I'm so confused why modes are harder than scales..... Especially since your not actually playing them across keys in the example .

@alexandrevalente9994

​@@antomcmanus1775 hi, what is confusing? A scale is a succession of notes. The mode is how this succession must be. Read the modes in C major, then it's enough to transpose. This is true for a lot of instruments.

That video will keep me busy for 6 months.

Man. I was in a pretty dark place. Your channel has changed my life. I'll make a weekly exercise schedule of your lessons and start truly practicing. There's still hope. Thank you so much and God bless you! ❤

That’s what I call a teacher. This is seriously what I need to develop my goals on the piano.

I know how to play the piano but I would never have explained or taught it as clearly as he explains and teaches it.

I'm not a keyboardist but I watch your videos for general music theory because you are just so good. Thank you

You are fantastic! I'm Italian but your way of teaching is the best to understand jazz. Well done! I'm a beginner and with you I want to learn. Greetings Claudio

So nice learning piano with young Ralph Fiennes!

Ok, so as an advanced pianist, in addition to saying that Jonny's videos that I've seen so far are awesome, someone needs to say that this guy has beautiful hands, fingernails, and rings. What a pleasure to watch and to listen to!

What I do for learning modes is to focus on C major and then simply put this: it is playing Cmajor scale but shifting the root. As an example, consider Dminor,it is the second chord of CMajor ... we start to play over Cmajor scale but shifting the root to D... this is called D Dorian but in fact it is simply C major starting from D. From there you apply this to every chord of the C Major and then you cross all the modes. It is simplistic but at the end... this is what it is. Of course... the art is to make good music with that and that is another piece! This course is amazing.

What I like in yur way of teaching is that the exercises are funny and sound good. This make your course funny while being very good. This way of teaching opens to different ways to learn scales and phrasing. You are very creative and give me ideas on how to practice them differently on a guitar too.

Dear Jonny, thank you for your endless hours of work you put into your helpful videos. I went from not playing anything 4 weeks ago to writing my one song stealing those cords from fly me to the moon. Jonny your the Man. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Regards Marcus.

Is crazy how Johnny knows so much of piano. A genius with his new formulas exercises, tips, tricks, theory, etcc and the way he plays every genre, and he is still a young guy.

As a late beginner/early intermediate player, I can't emphasize enough how great your videos are Jonny. Thank you so much for taking standard instruction and transforming it into useful real-life playing material. Invaluable lessons!!

One of the best piano lesson I've ever seen!!!!

Amazing exercises. Thanks. Now it's a question of discipline and patience 😄

This is the most comprehensive and detailed tutorial. Everyone leaves knowing exactly what they need to do and I can definitely see a path to better jazz playing

What a great exercise to force myself to learn most of the scales, not just the typical ones. Added bonus of learning to transition smoothly. Thanks, Jonny.

I enjoy Johnny's teaching so very much!! he has a gift for communicating the concepts of piano playing thank you!!!!❤

Your teaching methodology is amazing, Jonny. Can't wait to try this when I get home.

Beautiful I love this ,I've been try to learn jazz and I know this exercise would really help me out please more on this exercise

Great tips for piano practice for all genres because these exercises universally help your ear and body assimilate the keys while working your creativity and dexterity! Thank you, Jonny!

Good video. Thank you. I’ve watched a lot of videos and your videos are the best I’ve seen so far. Simple and straight forward without a lot of overselling or BS. Will check out your course.

Oh, man, this is the most incredible way I have ever seen on youtube to learn scales and chords. The best thing is that it comes with fingerings...that's the GREATEST part of it. I'll definitely buy these lessons. Thanks.

Hi Johnny I am a starting beginner, I have browsed numerous sites on KZread about learning, and wasn't convinced because I know something is missing until I accidentally came across you lesson. This is what I'm looking for. Thank you. I'll start now.

Fantastic lesson Jonny This is no doubt what has been missing in my play/improvisation It's just what I have been looking and needed at this time Thank you Jonny May

Brilliant, so much packed into even the first 5mins 👏

After studying these scales and chords by breaking it down into paterns. Becoming better in my playing with more confidence is a breeze.

Thanks so much, you are a very good teacher, I've learnt so much from your lessons and benefitted so much from your exercises.

Fantastic tips - been playing scales for 60 years and this is a great less boring alternative that hopefully will help me get to improvise at some point- I also tried it with a stride type bass - fun!!

Great! Thanks Jonny!

Nicely organized and presented, TYVM.

Realy great fundamentals brought up in the smartest way! Thank you!

awsome lessons ! Really appreciate this video !

Great lesson !!! Bravo !!!!

Just. Amazing. Thank you

Good one. Thanks Jonny! 🙂

Excellently presented and demonstrated information… Thank you!

Love your explanation, the exercises sounds supercool. I will certainly try them. Thank you.

Hi thanks for such clear instructions ❤

Brilliantly explained - thanks

Thank you,Jonny. Blessings 🌹🌹🌹🌹 FANTASTIC, MAESTRO 😎

This is fire. Preciate you.

고마워요......Jonny! 열심히 따라 해 볼께요......^^

Brilliant. Precise. Clear. joy.

I’m impressed with how “jazzy” these basic patterns sound in stepwise chord progression. The swing is the thing. It instantly enlivens that old warhorse, the diatonic scale, into something entertaining and fun. There’s more to it than just dotting the 8th notes. Something about the underlying subdivisions and syncopation that creates that “swing” that does mean a thing. Because it means everything in the style of jazz. Practicing playing 6 different intervals from the root note is one of those “why didn’t I think of that”. A simple and effective way to keep your muscle memory supple.

Awesome!

Exquisite explanation.

One of the best learning videos Ive seen on youtube. Excellant video.

Thank you MASTER !!!

Great lesson. Thx.

Wow thank you so much for sharing..i now begin to understand this approach..

Thank you❤

Ohhh Johnny may my favorite pianiste for many years Thanks for this lesson

Your patient tone has really grown on me; thanks.

Dear Johny, thank you so much for these videos and your work! I discovered them earlier this week, and already feel so much more comfortable approaching the piano keys themselves. I've been trying to learn "Fall In" by Esperanza Spalding by memorising the notes - very, very slow and complicated. And today - voila! I actually looked at the chords in the score and all the intricacies suddenly made sense, to the point of almost playing by heart. It is your manner of speech, explaining and demonstrating, and the structure of your videos that make all that jazz seem possible and curious rather than threatening. Before I only knew how to put the septachords together. Now I am able to practically engage in playful exploration of music. Such a gift. 🎉

Big one class. Thanks Master jonny

I’m continually amazed. ❤

Thank you so much for this good lesson, even for a French jazz guitarist theses exercices are interesting !

So lovely🎉❤

One of the best video lessons that i have ever found !!!

Johnny, thanks. With this exercise, I feel that I am finally getting somewhere after struggling for several years.

I love it! Bravo!

This is the best one standards jazz explanation I've ever seen. Amazing and easy understandable teaching method.

Wonderful! 👍

You are simply the best! ❤

This was so fun! Thank you for this :)

Brilliant introduction to jazz playing which ties in existing knowledge of diatonic scales. Well done.

A few weeks ago I decided to stop playing ordinary diatonic scales because they were taking over my brain. Thanks so much for this lesson - one of the best ever!

Excelent lesson! 👌

Very helpful, even for me as a jazz guitarist. Thank's!
