Johnny, your teaching is top-notch. Thank you for your lessons. A lot of theorists stick to the beginner or intermediate stuff, but you are one of the few that delves into the meaty stuff, yet do it in a way that appears to be beginner. The mark of a master.

Great job Johnny! After 20 years never understanding music theory, the puzzle pieces are finally coming together.

I've never seen anyone explain this as thorough yet in an easy to understand way. The double keyboard graphic puts it over the top. Jonny, simply brilliant!!!

10 minutes to explain what nobody has been able to decrypt for me in 30 years. Love ya Johnny! Going to look into your full-length courses. Keep it up, you’re really helping me make the leap to pro!

THE best lesson. Why? - Because anyone can understand and anyone can play these unexpectedly wonderful "colors" sounding like a pro, - sounding years beyond your basic chord progressions. All you have to do is watch.. perhaps a couple of times over until it all clicks in, - but at 16 minutes per view it is super easy to digest and so worth your time. Then say: "Thank you". As the people listening to your performance certainly will !!

I'm a guitarist first with only a passing interest in piano. But your lessons are so straightforward and clear, I still prefer them for learning and experimenting with theory. Keep up the good work :>

Absolut great! Clear explanation. Very well done: Keep it up!

Eleven months later. I lost everything. Built it back. Here I am again relearning. It's easier the second time, but no less amazing. Thank you again!

Love how the jargons of music theory are unravelled step by step with each melodious sounding chords. I finally understand and appreciate what chord voicings are with one simple sentence reinforced with examples. Thank you.

This is what I needed, finally a video with a good teaching about it. So grateful Jonny!

So inspiring! Thank you, Jonny, so much!❤

Finally found a video that explains the why and how of extensions simply. Thank you.

This really helps me to understand extensions. Thanks so much

Johnny you are Top Man. You explain everything and it is so inspiring. Your teaching is superb as is your playing. I just love watching your videos and your enthusiasm is so very infectious. Keep up the fantastic lessons. Top Man.

Love lessons like these! Applying some basic theory to chords you already know to make them sound even better!

You make the piano sound even More beautiful ❤

Thank you Johnny I truly enjoyed this lesson today it open my mind about extensions I did overstaying a bit about what they are ,but you made me look at it differently looking at it all in one hand thank you so much keep up the good work ✔️😌✨️

Very beautiful! Thank you very much, Jonny!

The idea of categorising voicings of a specif types of chord by which note is on top of the chord, is very useful for me. I have long sought a way of categorising extended voicings, beyond the obvious forms. It seems a good way forward to have one vocing for every top note (3rd, fifth, root) in your muscle memory.

Love these lessons

Hands down the best piano lessons on youtube.

Thanks Master to open my eyes , God bless you more 🙏

I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but your screen said "further from the 'turth'" instead of "truth". Made me chuckle. Great tutorial as it always is with Jonny!

Love this lesson. You made it simple to learn.

You are such an excellent teacher. I don't want to take up your time with my story. But these lessons, especially this one, come along at a perfect time for me. I hope whatever you need will be yours.

so use the 9 and/or 13 if the third of the base chord is major, and use the 9 and/or 11 if it's minor?

great stuff thank you!!

Thank you sir,Jonny.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Maestro

This man is truly piano teacher

❤the best piano teacher in the world

Amazing tutorial Jonny!

Most awesone.

This was amazing!

Thank you.

amazing lesson !!!

Its almost embarrassing I didn't figure this out myself. Also, I see you're mashing two notes at once with your thumb. Finally I get to do on purpose what I've been doing accidently for 40 years.

ur the goat bro

Wow ❤

Awesome 👍😎

You are the best

Love It,,,

Are inversions of extended chords common in music?

Brilliant! Well explained.

Slick

@13:53 where's the minor 3rd? thx

I didn’t know Ralf Fiennes was into music theory

How can I get it written ?

Hi

These chords don’t sound that good. But then again I didn’t make that face while I was playing..😂

Funny how in the beginning I'm literally opposite. I'm the opposite of pro. Opposite of knowing what I do. Able to produce amazing chords just by hearing it. (subjective? perhaps.) Not being able to do anything else with it.
