wow its gold, sometimes we are lost in all the theory, its nice to know where to go for dont give up

[@louisweiss6905]

Hello Jonny, I wonder how do you know at 5:22 that with the scale of Cminor, the chords used are Cm + Dº + Eb + Fm + Gm + Ab + Bb ? Like what is the logical progression ? With this progression I would be able to train easily on the other scales !

[@Phaseish]

when i got to scales intermediate, for G, it made the notes higher so its harder now, c ause they over lap, and obv it sounds like shit under middle c what should I do?

[@milanimaisel]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for omg... I am a classically trained pianist for 16 years but I am done with the stagnancy & rigidity of learning everything from the scores and I am now venturing into jazz piano and taking it seriously... commenting here so I will check on my progress every once in a while if anyone like/comment here lol. Can't wait to witness the progress!!

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's great! Keep us posted on how it goes

[@camus.mp3]

This has to be the goated jazz piano video of all time. 8 months in, moving onto intermediate.

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's awesome!

[@yasminmagalhaes4309]

I'm now starting learning from this video thanks to your recommendation :)

[@Mindofkavi]

The chord/scale exercise is genius. It feels more engaging and natural than mindlessly going up and down the scale.

[@SomarShamseen]

Oh my god all this is free what ?! Man this is a treasure i am a professional classical pianist and trying to get past intermediate jazz to a more advanced level and this literally feels like finding gold !!!! Thank you !!!!!❤❤❤

[@PianoWithJonny]

Awesome! Keep us posted on your progress in jazz!

[@biancaalves6938]

This is not a piano teacher this is an angel

[@queeniesongs]

Oh my goodness THANK YOU Jonny for this. I am a piano teacher and though I am very good at music theory (it was my major in college, I was the only one in the school who liked it enough to get a degree in it LOL), improvisation, comping, and arranging, I have never been a natural at Blues or Jazz. This tutorial is amazing. I love how you've made the scales and inversions fun with tasty rhythms -- I had no idea that the swing rhythm you are using was called the Charleston. I will get back to you in a year after I have been practicing some of these wonderful exercises.

[@melvinbrookins6313]

just commenting so i can get the update as well

[@LarcosMusic]

yeah also curious about the update in 6 months !

[@SitkaKeith]

I’m curious how things are going for you after 6 months. Sticking with it?

[@loriarnold9011]

Amen and amen!!

[@samcharbaji6168]

I have been a member with Johnny now for 2 years believe it or not I can successfully now play the Blues and Jazz for a lousy few dollars you cannot go wrong traditional lessons it would have cost me around 15.000I didn't think that you can learn to play piano on the internet that's why Johnny is so successful I think it was a couple years ago Johnny was celebrating 100,000 subscribers he was so happy and grateful that he was giving out games and prices on top of the dirt cheap membership

[@PianoWithJonny]

That's amazing, thank you for your support!

[@thelonestarhiker]

Dude I play professionally and have 16 years under my belt teaching. This is great stuff! I’m going to incorporate this into my personal practice 2024! It’s been a while since I’ve felt some personal direction. Thank you!

[@terryquinn2042]

A truly fantastic educational video for practicing jazz piano. You are one of the best teachers of piano on KZbin. Your explanations of how to understand modal system which I found very confusing but the way you have explained them is a light bulb moment for me. I wish I would have had a piano teacher like you from the beginning. So thank you so very much for sharing your musical knowledge and explaining it in a way that anyone can understand without feeling overwhelmed. Please keep up your tutorials, They simply are the best.👍

[@amusicalafro5819]

Dude literally just broke down the framework I needed to get started. This is it. I'm excited for my progress this next year.

[@monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

Your skills as a pianist and a teacher are amazing. You just sum up the fondamentals of piano jazz in one hour: incredibile

[@tradingwithwill7214]

as a long time guitar player including jazz i recently bought a piano and am excited to follow your amazing plan. Some of the rootless voicings i learned from your autumn leaves video example is so beautiful.

[@PianoWithJonny]

Awesome!

[@priyanthagamage2287]

Your teaching is very important. You are a good teacher. We feel your hard work for this program. I am a musician from Sri Lanka. You have the love and respect of all those who learn from you around the world. I wish you a very successful new year. May you have a year full of blessings.

[@dhanukamanoj9034]

Glad to see a Sri lankan here. Im also a sri lankan who is trying to learn jazz by self learning 🙏

[@FrancisManje]

to put this out here for free sir, there are no words to say how appreciative i personally am

[@nathankarasch8801]

First, let me say THANK YOU for all the wonderful content you've posted. I've been subscribed and watching your videos for about a month now, and they've been both motivational and highly instructive. You are a great teacher and an excellent musician! Second, if I could (humbly) suggest a 6th Pillar, it would be Listening. I come primarily from a drumming background, but I think it's pretty universal across instruments and music styles that you cannot hope to pick up the nuances of a style (like jazz) and produce a great sound/feel in that style without a healthy dose of listening, especially focused listening. There's a lot more that could be said, but I'll leave it at that. Best wishes in 2024, and thanks again! You'll find me following the 1-year plan this year along with your other students! 😁

[@markates9056]

Way to go Jonny! Have spent decades learning random stuff that I've pieced together by ear to become a ....poor piano player. Have watched some insightful teachers on YT; but have never seen anyone put together a coherent strategy like this! I'm trying to go through the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels simultaneously; and will let you know after a year...

