Thank you,Jonny⭐🌹⭐

Thanks Jonny. I admire the players who have developed these concepts and I greatly appreciate you explaining and demonstrating them. You are not only a master pianist, but also a master teacher. This was a great lesson...in 15 minutes. Remarkable.

Thank you so much!

This is an epic class! I had never seen anyone explain gospel so well. I'll be playing around with this for some time.

This is so brilliantly simple and makes any melody you can come up with mega jazzy!

This is awesome and brilliant, was looking for such thing like these for years, and you made it so simple to understand, many thanks.

😅 KZread comments section's just priceless.

oh wow, superamazing, what a GREAT class, thank you!!

Can you take a simple song like Mary Had A Little Lamb or some other nursery rhymes & show us how you would play that in jazz style. The key of C would surely help all us beginners. I’ve subscribed to your channel & try to follow your jazz style. Even though your tutorials are easy to follow I still would like to see you take some easy songs & convert to jazz. After all that your tutorials are still one of the best on KZread. 😊😊😊😊😊

How are you

Powerful technique. Amazing that this happens with simple triads. Very cool. Thanks maestro Jonny!!

Nice one Jonny. Could you demonstrate this concept with the hymn song: Amazing Grace?

Wow, it isn't that hard to understand, I can't wait to go home and practice, thank you jonny

Wow wow wow. Just the stuff I want to know. And you delivered it very clearly. Love it! ❤❤❤

Gorgeous tutorial, please keep this channel up.

Superb! Thanks Jonny 👊🏼

Thank you for this amazing lesson, Jonny! It sounds very beautiful. I can’t wait to practice it❤️

Thank you Jonny for this marvelous lesson. Ya tengo homeworks para toda la semana. 👌🏻

Oh man love this! Cool chords is my favorite part of Jazz. But this is going to distract me from the Piano With Jonny lessons I said I would stick to! ;-)

I'm going to quit my job and spend 40 hours a week learning this!

Hello my friend! Excellent content! Congratulations and happy weekend to you!🌷❤️🌷 15:39

Sooooweeet Beautiful Thank you!!

Great videos on this channel

Thank you, Jonny, for sharing this fantastic class! 🎉 I absolutely love learning Gospel Piano 🎹 techniques. 🙌🏽👌🏽

I enjoyed the lesson and was also tormented by the prospect of recalling what was explained. "Gospel" does that to me. Now, I want to play chiptune music with no more than two or three notes at a time.

The first chord relation of C and Ab is that they are chromatic mediants. F is the relative minor of Ab. I'm becoming a theory geek, but I have to get my keyboard skills up to that level. Practice, practice, practice.

Such a great lesson Jonny, thank you!. This is also a good way to change keys right?

Yes!

This is very cool! It's like composing based on the lead melody note and then harmonizing it however you want. I noticed every chord you used was major... is there a reason why no minor chords were used? I wonder how it would work with minor chords... minor 11s usually sound very pretty in these floaty key-change type contexts. Thank you for the video 🙏

Thank you! This would be a great topic for our Q & A on PWJ! pianowithjonny.com/shows/

beutiful!

Great chord voicings and Landing technique! Is It possibile to use also minor chords as Island chord?

Is the same technique used for minor chords?

This was great! I bookmarked it for future reference. This could be the key to making my songs more accessible to modern audiences...maybe. Regardless, I'm happy to learn more and think "outside the box," as it were. Thanks! Can I presume this works just as well where minor root chords are concerned?

@@PianoWithJonnyThanks again!

Thank you very much jonny,,❤❤❤can we use in minor😊?

Agreed w @draster541. It's all well and good to learn new chord voicings but the application is just as important. @jonny are these "island" terms part of music theory or ur own creations?

On peut également chiffrer les accords « add2/» en « m7#5 » non ? Exemple : C(add2)/E c’est aussi un Em7#5

I only go to McDonalds for the coffee and a muffin for under $5. We go to a local barbecue restaurant and lunch is $15 for a meal.

I have a question: those "floating" chord progressions sound very much like the kind of thing that gospel keyboardists play when they're filling in gaps during a church service... you know, when they're just improving something entirely random, but it sounds good. Is that what this is really intended for, or can these principles be used to figure out more "interesting" chord progressions for well-known songs? I mean, after I saw this video I took a few minutes to try the principle out on "Amazing Grace" (which is a nice simple tune to begin with), and the result was absolutely horrendous. I'm not sure if that's just because I know what Amazing Grace ought to sound like so my brain was biased, or if these kind of floating chords are only intended for random background silence-filling. How do you use these kind of progressions in real life? Just for fun, or do you apply them to actual songs? Thanks!!

Bad teaching.Rocket speed.. U can teaching nasa scientists better.
