Oh Jonny (Oh Jonny Oh) I started messing with piano aged 5..I'm now 79...yes I've been playing jazz ( dixieland) and pop stuff and never really got out of those styles even though I've attempted, never had any lessons, folks hear me at gigs and say " you're great" but I know that's rubbish because I fake everything ... suddenly you've opened my eyes to what it's all about with chords I've heard played, but never managed to work out...I think I'm past my sell-by date to start learning music but I'll be going through your tips and start practicing.. I might even get there! Thanks very much.

For a complete beginner? No!
Man, I am so glad you are on youtube. All those free exercises man, really appreciated.
This is one of the best ever lessons for absolute beginners who are intimidated by jazz. Everything you taught was extremely simple yet also sounds very musical and is extremely applicable right away. Thank you so much for this
Totally agree! Such a great teacher. Speaks so fluidly & coherently I understand so much. You should win an award!
That's pretty nice. Very few take the concept of "beginners" seriously and end up creating frustration. You've really done well, thanks :)
Oh man it s amazing what i’ m able to do after only this short lesson, can t imagine after a full immersion in your videos. Thanks so much
Thank you for these lessons. Piano and Jazz can look so daunting as a complete novice but you explain it clearly whilst allowing the lesson to flow efficiently. I think the most important thing however, is it feels like you're having fun and that makes what would normally be mundane feel enjoyable. Appreciate it man
This is amazing! I've seen so many videos that makes me feel that I don't know where to start. This is a great start! Thank you!
Arguably one of of the best videos for beginners
Oh my goodness, I've been wanting to learn Jazz Piano for YEARS and never knew where to start as I don't know music theory (want to learn that too). This video has completely revived my desire. I cant thank you enough. I will definitely be taking a look at your website Johnny! :)

Indeed, I have several jazz books (I bought with enthousiasm :) but once at home, I did not really know where to start! Or did not always understand what was meant.
Thank you Jonny - you're awesome! You were my music teacher at Hawarden Hills Academy way back in the day, great to see you again!
Thank you so much Jonni! Such an amazing lesson! I am a beginner, but I love jazz!
awesome, love how you make the basics accessible to everyone!
THANK YOU! I play by ear, and I love singing jazz, but I didn't know if I'd really be able to play it very well for a long time! This made SO much sense!
Amazing demonstration for all of us that love how to improvise... Thanks a lot Jonny
Thank you for sharing this. You are such a blessing for us begginers in jazz world. God bless.
So clear, and precise. Thank you!
thank you very much, i watch that video and ,oh god thank you .I was watching others who were saying the chords but they werent saying the paterrns of the right hand .So when the time came for me to improvise i couldnt .So again, thank you very much and thank god that i discovered you. Be well🧡🧡

Why do u think it’s so hard? I just began piano lessons a month ago. Classical. I plan to switch to a jazz teacher after 6-12 months. Got any advice?
@collinm.4652
Жыл бұрын
@@newagain9964 I think it’s just so hard cuz it’s an entirely different realm of music from classical. I grew up classical so the transition is also something I am struggling with. I’ve simply taken on the mindset of a beginner and ignored anything I learned in the past to try and make room for new learning which has made it a lot more easier to learn.

this guy’s a legend. I smile immediately hearing the backing track while playing them chords xd
I have learned many music theories, like triad, seventh chord, major, minor scales, inversion,....etc. But I didn't know exactly how to use them. This guy just sort the things up and make it simple for beginner. Great job, so helpful.
I’ve been seeing your youtube ads everywhere and I never cared for them because I’m currently delving into classical music. I listen to both jazz and classical music and both have their aspects that make me SO fond of them, but I’ve only analyzed into the innerworkings of classical music because I’ve grown up around the importance of sight reading. Most people say that you can only learn one genre at a time, however today I felt eager to learn jazz and came upon this video. This video made my day, I am so mesmerized and I’m only 4 minutes in! Thank you for this video Johnny :)
This is really great lesson. Easy to learn and so enjoyable.
PERFECT ! i play by ear and you STILL made it simple for me. you rock man i cant stop smiling
I feel like this is the best class that I’ve ever attended!! I enjoyed the music sooo much. Thank you !
I Really Loved The Gospel Scale , Now I Keep Learning It...
Thank you for this! Been playing classical for 10 years but never even touched jazz but am wanting to get into it. It’s always great to have variety!
Beautifully explained , thanks a lot ❤️❤️,, got my basic grip on jazz ,, a good 1 month of work on different scales without getting bored.. thanks again
Another really great video, love these simple ways to get started playing jazz! Cheers Jonny 👍🏽
