John Proulx is quickly becoming my favorite instructor on this channel

[@Milliondollarmike28752]

That was a gorgeous arrangement… Is it OK for a grown man to cry? OK, I’m crying now :-)!

[@christophernorman8127]

Such a gentle unassuming presentation of a breathtaking arrangement…..Judging by the comments I was not the only one who was touched by this beautiful tutorial. Thank you😊

[@PaulZuckerman-b9x]

As good as it gets. BRAVO!

[@glm-p3]

You are the best all around piano player. Love listening to your jazz, John.💯

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you so much!

[@hgarland]

Breathtakingly beautiful.

[@dannygibor]

Because it's a slow paced ballade it gives you more time to actually think about what you're doing while playing and even plan ahead. I really like your thought process and the way you break it down. Quite naturally you add the interesting chord progressions while there are long notes or pauses in the singing, not to overshadow the singer. Great job overall.

[@luoxihuang9449]

Love you and your playing, so beautiful and touched ❤

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you so much!

Owsome arrangements and improvisation sir. I love this

[@FranticRock]

This one is a masterclass…….. will be revisited over and over

[@johnpray8519]

Wow. You hit the jackpot on this quick tip. A beautiful song, with detailed comments on chord substitutions, fillers, suggested recordings, even a little history of this beautiful song. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

[@doggiesamson]

HI Jonny! I love this piece and class by John Proux!! How about an entire class, step by step all the way through this piece? Please bring John in for this project!! I really want to learn it all.

[@smichener1]

One of my favorites! I really like when you do these videos of showing your thinking process in putting an arrangement together.

[@BenJohnson-p2m]

Simply superb! I was born in Japan because of the Korean War and never knew of the referenced connection. I will certainly follow the quick tips to make this tune a part of my repertoire.

[@Csharpflat5]

Great feeling ❤

[@tokaernest]

[@amberchiangmusic]

I love singing ballads like this. If only my jazz piano was even close!

[@MrAxko]

Absolutely gorgeous! Please, please, please make an extended PWJ tutorial including the full transcription of the arrangement for this beautiful piece! Merry Christmas!

[@LibertyWarrior68]

It's so much fun playing slower pieces, it gives you more room for improvisation.

[@kodywillnauer9422]

Great passing motives on the inside alto/tenor voicing.

Thanks Jon 👍👍

[@damienhillssax]

Really beautiful ❤😢

[@mauricioa1744]

Very nice 👏

[@kram21]

I wish he would have had this tune written out in the chart

[@dac728]

Gorgeous arrangement and performance of a tune I grew up hearing by Nat King Cole. It would be great if John P would expand this to a full course at PWJ, as he did with Misty.

[@mysteriism]

Excellent presentation. I am asking a lot of your time but could you now demonstrate with this same piece how you would play all except the intro, solo and ending it if you were accompanying a singer.

[@StopCensorship]

Same way but omit the melody notes on top. Delete the last four bars and create an new ending similar to a turn around, cutting the dominant chord out and replacing it with a major chord. The singer sings the melody and there’s one or two chords that would have to either be changed or replaced, or inform the singer. Singers can be real pains in the you know what regarding reharms..

[@rolandgerard6064]

Wow!

[@codetech5598]

Can you show us _Unforgettable_ as done by Nat & Natalie Cole?

[@Zabou58]

Any way you could write out the notes for the chords you are doing in your demo, going too fast for me to really dissect all the changes. Thanks so much

[@StopCensorship]

I’m transcribing it tonight, I’ll send you a copy next Tuesday if you want it!
