This is what the internet was made for, not for all the social media narcissism and ranting that is worthless and teaches us nothing but division. I will make a real effort to sit with this instruction and make my life better!! Might even make another person feel good when I can put this on their ears. You are a positive force for the world. THANK YOU!!!

You've revealed the hidden secret to playing jazz lines as a whole in this lesson Jonny. Thank you so very much 👍🙏

Great stuff. I love that you don't take the approach of a lot of teachers: "You can't do anything until you know everything!" This gets me started with some simple concepts that sound great. I can learn them in C and then after I have the hang of that go on to other keys, etc. Really helps to get me actually playing.

This dude is legit!! 🤩

Ill be honest Jonny, when i seen your ads i thought you were just another guy trying to trick me into paying for a useless program, but man your way more than that I’ve actually learned thing is cool thank you.

Finally...I'm retired and have time to learn some Jazz and improv. I studied classical from 7yrs old and got pretty good, majoring in music at UCLA. Even toured with the long Beach State Symphony orchestra back in the day. The problem was while I could read and play just about anything on sheet music I never understood or learned how to do the cool jazz and improv stuff that people want to hear! So I am thrilled to find this site and I'll be signing up shortly!!! awesome site, thanks...:)

Great lesson using neighbor tones to give lots of 'color' to the basic major scale --- and now it sounds like jazz!!

Finally in 2020-s youtube music lessons became sooo perfect and clean! No any wasted second. Thanks man, this stuff is simply great!

start with the blues scale for begginers. WAAAAAAy better. Bebop is for experienced musicians, no novice is going to be able to practice in a way that is rewarding encouraging to their development

Smart, accessible, and friendly as usual. Especially that you help beginners, and intermediate players, avoid the complexities of chord scale theory. Also, this is what Barry Harris says " We didn't have time to think about all those scales ".

Best teacher!

I'm just commenting to help the algorithm, because all I have to say is what everybody else said. Awesome content!

Your lessons and music always make me so happy :) Thank you!

Massive piano lesson ❤

All this time I never knew about chord shells. I didn’t know there was a name for them. I’m self-taught and even now I’m still learning.

been waiting for something like this from you, thanks jonny!

I wish I could find someone who teaches drawing in such a great way as Jonny teaches piano!

Best teacher ever,very generous with your concepts

Thanks Jonny … you make learning so easy, and enjoyable.

So super amazing!!❤️

Great video as always

Oh Man! Is there anything you can't play, Jonny? You sound amazing!

Thanks for the great step by step lessons

Woow I just discovered the concept of neighbors thank you !

Great stuff sir❤

Amazing content and presentation! Thank you!

Johnny... just started.. I had skipped this earlier.. I am starting to feel and hear the approach notes much better. I am noticing that playing over the D-7 Left Hand with with Db D# is much better experience than just playing the notes themselves on the R.Hand. still working on it. I believe the first 2 approach notes up and down, according to the D7 chord are b9 #9. Could be wrong. .

thanks Jonny with you everything is easy... with me willian from Indonesia..🇲🇨

You are amazing💜 I will have to slow this down and give it a try. Thank you.

Thank you Johnny for remember us how relevamt are the chromatic approaches.

Very fruitful lesson ❤️❤️❤️

In this particular video, he hardly mentions right hand rhythm - he only mentions "coming up in triplets" at one point (playing 3 notes evenly within the space of 2 beats), but that's an occasional thing. Most of the time it's pairs. Anyone who's wondering why their solo doesn't sound like Jonny's... listen to how he swings the solos. He does play the triplets in a few places where they feel appropriate, but most of the time he pairs the notes and swings each pair slow-fast slow-fast slow-fast slow-fast instead of playing evenly spaced notes. His left hand is playing the Charleston rhythm that he showed how towards the beginning. He often doesn't swing the solos' notes when he shows them to us slowly, but it's there again when he speeds up and it sounds "right". So, make sure to feel that right hand swing, and give it a try. Also listen for when he pauses with a longer note or an empty space, get a feeling for when those and the triplets are due.

Bebop piano is so peaceful and soothing! Great lessons. Thanks Jonny!

Thank you Johnny.

I love this but have one question, I feel it will get old and repetitive quickly, is there a break out from this, maybe throw in some power chords occasionally ? What do you suggest ?

This dude is a great teacher. I’m considering buying his lessons

I love you

Thainkes Pianos with Jonny! This video taughte me how to WIN against my haiters with my Watto song, and it wa NEVER BETTER!!! THAINKES JONNY’s

Great! 👍

Can you make more of bebop surrounding videos

1:13 sounds like "Sunday morning" -maroon 5

Спасибо!!! привет из Украины

super !

🙏🏾

Man i love cowboy bebop. tiraba cualquiera xd

Jonny, sounds like an approach from above the chord tone can be either chromatic or diatonic, right?

Bebop go

This video truly demystifies what's going on in Bebop.

En el título yo cambiaría la palabra "escribió" por "inspiró". Tal vez podría usar "escribió" para Hey Jude y Bach (take a Bach song and make it better). Saludos

Cowboy bebop

The video Charlie Parker and Bud Powell used.

O principal é tocar as notas de passagem sempre na parte fraca de tempo. Se não fizer isto, não soa bem, não dá certo.

How about rootless 2 5 1.

Do you think this can be applied to say a guitar? As long as I identify quickly my important notes

It's just a video about enclosures with shell voicing ! Not a bebop lesson 😅
