thanks Jonny, great lesson, I'm hooked

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you so much!

[@nihil8471]

This is very useful! I really appreciate those rules of thumb, as I'm always insecure about which notes to play as bass/chords Thanks a lot! :)

[@subhayansinha4417]

That thing with noting where the thumb lands was really helpful!

Tutorial by a talented and good look musician!

[@granolakitti8521]

Ohhh you are good! I want to become a student but I'm on the other side of the world. Do you record your lessons for later view?

[@chrisboucher79]

I need beginner lessons for ragtime. I've never played the piano

[@gopalarao4783]

But always thought ragtime was slow, like in the Entertainer, not as as fast as you play

[@PianoWithJonny]

It is usually played at a slower tempo. I just personally enjoy playing it faster! 😀

[@flyingsigner]

You’re overwhelming us

[@SohamBrahme2104]

Hey Jonny sir, can I use this ragtime on any song?

[@lbarreda]

Of course! Why not?

[@johnpiettro4644]

In my understanding people spend years to get to this level of ragtime freedom in the left hand.

[@roadchewerpe5759]

I have a slight problem. I can barely reach 1 octave from finger 1 to 5 on my right hand. This makes doing the forward rag roll somewhat difficult. It’s a little easier to reach an octave on my left hand, maybe because i’m left handed. Is there any way I can get around this? Stretching maybe?

[@TheDevlain]

If that is the case maybe you should use 5ths until you get enough skills with your right hand. I think that the 8th could be reached naturally after playing for a good time. But since you posted this 5 months ago, maybe by now you can stretch your right hand naturally

[@roadchewerpe5759]

Gonzalo Diaz Ailan A little closer. I don’t really play, but I play on and off, and I have noticed it’s a little easier, and the forward rag roll is definitely easier, I just had to get the motion of it down.

[@back-seat-driver1355]

this is intermediate and advanced? hm, hm, .....

[@sirpizza2044]

This isn’t classic ragtime. This is just a Johnny version of ragtime. This really isn’t what ragtime back then was built off of.

[@aaronrobinson9386]

Well if by classic ragtime you mean Joplin, even just look at something like Original Rags (Joplin's First Rag Published) or Maple Leaf Rag and you see a lot of those Rag Rolls. Again with stride. But it wasn't just entirely rag rolls. Most of it had an actual melody. Listen to something like Solace from Joplin and it doesn't seem really like ragtime but in all actuality, it is. Classic ragtime is really just dance music which can come in waltzes, marches, two steps, sometimes one steps, etc. Not just oversimplified rag rolls.

[@sirpizza2044]

@@aaronrobinson9386 still has absolutely nothing too do with Johnny's version of ragtime. if you have watched any of his other videos where he switches stuff to ragtime he uses the same exact preset with the left hand going super fast and the right hand playing the SAME EXACT melody for each of the like 20 videos hes put out. that's not ragtime. he litteraly never changes it.

[@aaronrobinson9386]

@@sirpizza2044 Thats mostly what I was trying to get at. I meant there are some elements in Johnny's playing, like the stride and the rolls, but that its only a small portion of what ragtime really is.

[@aaronrobinson9386]

Because in the first strain of Original Rags thats pretty much just rag rolls and stride but after the first strain it changes it up

blablabla 20 minutes of video for two minutes of piano... man why don't you just play and show us the sheets at the same time i think we can understand it -_-

[@georgethomasn1504]

This is advanced lesson... Like improvisation... Teaching techniques to play with improvisation... Not strict to sheet music...

[@abdc-yk4ey]

Why so short-sighted? He's teaching it so you can apply it to every song you want, not just marry has a little lamb. If you are satisfied with marry has a little lamb alone then maybe you should look somewhere else lol

[@nicolasnony2204]

@@abdc-yk4ey true, but the course is quite simple so i'm not sure it's useful to take so long to explain it. i'm quite upset because almost all courses on internet are mainly mumbo jumbo. i could indeed watch someone elses course, but it's hard to find a concise one. cheers

[@JoelsStuff]

“Why can’t you make a lesson tailored to MY needs” 😆

[@back-seat-driver1355]

yes, nicolas, that was my thought too! Intermediate/advanced?
