HAVE NOT SEEN NOR HEARD A BETTER COMPACT JAZZ REVIEW. YEARS OF JAZZ EDUCATION IN ONE VIDEO. WAW.

[@panurg7606]

It is an amazing feeling when you see how a simple melody turns into a masterpiece before your eyes! There are no words to express my gratitude for this lesson!

[@Jack-fs2im]

Christmas carols seem to get new life in them when jazzed.beautifull.

[@MrKeithcl]

I am a member of Piano with Jonny too and I am learning this song over there . Great place to learn piano. Infact I have quit several online websites in favor of theirs. The downloadable backing beats and smart sheet music make practicing so much fun. Worth every penny. And instructional videos like these can not be beat. Cheers

[@JAC3981]

Really nice job on the lesson, Yannick. Clear, concise explanations with the perfect amount of info without being overwhelming. Positive reinforcement and encouragement. Seriously, I’m really impressed and trust me, when it comes to music/music theory, it takes ALOT to impress me. Great job.

[@evelynyturralde4113]

You're a very clear explainer -- not only of what you did (adding extra notes), but also WHY, according to theory! Excellent demonstration.

[@johnfalconer3672]

Great lesson! I just joined @PianoWithJonny a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad that I did! Your lessons are the best! I still need to learn a lot more music theory, but I appreciate your sharing so much insight about shading and nuance with the chords. I have a lot of songs I am working on at the moment, but I have started working up some Christmas carols, so I will be coming back to this one again soon.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you for sharing- that's awesome!

[@nancymarcondes6908]

Olá👍 Adorei sua aula Mestre. Muito grata .❤

[@innocenthedgehog8367]

Fantastic lesson!

[@scottm4267]

Great lesson. Concepts clearly explained. Thank you and Happy Holidays

[@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

Very clear and useful as usual. I have to admit that I had ten years ago a very good teacher of harmony at University in Nice, it was very difficult at the time because I had no idea about harmony, but now I am so happy about the work I did. Next step now it is to put into practice that knowledge, which is esier to say than to do. Thanks anyway, amazing teaching

[@James333-n2q]

Wonderful. As soon as you start looking into playing a musical instrument a whole new amazing world opens up to you. Thank you.

[@arriflalani]

for us beginners can the music you see above the piano printed anywhere. Writing it all by hand which takes forever! fabulous lesson

[@Keira88]

There's a link in the description:)

[@arriflalani]

@@Keira88 sorry I have looked and looked but can't see it!

[@rebanelson607]

Thanks for the beautiful ballad and all the theory. Maybe I'll learn it by Christmas --- 2023!

[@davidparker7920]

Am enjoying learning this, thanks Yanick and Jonny...seasons greetings from France.

[@carlosdavidsalazarbotero9432]

Great explanation. Please, We need more videos like this. Thanks dear Jonny and Yanick.

[@mothra87]

Fantastic lesson, arrangement and presentation.!

[@Potatointhehood]

17:45 that B7b9 i heard that in Chopin - Prelude in E minor before omg :OOO

[@edwardmiller3469]

Fabulous! We need more of these jazzy Christmas videos. Really enjoyed the breakdown of each chordal possibility and choice.

[@danakott977]

Then, bringing it all home to the beginning. I repeated it all to understand the major, major 7th, 11th, and so on. How hopeful I would feel to have these kinds of instruction learning many more songs. (And also learn typing as well!)

[@cd7856]

Getting back into piano after 30 years. This is awesome.

[@renwangpepsi6773]

nice sound, nice teacher, nice hat

[@steverino3447]

Wonderful substitute harmonies! Thank you - I've upgraded my arrangement accordingly.

[@zimamup]

It sounds great. I feel the most important aspect of your lesson is showing the rest of us the method of turning any song into a much richer tune by using all those seventh, diminished or whatever other more complex chords. I doubt I will ever be able to use this method to jazzify some of my favorite simple songs. Nevertheless, it's a real pleasure listening to your performance and teaching efforts. Thanks a lot. Best wishes.

[@LEDMESOL]

Great tutorial, beautiful versión, thanks.

