[ShaneSprague89]

[PsychotikPandora]

[goodylook]

do you have an instructional video

[frosty470]

duuuude.... teach me...

[eatmyshitpl0x]

OMG... I didn't know Steven Spielberg plays such funky piano.

[deathray393]

Freaking sexy

[theodorex58]

more heard like bluesy but i love it 

[oldwarcraftgamer]

dont want to sound like an angy mommy or something xDDD but i think this is way more blues than funk

but doesnt really matter, the point is, that this is really good stuff, made me feel great! =) thanks a lot for that

greets

[jimmythesnagglepuss]

Wow man I thought I was pretty good at the blues/funk until I saw this. How did you get so skilled? lessons or just hours on end of practice?

[funkyris]

yeah you feel the groove man

[jorgehibrido1]

bravo bravoooooo excelente Improvisación yeaaa

[MuscleheadsUnite]

fuck yea this is the shit man

[Chrysippossible]

Seriously, would the dumb-ass who voted 'against' this freakishly amazing improv be so kind as to report his/her currect location to me, so I can personally come and kick his/her blatantly frustrating ass?

@chilkari Your videos are perpetually amazing, man. You're a huge source of inspiration for many of us, of that I'm sure. (;

[GENERALWARMACHINE]

That'll be really really cool, if you could get the transcription for this!!!

[chilkari]

@captainwiggles777 Heh. Yes, it is actually me. ;) -- although all of my new videos are going up on my new channel: "groovewindow" - if you want the new stuff, that's where it'll be.

@e3133d3 - I'll see if I can't whip out a transcription for this when I get a free couple of hours, and post it to my site...

[captainwiggles777]

OH ITS YOU! your videos got me started on blues! your the man

[e3133d3]

can you please (please please) publish sheet music for this wonderful piece?

Thanks

[petrumusic]

Fantastic rhythm control, amazing riffs. Congratulations also for the pro quality of this recording, video and soung. Good piano tuning. Guy like you should live forever (@_@)

[llanfairpwllgwyn]

What's your recorder? Zoom H4 or H4n?

[chilkari]

@llanfairpwllgwyn It's the H4 - I've had it since before the H4N came out :)

[llanfairpwllgwyn]

@chilkari You just put in behind the piano, right? Asking of interest because I want to purchase an H4n and record upright piano with it.

The sound quality is terrific, by the way. Wouldn't expect it from a thing so cheap.

[chilkari]

@llanfairpwllgwyn Yep - just put it right behind center of piano, aimed at piano back. Levels must be set to low to accommodate the volume. Lots of ways to do it -- this way is a very 'direct' sound, but you tend to pick up the middle register more than the high/low ends. Just experiment with placement. The recorder does a great job, though -- especially for the price :)

[DoktorAgan17]

you rock!

[ElectricMovements]

Nice Piano.

[ElectroMusigh]

the word "slow" dosn´t exactly fit to the video ;)

[10sausage01]

love the dynamics, O for awesome!

[Thats350thanks]

God made love to your fingers, that's why you're so talented isn't it? How long have you been playing man?

[TheJuliaStiles]

I was wondering what style of piano I should learn and you have figured it out for me. Very good.

[lantyboy]

Hey hey loved this vid ;) wish i pulled my finger out with piano i started learning at 12 but gave up :(

[lunnyyy]

hugely inspiring for me, i'm just starting off, can't afford lessons ATM so i just try and sit down for a couple of hours a night and just go for it haha great video.

[penguinxxxx]

@lunnyyy

from my experience, piano lessons are usually only useful for reading music. If you wana play by feel, learn some chord progressions and practice scales, then make up your own stuff.

[lunnyyy]

@penguinxxxx Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that.

[lintish]

the beginning was outstanding.

[MusicGuru12]

This is so funky man! Love it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[pablobauns]

Great job man, but I beg you - just give me the notes :) Can I look forward to any sheet music of this ?:)

[bcefra]

sounds like, every body loves raymond

[Hwy611]

Im a self taut, play by ear pianst with a feel for rythym,

over the last year I have gone through all you blues lessons, you have opened a new world to me. unlike other cheesy piano lessons I can easly stay focused and interested. I am completely in love with the blues, I now play in a band and get a LOT of complments! All thanks to you jonnyboy. Keep it up. this bluesy groove is so fun to play.

[billsdude83]

That was beast

[oldwarcraftgamer]

totally nice feeling, realy good job but i´d say this is more bluesy than funky ;)

[TheBMW320cabrio]

again u?:D

it's a persecution!

just kidding...always welkomed!

[Treezycane24]

ummm excuse me but do u think u can make a tutorial for this it's nice

[chilkari]

Thanks :) The monthly improv is a good idea -- but there's lots more than that coming... trust me :) -- Hopefully a bunch of new stuff fairly soon.

[marvinracer88]

we hope so, after ur blues school i think lot of people including me are waiting! :D

[azoapes]

This sounds superb. What about putting up a monthly improv or a monthly lick or something? :-)

/Simeon

[Jonza121]

He is back \o/

[con3593]

Wow.....all I can say is wow...that was excellent

[kunstistmist]

It is really a pleasure. And inspiring as always. It is true: When listening to what you are doing, one immediately wants to learn it. Thank you very much! ^.^

[MrBilde]

Wohoo, good to have you back again :-)

[aclose]

Fantastic, as always!

[jazzpianobrian]

Awesome! When I watch your videos, it inspires me to run to the piano and just start playing. Thanks Jon....

[Aztec1011]

Great stuff, could you share the chords then we could get people sharing improv on the same chords. Awesome!

[Brianmystic2]
