And I also see that you use a LH fingering (e.g. at 9:51) that I (as an amateur) would not have chosen. I would use (2,1), (5,1), (3,2) and (3,1) and so on... My automatic fingering tend to choose the fingering that you show in the video (at 9:50 using (2,1), (5,1), (2,1) and (2,1)), but it seems anatomically better choose the fingering I suggest above. In your choice, in a subsequent run you have to move (2,1) from (C,E) to (D,F) (both fingers), whereas in my suggestion you only have to move 1 from E to F having 2 free to place it on D. I suppose I have erroneous assessments, but could you elaborate a bit on that? Generally, in your lessons, I think you should focus somewhat more on fingering issues. I have the conviction that having the fingering as good as ergonomically possible from the start will prevent later muscle trouble.
I like the general idea of this exercise and I’ve done stuff quite similar to it but I really don’t like where the 4ths wind up rhythmically on the Imaj7. I like to do this kind of stuff but using the bebop major and Dorian scales. In that context, you wind up with the chord tones in all the important places rhythmically.
2:25 it reminded me of that face fabd guy
Lol!
This is a great resource sir and thanks for sharing this. But I need help with the fingerings for this exercises. Thanks
I love you Johnny
Hello Johny
I am a member of Piano witn Johny, it is amazing what I am learning. I wanted to comment that I have been having some problems with the fingering on this exercise. I see that you start each time with a different finger, I haven't learned this yet. Do you have any exercises for this? it would be great to have this agulity to be able to go up and up the scales more automatically.
Greetings!
Dude I have an adult student who wants to learn jazz and you saved my life.
Hi Jonny, thank you for your educational effort! Can you please make a video or share with us recommended warm up exercises before we start hitting those notes on the piano? Thank you
I love your courses, they pinpoint exactly what I need at this stage. Thanks so much! But: I miss fingering annotations very, very much. E.g. in this excercise it took me a quarter of an hour (at 6:51) to find out that 3 on the B flat in the second bar and 2 on the F (the last note) beautifully gave me the thumb (1) on the G in the 3. bar. And so on, which opened up the eternity of the excercise upwards. I would have saved much time if you had given me that cue in the first place. (This also goes for the left hand, of course.) I am considering paying for your courses, as i like them very much. Will the paid lessons give the fingering annotations?
Looks like Jonny "secretly" visited the Phrygian , Lydian and Locrian modes in this improvisation. Great lesson!
❤️
matur suksma
first sentence is too relatable
Great tutorial as ever! As a "classical intermediate/confused jazz beginner" could you explain how/why you chose the G dominant diminished scale?
On a G dominant chord, there are 4 notes: G, B, D, and F. However, you can add more notes that give it more evolved and interesting qualities. These extra notes are called extensions, and as it turns out, the diminished scale has many extensions that happen to sound good on dominant chords.
The dominant diminished scale usually works on dominant seventh chords, aka the fifth of a major scale or the seventh of a minor scale.
Using the altered scale would even give you the #5 but this scale sounds interesting, too.
But why did he choose it for G and not for say C or D? @@EvanWiederandersJazz
@@CrowCloudsG diminished is used for G7, C diminished is used for C7, etc.
How do you know which kind of scale to use for different chord progressions?
What I can practice I just know notes little bit keys and what portable piano inget
Problem here is that no one on youtube makes videos like this for MINOR II-V-I.... And perhaps thats the gatekeep in effect.
true
I'm struggling to get a nice sound out of the diminished dominant scale, its just sounding a bit janky, any suggestions you have that might fix this?
Hi Jonny. I am very interested in your courses but I do not understand English, is it possible to follow your classes with audio in Spanish?
What kind and brand of piano is that?

Hi, do you have perfect pitch?
6:30
hi Mellot i am ,i've a trouble with improvisation so Can i have some advice
Hi Jonnie, I'm a subscriber to your website, but also a beginner. I have a question about G dominant demished scale. Why a full step from B is C sharp and not just C? And for the same token, why is it half step from E to F? Perhaps a silly question, but I don't get it...
Im also a beginner and i know it's a year late, but think of steps as litteral keys. So a half step would be one key and a whole step would be 2 keys.
Jonny's choppy is my finest! lol

Play 11:23
Whenever I am improvisng I just dont know where my fingers should go and when to jump how far? Can anyone please help me.
It's like you are breaking out of a diminished scale into the normal dominant scale.
Can someone explain to me why he goes tediously through scales just up and down and at the end he makes very different unrelated improvisation. What has happened here ?
Basically he picked notes on the scale and used the exercise to find ways to connect the melodies together to give the improv more direction
Amazing 👏👏👏, you look like Lord Voldemort (
Ralph Fiennes ) 😂😂😂😂
How many Guitarist are secretly watch these vids??
Sad fact: I'm an ordinary teenager, I shoot good music content, or rather I play the piano. but no one is watching me, God bless those who have read this.)
I've been playing for one year. I have no idea what this guy is talking about.
I love Blues, but I just cannot see the appeal of Jazz.
Something must have drawn you here.
Meh
Great lesson!
