This left hand arpeggio is incredible and really deep Excellent video

[carlorachel]

Hey Jonny, I write to you often and always find myself saying the same theme: You are a Godsend not only to keyboardists but to musicians in general. Your kindness as a person makes you immediately likeable and your generosity to freely share your knowledge puts you in the rarefied legion of music Saints. I love you, brother.

[vibeinc]

Boy you is a genius I’m finally able to understand this type of theory language so I’m glad that I found this

[slimrell]

This video is super helpful!!! I’m trying to learn music and you explain things perfectly! Thank you!!

[MCLBC]

Your lessons have significant substance Jonny. Can't thank you enough for sharing and changing how I play this beautiful instrument!

[royhadley]

Beautiful chord progression and improvisation techniques. Many thanks from a 70 year old beginner from across the pond. Your videos are an inspiration to me. Keep up the great work.

[michaelmarino]

Thanks so much Jonny. As an aging learner of the keyboard and the jazz genre I am very grateful that you share your passion knowledge and technique without reservation

[monicaconsigliereLavieenfleur]

The chirds remind me a bit of the siundtrack of Baghdad café

[MrSyer]

It is amazing that you share your knowledge with us completely for free. As always, incredible content. It is unbelievable how much one can learn from your videos.

Hi there - I've just started watching your videos and am in awe - currently just doing the blues challenge as a complete beginner and am really enjoying it. This video reminds me or the Death of love and trust from the firm - I'd love to see some tips (or a course) around the Firm's Dave Grusin score.

[mjmassi]

Nice! I was playing around with this... I love the left hand pattern. I changed the Gm chord to G7b9b13, then went to Abmaj7 Dm7b5 G7#9 Cm7 (or Cm69 if the last time through). What do you (or anyone else) think of that? Oh and another thing... I made the bass pattern 9 beats long... 1 1 1 1 3 2 (with emphasis on the fifth note).

[davidwilkie]

Great minor chord progressions, Jonny!
May I ask what keyboard or digital piano you teach from?
David

[tadejcajnkar]

why you dont age johhny? :) whats the secret? 😂

[sonnyanthonyzabala]

Beautiful melody! There is just something so deep and mysterious with minor chord progressions. I actually like it better than major and diminished.

[PackPiano]

What would be something similar on a major chord

[clydesandry]

I am a member of Piano With Jonny and I just want to say how awesome the teaching is. Also, this quick tip is another example of exceptional teaching. I am going to use this and put a performance video on the PWJ sharing forum. Thanks again to the maestro for another very useable learning 👋👋👋👋👋

[Buhabitat]

You are amazing!! I subscribed for a year and had my piano in a box. This lesson has encouraged me to take it out of the box. Thank you!!
