Hi, thanks for the awesome video. Can’t you please share the full sheet for “sunny” progression 3?
That is by far my favourite Piano with Jonny lesson. Not only because of the chords, but also because of the rhythm patterns. Instant funk! Thank you so much for sharing 🎶🔥
Great as always. Thanks John 👏🏻
Great review on these progressions. Helpful!
This is what i was looking for cool funk rythems and more advanced chord progressions. Ty so much
Props to you John P. Great lesson on sunny. Really enjoyed it.
Beautifully explained and demonstrated, Jonny. Thank you!
Thank for your work! I already knew those chords but the way you've leading the stuff through the entire process of learning the chord progressions is really clear!
Piano with Jonny and John is cool! Learning a lot 👍
Amazons Video!! Thank you so much!!❤ love both of you 😊
So nice, fun to watch, learn. Thanks, Jonny Prue!

Thank you!
Great tutorial Jonny. My sunday off tomorrow will be practising these funk chords/rythms on my piano.
Hi. Drummer transistioning to piano. Love the lesson. Hard for me right now, but what a nice surprise to see my old friend Bobby Hebb! I knew him up in Massachusetts when I was very young in the 70s. He was good friends with my mom and dad.
Guys this has been so helpful for me! I watch a lot of people on youtube to supplement my Jazz studies and I really find your videos digestible and easy to follow, Thanks a million
OMG! I love it! Gonna learn the bass line on the bass and the melodies on the piano! Thx for sharing!!! 🤙🏽😎🤗
Not just funky, but full of flavours! Great video

Thank you!
Excellent lesson. Well presented.
Thanks for the instructional video. For me, the chord that instantly proclaims "funk" is a (dominant 7)#9. Used to great effect on the Clavinets and electric guitars during the 1970s.
always find myself coming back to Jonny. He's one of the good ones forreal
Good instructional video. I’m an advanced jazz and blues piano student and gained a lot from this tutorial.
Wow great teaching. I dig it...thanks
at my level of amateurish intermediate, this is the most useful video that I have watched on youtube. I am not saying it is or is not the best but at my level and my love for funk, this is definitely the most useful. Thanks Jon and Jonny
This is great stuff! Sounds totally cool and surprised me by being DOABLE for this mostly classically trained musician.
Great lesson! More Funk lessons please!
Nice work,thank you brutha🎶🎵🎶

This is a really good tutorial
Very Great. Thank you.🌹🌺🌹
Haha! I was thinking that this is as good as Piano with Jonny 😂 Man I love looking at these chords. I was playing guitar for so long and then I decided to get a keyboard so I could see these voicings better. I just love it
Thanks a lot 😊
Perfect performance!🌹❤🌹
Maravelous!!! Thanks ❤ 15:50
GREAT 🙌
Superb video!!!!
Thanks
Best video🔥✨️
Funk, we need more Funk !!! Thanks a ton.
I really like the chord progression you derived from "Sunny"! It's (in my opinion) more interesting than original.
Sub’d ya channe b/c the lessons are short, your talking tempo is perfect and the info is relevant and applicable to my styles and interests.
Love it
MORE!!!! 👏🏾
love funk piano
Excelente clase, aunque esta en ingles la entendi perfectamente.. gracias..
Love love love…
Thank you! I just walked over to the keyboard and played Grover Washington Jr’s “Mister Magic” before even completing this video!

For Grover, just change the top note from G down to F - keep everything else the same as what you played, love that progression!!
Funky is Groovely Fun And Beautifully!!!!!
Thank you. Helpful. Hip. Btw, in example 1, the 16th at the end of the bar is coming in late. I solve errors like this by using downbeat counting---subdivisions before the beat: "ta-ta-ta-4/" ta-ta-ta-1/ ...; for eighths, it would be "and 2/" and 3/ and 4/ and 1... Note how the "tatata" or the "and" is kept with the => next
Damn... nice!!!

accurate lesson ! funky youtubers thank you.
Great! Why change the key of Strassbourg? On the record it seems in A-flat (B-flat min 9 -> C min 9 -> D flat Maj 7). And the bass has a slight different pattern? But thanks, inspiring!
Super, super,super🎉Mercy❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH I HOPE YOU TEACH ON REAL LIFE MERCI A TOUT LES GARS COMME VOUS PEACE DE FANCE
On progression #1 the left hand notes being played are not explained or notated? How do you figure what to play in the left hand? Thanks?
We want the funk. Gota, gotta have that funk
“Today l am teaching funk. I think I’ll wear my funk attire, funk glasses and funk hair style for this.”
Could you recommend some more examples I could break down for Funk?
These were the first chords I learned as a kid playing piano transitioning from bass and guitar

Just to check, would you play the C major scale over all of these progressions?
That alt chord! Opening chord of pick up the pieces.
Great stuff John. The notes are a bit blurred and hard to read though.
Dope
👏👏👏👏
HOw does the Bflat 9 become a II ?
Great stuff Even for guitar players like me. Hahaha.

I guess it's for teaching purposes, and it's alright..., but it'd be cool to tell the guys warching, the actual true tonalities of the mentioned songs just so they learn them too in their original keys. For instance Chameleon is realy in Bbm9 and Eb7, and Strasburg S.t Denis is in AbMaj, a fourth away from the tonality here cited. Cool vid anyhow, very simple, clear and concise for beginners. Cheers!
really great lesson but i have a question! isn't the c13 actually a "C13(b7)" or am i crazy??? feel like i'm missing something

I guess the flat 7 is already included in the fact that it is a dominant chord.
