    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.

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.

    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 :)
