Appreciate video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good exclusive product for learning piano fast without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.

I know how to turn my piano ON.
I love the way you break this stuff down and demystify it for classically trained students. It would be awesome if this exact progression of lessons existed as a 'learning track' on your site. I just picked up a membership recently and am having a ton of fun with the 'How to Improvise With The X Scale' courses.
WOW, this style of teaching is EXACTLY what I've needed! A complete yet succinct overview, giving ME control to identify areas of weakness and dive into them. With highly capable learners that have a decent but patchy foundation of understanding, so much time is wasted by trickling information in a sequential manner. This demystifies the more advanced levels that I haven't gotten to yet, but now have in my sights. THANK YOU!
Thank you, I am really enjoying this Jazz course.
This is the most helpful video I've found so far. Thank you
Thank you so much Jonny ! I feel like I now know how to structure my jazz piano learning journey 🙏
You’re such a great teacher! Thanks for sharing, with such clarity, you’re inspiring.🙏🏽 🎼🎶🎵
Thank you very much Mr Jonhy for explaining us so much stuffs in a short time. It is very clear ! Stay blessed !
This is an awesome video! Nice to see an overview of the path we should be pursuing. Thanks for the clarity, Jonny!
Great information Johnny! Well taught!! Very useful for inspiring musicians!
Dude, you just summarized knowledge that takes years to assimilate into a few minutes video... Amazing!
What a great summary! Love all your lessons at pwj.
Wow, such a complete explanation in a short video. Definitely going to check out those lessons!
That is really helpful Thanks a lot❤️
Jonny, I like the way to resume hard jazz harmony concept in such a short time with easy words Thanks for all. You demystify a lot of things.
Wow! All of this in one place! Thank you, Jonny!
Wow! Learned a lot! Thanx so much!
This single video put everything I know about music theory into context. Thanks so much! Excellent teaching skill, not to speak of piano skills!
Your content is amazing, thank you so much!
This was exactly what I’m looking for! This video inspires me to learn jazz (a dream come true). I’m signing up to learn as a complete beginner! See you in there Jonny!!
Thanks so much! This is excellent!
Thank you so much, this really gave me more direction in my practicing. I'm self taught
Thank you Jonny!!!! Great lessons!!!
You rock Jonny, amazing, you structure things in a very pedagogical way!
An excellent summary of complex information in an easy manner... Your students are lucky Jonny to have such an excellent teacher...
Wow this Video is absolutely awesome. Thank you so much!!!
Your videos are super. Thank you so much!!! 👍👍👍
I have work to do! Thanks so much for breaking it down for those of us who took just regular old piano lessons.
Amazing lesson!!! Thank you so much!!!
thankyou so much Mr. Jonny!
Learned and generous Thanks and ever thanks
Good work jonny!!!!
awesome video Jonny!!
Amazing 🤩 this is so good to know where I am in my playing and what I need to do. I tend to play 7th chords in the different inversions on my right hand and might add a run. Kinda randomly to be honest but occasionally hit some nice sounding stuff. This explains what is happening and really helps me on the theory. Thanks loads!!
I am an older guy who listened to all kinds of music during my life, and now, I am beginning to learn the inner workings. I have just learned to play the 12 majors and the notes on the staff. Your example of these jazz sounds was excellent, especially tying the sounds to the known players who used them. I found this video to be encouraging, if a little daunting. Because my dad is now 101 years old, I know that I will have decades to get this down, along with a firm foundation in classical. Well done.
What a great video! Thank you!!
Amazing information. Very thorough
The drop 2 chords gave my ears literal eargasm :DDDDD
Absolutely wonderful maestro!
Your able to simplify techniques where others try to over complicate. Good job👍
This is the coolest explanation of piano levels! Brilliant!!

Thank you very much💜🎶
Your teaching method is Amazing.
love this man, what a good Video
good job Jonny! this vid help me a lot!
Great lesson, Jonny. I realize, your lesson is just a survey but it should be note that to become proficient in any one of the techniques you covered, especially the later ones, we're talking countless hours and hours (or months and months) of intense practice. So, I like that you refer us to your courses on each of the techniques you demonstrated.
Thanx, Maestro. 🔥🌹🌹🔥
Great explanation! 🎹 😎👍🏻
Nice !thanks
very good!!!!!!
The NUTZ N’ BOLTS OF JAZZ PIANO. THANK YOUI, JONNY FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO1
I went back to playing classical piano and hit a great many 7th chords both in the Classical and Boroque period pieces. So I may take a break and relax with some jazz after listening to your 10 steps video. I am sure it will help with the Classics I am tackling too. I just wish my brain were as sharp as before - now that I have hit 74. You play wonderfully so -thank you for your fabulous, exciting and inspiring video, Jonny.
This is gold thanks man i love you
I’ve been looking at vids for past few months (and to likely to convert to paid membership). FINALLY someone is able to put so much critical AND essential info in one vid /lesson plan. This is my 3rd video watching of yours, and may be the clincher $$.
I didn’t realize the block chords were that simple. Thank you so much!
everything I ever needed :)
Thank you so much. I love jazz and want learn how to play it. That drop 2 chord sounds like Harry Connick Jr. to me.
When I heard the block chords I was in love

Wonderful video! Been looking for this forever. This just made me verry happy! I'm surprised the list didn't include pentatonic/blues scales, modes and improvisation techniques / riffs, though.

You don't have to complete each step perfectly to move onto the next step. Some keys will always be harder than others, only because you will spend more time in certain keys. I actually started learning jazz at step 6 (A and B voicings) because I needed to play with others in class immediately. The teacher gave me those to just to get me started. Do I know all my minor scales in every key instantly? No, but that doesn't keep me from playing and having fun while I learn more.
