U explained a whole video and you played something totally different at the end which was what I came here to learn, just what you did at the end

This is incredible Johnny. This was a great way to spend 20 minutes productively. You guys will not be disappointed playing along with this.

Thank you for the step by step guide!

[jackladd]

[ginogenero]

Great lesson. I've often wondered when I cover two adjacent keys with a single thumb, if it's a bad habit...apparently not! 😉

[chezsante]

I always struggle to accompany myself on piano and will go back to guitar - thanks for this! As you can tell with my 'Song for Bruce (Take 2)' 😅

[Charlesdelight]

I learn so many techniques from these simple steps. Great work done Jonny

[thailoneus]

Love your lessons
Using yellow is great
Can you go a step further and use a different colour for the right hand?

[Cesareo]

Today I learned that, if I close my eyes, and balance my body while playing like steve wonder does, then my accompaniment suddenly and magically starts to sound better.

[zouhirlemhaouar]

Thanks great deal Jhony for these theory technics of a two-chord reharmonization six steps. So cool, so simple and so sweet.

Thanks a lot Jonny for a very interesting tutorial! 🤗 I learned a lot of new and useful things! 👍 Greetings to you from Moscow, Russia!🙋‍♀️

[FaszanatasRodrigues]

Very interesting tutorial, thank you very much. I think after step 6 you demonstrated skills that you did not explain, so adding another step or two (at least) would help to achieve what you showed in the end.
