Thanks, coach. This man teaches with such great passion. He teaches in such a way that a beginner like me can catch up ❤

[melindaxbc]

Jazz is what you're playing. (sad face) Blues is what I love.

[samjoal]

I just watched this during lunch, not a piano before me, and it answered so many questions. Really motivated now.

[dannylgriffin]

I think this is really good. I think I need to check it out deeper! As a very amateur player who can play rock, jazz. and classical from sheet music I always found blues improv hard.

Magnífico trabajo para los profesores. Mil Gracias!!!

[susannalovestosing]

Thank you, can you please do the five levels of r&b piano next.

[Jack-mvsx]

Johnny you are the man i love your teaching style

[amigodejesus]

Sensacional, muito bom ensino e fácil de compreender. Parabéns !!!

[brucejeric]

Thanks Jonny!
I think im ready for advanced? Have other stuff under my fingers. Need practice with chromatic approach notes and emclosures in right hand. In my left hand I need to learn walking bass and drop 2 voicings. Play mostly stride with rootless 3 and 4 note voicings and guide tones

Cool video, Jonny. BTW, I have a theory on where the blues shuffle/boogie rhythm came from.

[jayswizzle]

I like to think of the mixo blues scale as a mix of the major and minor blues scales.

Hi Jonny,

We love your channel...so inspiring.
Just wondering if you might have a version of "Knocks me off my feet" by Stevie Wonder? I have been trained in classical piano and am learning your style for the first time. Any help or direction from you would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

[thomasstambaugh]

Very nice! The vocabulary, especially at level 5, is really helpful.

I've always wondered why the 13th isn't called a 6th -- aren't they the same?

Finally, I notice that you don't mention turnarounds. Is that intentional?


I really appreciate this excellent survey of blues piano.

[enriquenietojr]

Hello Jonny I am very much interested in learning jazz piano, however do you have a DVD available to me that I can purchase. So I can practice with it daily.let me know what it costs.
Thank you E.Nieto, II

[cechichan]

Hello! Question, do you have midi download too for your lessons? I'd love to get the subscription and be easier to write these down for my guitar playing that way haha :D

[InformerMessagesOnHoldDarien]

Im a pwj member. I’m pretty good at level 3, what’s the best course for me to solidify my skill so I can take the next step?

[Foxes]

Both of my hands are in sync. I can't seem to get them to be independant.