[@io3283]

Great video! THANK YOU for offering this tutorial and arrangement. I really like your patient teaching style - learning theory and the “whys” of jazz style while having fun playing a nice holiday tune that’s entirely doable! 🎹 🥇

[@nerylopez6720]

Hi Yannick, only this year I follow your tutorial on silent night. Such a great video teaching us so much and so clearly. 🙏❤

[@christinacortez6130]

Love this arrangement awesome

[@diannesutton7399]

Now that it's November 1, I'll take a hard look at this. And wish I had paid attention when it first came out months ago. I love this sound.

[@luzvimindasuficiencia4804]

Awesome tutorial…thanks for sharing your wonderful time.

[@Potatointhehood]

[@Keira88]

definitely!!

[@Federicopls]

Bravo! Fantastico e facile!

[@france4me117]

Absolutely amazing ... As a matter of fact, this is so helpful so when I get my Yamaha Genos I can apply such rich lush chords which are sooo pinnical to achieve that interesting repertoire. Thanks a million

[@adamflory8473]

Really wanna take time to learn it.

[@pengnguyen9335]

This is awesome.

[@mmtthv]

I Love this, detail explanations and walkthrough, 1000 likes!!!!!

[@williebernardi7383]

Thank you so much! My resolution for the next year is to play piano jazz. And this will be my Christmas song this year...

[@ambilpeluang3518]

Great!.. Awesome!...

[@jesseyaddoamponsah1924]

I love this

[@michaelpisani5538]

Great tutorial Yannick! I like the way you take time to go over the theory in chord passages and substitutions. You take a very easy simple song and make it sound so beautiful. Bravo! Can I obtain the sheet music for your tutorials? Thanks Yannick and Johnny. Two great musicians. Mike

[@warmgun]

Is there a lesson of the arrangement that you played at the beginning of the video?

[@ginaooi6522]

So beautiful, Yannick!!!! Will be on our to-do list! Thank you!

[@kincheungleung7333]

I got it. Very clear explaination.

[@piarno1]

I love it!

[@moonie419]

thank you i love this

[@AstorSkywalker]

Why is the #11th sharp?

[@vansullivan236]

Great, thanks!

[@ceciliaolivas5803]

How to get the course please????

[@Jack-fs2im]

greatt thanx so

[@xavierpuig5911]

You are really good! It would be even more helpful and clear if you could use green color for the notes of the right hand and red color for the left one.

[@xavierpuig5911]

Hi there, your channel is awesome, guys. But a quick tip just to make it more efficient and helpful for beginners is that you should colour the right hand notes in green and the left hand notes in red. Thanks guys!

[@johndixon408]

LOVE THE TUTORIAL, Didn’t quite get how you spelled out the Dm7 chord. Would you mind a slow explanation as I am a bit of a neophyte. Thanx a lot!!! John

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you John! We are adding an "extension" or additional note above the Dm7 chord to make it DFACE. The E is what we call the 9th. It works nicely because the E is the melody.

[@theodorn]

Great arrangement, just what I was looking for, but can you add an intro? Would be appreciated.

[@pianoman6639]

Love this Channel and this beautiful song but loathe Jazz . Why don’t do it to such an iconic beautiful song ? Pass on this

[@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

Thanks exactly what I needed

[@allenmorgan]

Beginner at the piano, but I still got so much out of this. Looking forward to the days when I'm good enough to wear a hat indoors.

[@niustabuni5008]

Amen❤🎉

[@luztirado3071]

I'm playing that song at my school

[@Thrated]

What a great lesson! I've got a question - in 6:49 why do we resolve the suspended chord to A major (which is not in the key of C) instead of A minor (which is in the key of C)? Of course it sounds beautiful and it's great to play, but I'd have no idea that I could have used A major here. I've tried replacing A major with A minor and it sounds... well... as if it didn't fit there. I'd like to understand the theory behind it - why does A major work, whereas A minor doesn't? Is there a music theory concept behind it that I could read more about?

[@Thrated]

Ok I think I got it - A major could fit in there because its major 3rd (C#) is just a half step from the next chord that we're about to play (D). You've actually mentioned secondary dominants in the video, I somehow managed to skip it... This lesson is full of music theory concepts just on the right level of detail, exactly what I need. Thank you so much!

[@PianoWithJonny]

You are exactly right! Secondary dominants create some extra pull to the next chord. In this case the A7 leads to the Dm7, so we’d call it a V of ii.

[@Potatointhehood]

this would be useful for rickrolling thx xD
