Hi Jonny! Nice lesson!
As a Brazilian I'm proud seeing the Bossa Nova still is a style that's worth studying.
I have a hint that will help your next lessons. Bossa Nova, as you already said, is all about rhythm. Bossa Nova was a junction between jazz and samba (also a Brazilian rhythm full of percussion instruments). When you play samba, there is a percussive instrument in particular that is very important, which the name is "surdo". The drums kick can simulate the sound of the surdo when hit this double notes you hear. This double kick is maybe de major responsible for Bossa Nova swing.
When there is a bass with the gig, it usually plays the root and the 5th notes of the chords, simulating the sound of the surdo, and also the drum's kick. You also can try using this technique playing the piano. You can play the chords and the melody on the right hand and the bass line on the left hand. It might give more swing to the song.
I hope I could help.
Oh gosh, thank you for that cool comment.
Agree
Isn't what he did using chord shells and extensions? Second half...
Thanks Jonny, great lesson ! More bossa please.
Thanks John. This transposes nicely for guitar. The piano is perfect for transposing. Great job. Keeping it simple is genius. Thanks
Thank-you! I have the songbook and a piano, yet I have never gotten around to learning to play this music. You are a good motivator and teacher.😁
I just discovered this style as a piano player and I am so pumped to learn it. It sounds great!
please upload it because I need more music like this out there!
Nice. Your classes are really good. I'm looking forward to start soon 👍🏻
This is great. Picking it up slowly 😁
Great song,classic.
Always thank you!
Bravo!
Congrats maestro
I love it I love it I love ittttt!!!!! I enjoyed it man!!! Love your playing!!!!!!!!!! Keep up!!! 🔥

Thanks Jonny. Really nice. I learn alot.
Good on you man , thank you so much, from Ireland
Beautiful!!! That's a really great lesson and beautifully explained, as a bossanova lover I really enjoyed it, thanks so much, maestro..!!!
jonny i’ve progressed more in 1 week watching your style breakdowns than i have in the last 7 years. bless yeeee
Merci beaucoup
Amazing tutorial!!
To professional sound by simple steps. Inspiring lesson.
Love this❤
From Brazil to the world! I love this rhythm.
I like this rhythm, which is a mix of samba and jazz, but I wouldn't change it for samba de roda.
Keep up the good work 👌
❤❤❤❤wow amazing
Nice teaching bossa nove...tq sir
Thank you so much you sound great and your a genius to Share your pedagogy step by step !! Im a singer and workinprogress to play piano when im singing
Very,Very Good Jonny may
Ótima aula
this is genuinely so helpful i was so confused why videos would say a minor chord when they notes were so spaced apart not like a normal triad
Nice!
nice work
Hey dude, nice channel!
Beautiful video
Vejo mas não acredito
*sensacional*
gracias mil. desafortunadamente es el único video en la playlist de latin piano, es una pena que no haya más clases de latin jazz
Спасибо
Where can I download your bgm playing in the beginning of the video? So beautiful.
God damnit Jonny...you...you're good, you.
Of course, you can also add a backing track my Band In A Box. I really would like to see what you could come up with using tracks from them without any of the piano parts, and instead using parts you play yourself.
I can't read bass clef, so i use Arranger Keyboards and BIAB, and I've come up with some pretty good stuff. I think your students would be happier with the end result, albeit a bit limited because BIAB expects you to play the song the way you've entered it.
What is the songbook you are using?
Congrats for The vídeo!!! Have You heard about the double function left hand played By some Brazilian pianists?
1:12 his left hand is playing FACE
Recognizing this was the starting point for me to learn the notes of the chords. Turned out very helpfull. xD
Hi jonny.plise one tutorial wonderfool word Armstrong of stride🙏🙏😅
I’m going to try to play a lot of 7th chords without 5ths now
Great idea !! Will do the same !!!
I like your choicer to omit the 5ths. I like to use a flatted 5th, Gb-Bb- C-E before resolving to F major 7. This chord is a dominant seven flat five chord.
Where can I get the backing track?
Fun
Great tutorial, I'm struggling to get the rythym correct when I put the melody along with the bass line, any tips to help get the rythym??
Place the melody + the 1st and 3rd time together, and when it's good add the eighth notes. :)
Normally I listen to the drum kick or the bass line .
Just take your time . Practice slowly then at the normal time of the music .
@@allegretto1862 and what tips you suggest for beginners to get independence of both hands .., when you have played guitar is exactly the opposite what is required in fact !! But is exactly also for this independence feature that am motivated to learn further piano .... I am telling since so many different human beings have succeeded I should be able to succeed as well .... ( be patient is also a good quality as musician ).
JONNY, I'm damn sure if you were my neighbor I would have become a piano genio nowadays!!!
👍👍👍🙏