[@DoartYT]

Good luck man!

[@stevie2673]

I'm in the same boat as you. Understand most of the theory but have no method of getting it into my hands as muscle memory. Will try to stick to this plan, it makes sense!

[@ChristianPianoMusic]

So glad I came across this practice plan. Planning on helping one of my older students with this. He wants to try out for the jazz band in college next fall! I'll let you know if he makes it. Beginning plan in October of 24 - We'll see what October of 25 brings!! Of course I will recommend him signing up for your course as well!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Great, good luck to your student!

[@ChristianPianoMusic]

@@PianoWithJonny I'll need the luck as well. :) Planning on purchasing some of your smart sheet music today!

[@gregory9028]

Amazing!!!!!! Finally this is starting to make sense. I took class piano and jazz piano at university and could not keep up. I think that if I practice these pillars everyday I can finally train my ear to recognize diatonic chords in the key of C after the first month. Very cool!!! Bud, Herbie, Chick and Ramsey here I come!!!!!!!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you, yes daily practice really trains the ear! #pwj

[@franklerch1012]

Thank you Johnny. New Year starting with a clear plan. Best gift so far ❤

[@PeterRShawTube]

Thank you!! What a fantastic clear roadmap! My biggest problem in practicing has been to nail down a systematic framework - this tutorial is exactly what I need! I especially like how you provide a means of self assessment (BPM), and related roadmaps for 3 skill levels. Plus of course ample pointers to all of your wonderful more detailed courses for deep dives on any of these subjects. I'm feeling like this will definitely get my new year of to a great start. Thank you Jonny!!

[@l.w.paradis2108]

I don't know how to thank you. This was so so SO generous. 🙏

[@vivaldesque]

Best music learning video ever! 🎶

[@manyfungus]

Thank you Jonny for the fun & easy to understand video! Ive been a pianist for over 30 yrs & tried to pick up Jazz decades ago with books, the theory was so dry with aall the different modes & no application so I had no patience to continue. Thanks to youtube & your great lesson which made it fun & enjoyable!

[@PianoWithJonny]

Thank you!

[@megarden3337]

Many TNX Jonny! I know what i want, but don't know how. Hope you stand me on right way.

[@vicmartinez4532]

I have never seen such clarity and understanding I'm going to attach to this plan

[@vicmartinez4532]

Thanks for the reply john.. What's the scale for G ° mentioned in 10' 53 .. You only mentioned G Dominant Diminished My guess is the Half Whole Diminished

[@shakidoby]

Maybe, this is a hint not to ignore. New year is ahead, I just started playing piano. I will try to follow that plan for 2024.

[@Piano_Albert]

As an advanced pianist, it's very nice to review this. I already did most of the beginner and intermediate stuff, and even if I diddn't, I could probably do it very fast. But some of the advanced stuff, I kinda tried before, but havn't practiced consistently. Especially the advanced chords bit. Yea, I really need to practice that. That is a great exercise, thank you

[@radicalrecordings]

I need to upload this video to my brain, could you make a tutorial on how to do that?

[@rickhood]

Piano with Jonny is great! I am relearning piano and have scales (major & minot) and basics down again fine. My 2024 Piano with Jonny goals are: 1. Get through all of Early Intermediate Piano Foundations - Level 4 2. Get through Blues Piano - Track 1 and Jazz Ballad Piano - Track 1 3. Be able to play 10 songs from memory by the end of 2024, some of which may come from #2 above, That may be too much, but a good goal. ---- Modes: IMHO best way to learn them is how the major scale is altered --- I think that other way of thinking about it is not useful at all.

[@robertpurdue1962]

How bout a video on a one year Blues Piano plan. ( intermediate) Looking for some disciplined direction if I am to become a future member. Love so many videos, but don’t know where to begin. Thanks for all you do. You’re a GREAT teacher.

[@juanmarinez4236]

that is great explanation, Jonny, hope I can learn to play all. Thanks

[@michael-varney-music]

Very cool! I will use this approach as a rank beginner pianist… and do it as a minimalist routine. I’m guitar focused, but I want to see how 5 min per pillar per day on piano treats me after a year. And by 5 min per day I really mean that, as I have a habit of diving too deep and spending hours, and I know with guitar I will burn out both guitar and piano if I try to put in the same time commitment to both. But I think I can carve out 30 min per day on the piano for this!

[@MrPapahen1]

Just brilliant: so clear - many thanks
