Jonny is a wonderful teacher. He's highly skilled, deeply understands the material, and holds back no secrets: he explains and demonstrates in detail, and makes everything, including scores and backing tracks, available for download. He makes a lot of stuff available for free, but I subscribed to support what he's doing.

[@marylaereman4981]

[@richardcabrejo532]

BI really enjoyed that Jonny! Cool!

[@philburpalooza8]

Very nice and logically presented.... with the big picture in mind for the student of what the riff is trying to create artistically instead of just trying to mindlessly memorize SO many notes... Thanks

[@jaybavis5896]

Love it just having problems getting my fingers to stretch 😂😂😂😂

[@marcwooldridge3213]

Love your videos Jonny! Lick #2 sounds like two sixteenths and an eighth on beat 2. Is that what you were intending? Thanks again for your great courses!

What does jonny use for backing tracks?

[@Frolik1]

Thank you very much!!

[@somejuan9570]

Hi Jonny. I’ve noticed that you always got rings on both of your ring fingers. Just wondering if that serves some kind of functional purpose for the hands?😅 Anyways, great lesson as always!

[@danielortizdecaracas]

Quiero trocar como mr Jhonny

[@Jack-fs2im]

priceless

[@RossAndTheDoormats]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@brianmi40]

Brian Simpson told me to tell you to get off his front lawn! JK, this style really evokes his playing! You've clearly drank from the same well at some point...

[@weltmeisterbayernmunchen6308]

THAT CM7 TO F IS EXACTLY THE GROOVE OF LADYS NIGHT BY COOL&THE GANG,THE JAZZY FUNKY FUNKERS!

[@normalizedaudio2481]

He plays too much 2nd inversion. I never play that. Just to make it look easy.

[@user-du1yk7uk9v]

Tell to that dumb AI to invent something to teach all of us to play like Jonny otherwise is just Artificial IDIOCY.

[@irt1971]

Love this, and I'm farirly familiar with this sytle, you're awesome Jon-Jon!
