome

[@barbaraflisak4075]

Thank you, I will practice it more. I just want to ask you, if you truly know, how jazzmans do it, that they hear all the chords immediately. I can recognize triad like 1 4 5 or sometimes tonic on 6 and the other chords I just guess. Is it about psyche or emotional ease?

[@lemons107]

I love you Johnny

[@abbesatty9498]

Looks like Jonny "secretly" visited the Phrygian , Lydian and Locrian modes in this improvisation. Great lesson!

[@justsomefakeguywithoutamou5538]

first sentence is too relatable

[@artmis6158]

How do you know which kind of scale to use for different chord progressions?

[@adolfosc5783]

Excelente.

[@sesamoideo]

Hi Jonny. I am very interested in your courses but I do not understand English, is it possible to follow your classes with audio in Spanish?

[@Spahr62]

Thank you Jonny! Fun excercise to practice! Gonna get those notes soinding great soon! Love playing with backing track!

[@edwinbab3205]

What I can practice I just know notes little bit keys and what portable piano inget

[@parisachenbach6028]

Wow why did they never teach me this in music school lmao thank you thank you

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!

[@adotationchretiennefreremellot]

hi Mellot i am ,i've a trouble with improvisation so Can i have some advice

[@dk3250]

Hi Jonny, thank you for your educational effort! Can you please make a video or share with us recommended warm up exercises before we start hitting those notes on the piano? Thank you

[@oyvindroth]

I love your courses, they pinpoint exactly what I need at this stage. Thanks so much! But: I miss fingering annotations very, very much. E.g. in this excercise it took me a quarter of an hour (at 6:51) to find out that 3 on the B flat in the second bar and 2 on the F (the last note) beautifully gave me the thumb (1) on the G in the 3. bar. And so on, which opened up the eternity of the excercise upwards. I would have saved much time if you had given me that cue in the first place. (This also goes for the left hand, of course.) I am considering paying for your courses, as i like them very much. Will the paid lessons give the fingering annotations?

[@manopablogo8983]

Hi, do you have perfect pitch?

I'm struggling to get a nice sound out of the diminished dominant scale, its just sounding a bit janky, any suggestions you have that might fix this?

[@justsomefakeguywithoutamou5538]

Whenever I am improvisng I just dont know where my fingers should go and when to jump how far? Can anyone please help me.

[@olgarakoto5728]

T H A N K S 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@Bartnick81]

Can someone explain to me why he goes tediously through scales just up and down and at the end he makes very different unrelated improvisation. What has happened here ?

[@artmis6158]

Basically he picked notes on the scale and used the exercise to find ways to connect the melodies together to give the improv more direction

It's like you are breaking out of a diminished scale into the normal dominant scale.