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Weird. I got an ad from Piano with Jonny before the vid by Piano with Jonny
Joao Gilberto wrote Girl from Ipanema
Jobim is the composer
Joao recorded this, along with Gil Gilberto, Stan Getz, and Astrud Gilberto singing. Enjoy! :)
At 9:49, the fill, is it Gb dominant 7 instead of G dominant 7?
The dots disagree with the dialogue?
Great! One thing, don't get this rootless G-flat7 (9.51); there is no E-flat or A-flat in G-flat7? Perhaps this is more a pentatonic over g-flat bass with passing notes (e natural from the g-flat 7 chord) and C (chromatic passing note).
It's a G-flat 13 (Rh plays 13th (same as 6th degree of G-flat scale), 3rd, 9th (same as 2nd degree of G-flat scale) and 7th (the e natural). This is a common voicing for 13th chords serving a dominant or secondary dominant function. For example, a C13 voiced like this would RH a,e,d, b-flat (in descending order). Chopin used this chord a lot near big cadences and resolutions (in major keys).
@@andrewsmith4356 Thanks for your reply. Seen a lot of V-11 (maj) s' in Chopin (eg Ab triad over a b-flat bass - which would be a V11(maj) of E-Flat); any 13th examples you particularly like in Chopin?
@@simonsmatthew I don't have any off the top of my head that I prefer, but one that stands out sonically is in the 1st Ballade, after frenzied development section, where the E-flat major theme returns in a big way. The B-flat 13 chord is pretty unmistakable there. As to your reference of something like a V-11 in Chopin, I am less aware of those, and it seems like the chord over the bass note could just be a passing chord over a pedal bass note; but now I'll keep my eye out for places like that. Cheers.
@@andrewsmith4356 Thanks! I know the piece, but I don't play it. I will look out for it. I agree V11 (maj)'s in Chopin arise from contrapuntal voice leading motion, ie things like accented passing notes. They are everywhere in Chopin, but I like its use in the the late B major nocturne (62/1). The bass in the middle section also seems to be close to bossa nova.
Getting the rhythm is very hard for me personally lol. I have trouble putting both hands together. Practice makes perfect Ig 😤🙏
I got so used to doing the same thing with both hands, now I have to figure out how to get them working independently, yikes. Good luck!
I'd like to listen you play the entire music without interruption.
Melhor pegar um brasileiro tocando bossa, eu entrei por curiosidade aqui e de bossa esse doido não entende nada. Ele toca qualquer coisa menos bossa !
Is there a downside to skipping step 3
So left hand is I, vii, iii, V, I, vii, iii?
Great lesson! But what about the second part of the song?
What about it? The same technique is used there. Take his 7th, ninth, third and fifth parts of the chord and move them around some in the order you're playing them to 'spice up' the 'B' part of the song. The basics are still the basics.
Gary C The chords on the second part of the song seem more complex as they have more alterations.
@@jhn1987 So, the technique is the same. Do you know the basic concept of chord structure? A Major chord is the Root, Third and Fifth, i.e., for a C Chord, C-E-G. A C7 chord is C-E-G-Bb, while a CMaj7 is C-E-G-B. The Chorus gives you a couple of more chords, the B9 chord, the Am7 chord, the Abm7, but you work those chords the same way you would work the first set. The B9th is B-D#-F#-A-C#. So, play B-D#-F#-A. The Am7 chord is A-C-E-G. Substitute the same technique. Finally, the Abm7 is Ab-B-Eb-F#. Playing them as 1-3-5-7 the same was as Jonny showed for the other chords will get you the basics.
However, the Chorus is sometimes a little more upbeat, so you can alter those chord patterns to give you a more rhythmic style, but for now, just play it the way Jonny showed you.
You can also visit his website for more information, although since I haven't been there, I can't tell you what all he has on it.
@@GaryMCurran No, its more complex, i played that song 1000 times both on guitar and piano, there are several change of keys, second part is in fact fantastic
@@jhn1987 Agree
Apesar do vídeo ser um ano amei essa aula
where is the rest of the song?
i guess you have to join up to get it
The original key of the song is D#m

You can use the gear icon in the lower right side of the video to slow it down!
idk what style you're playing but that's not bossa nova dude
