This is the first time I have ever left a comment on a video--this video is sooo very helpful. I am somewhat advanced and get tired of having to wade through beginner info to get a couple of gems. This has gems all the way through with things that I can implement easily and others that will take a bit of time. Please do more videos like this one! TY! I even started listening to John on Spotify! His style is what I would call "accessibly advanced." ty!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you so much, John does a lot of advanced Quick Tips!

[@EmeryDeWitt]

Fantastic lesson, just enough detail to whet the appetite to dive into some of these techniques.

[@ecoxiety]

g-r-r-e-a-t! Thanks John, loads of inspiration in there.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

Working on this song now for the lead sheet portion of my key of F month. Needless to say, mine doesn’t sound like this! But I think there are bits and pieces I can use. This was great!

[@christophernorman8127]

The clarity and detail make this a great tutorial. We get less of the:- " And then I just did this-twiddle- twiddle - nice playing - twiddle twiddle" school of piano teaching, which only "teaches" confusion and low self-esteem ... And more of the:- " I'll show you in a way that is accessible" Yes. It requires a relatively good understanding of jazz harmony but that is only because of its intermediate/ advanced level. Thank you John

John’s the best teacher!

[@budpyle8388]

As usual, John has gifted us another gorgeous rendition of his music style. Not for beginners, but If you haven't viewed his other arrangements, you are certainly missing some exceptional listening & learning.

[@Daozhille]

This is pure gold!!! Thank you so much! ❤🤯🔥

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!

[@rachelsmename6]

I really appreciate the comprehensive blog on this arrangement with the membership. It made the techniques easier to learn. Thank you!

[@adriandiaz7261]

Incredible and amazing lesson John!!! Thank you very much!!!!

[@fe-dor]

Very useful lesson with inspiring performance. Thank you John!

[@munkeepilot]

Thanks to your beautiful rendition of Georgia, my wife says I’m soon gonna be a daddy 🎉

[@markr8326]

Amazing lesson John ,thank you! Please could you make a lesson on 'THAT'S LIFE' (Sinatra) sometime (?) There seem's a similarity in feel of both songs though 'That's Life' get's neglected (IMO) it's a song that makes a superb solo piano piece & makes a great Jazz-Blues alternative(I also relate to the lyric statement more than I do 'Georgia')

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's a great suggestion!

[@nileevans6752]

@@PianoWithJonny That would be AMAZING John! I'd love to play that tune it's got attittude. Invokes images swinging in Vegas with Sinatra & Sammy Davis.

[@guitargod6997]

If you played That's Life in the key of F, you find the progression is not far apart from Georgia On My Mind.

[@denisbaumann8451]

Merveilleux, merci!❤

[@ajacsson]

Waiting with much love

[@babsyg]

[@alessandrosantana3161]

Hellow: Waiting for more of this wanderful lesson. Good job, teacher! 😎🇧🇷

[@dd7579]

Superb !

[@medeliworld]

I would like to see a tutorial on the song "I left my heart in San Francisco". Thanks.

[@anandgodane8022]

Very nice excellent performance sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!

[@ratghost25]

Excellent playing. Ray Charles was your inspiration, but your version came out sounding a little more like Dr. John's style.

[@Rungus27]

the arrangement is really beautiful but when you make changes/substitutions to the chords in the lead sheet I lose track of where you are and why you made those changes and just end up really confused

[@chrisparker5372]

Oh God! That left hand at about 1:25. Insane! Yummy!

[@nelobrunomusico-consultant4628]

😮❤😅😊

[@usaroman]

Don’t know where to post this question. I am slightly confused by their being more than one Jonny in this channel and I just saw another guy using this same account that makes it 3 Jonnys. I would be nice if you gave your subscribers a heads up 😮😮😮

[@cwestmont]

Jonny May is the lead instructor, but he has many excellent other instructors including John P featured here. I have been learning from their website for three years and can highly recommend them.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!
