Jens Larsen Mike Stern recommended the Joe Pass books for great accessible licks, but also recommended transcribing entire solos from not only guitarists, but any instrument that could also inspire you to play anything interesting that could be adapted on the guitar.

Jens you are by far the best YT guitar teacher. You've improved my playing and I've played for over 30 years. Awesome content. I wish I had learned the stuff you teach years ago.
Such a powerful lesson for me! Key words here: flexible, intuitive...yes, that's what I want. I've definitely been guilty of obsessing over making the ultimate line and losing the real goal, but your guidance helped me get back on track.
Wow Jens, thaank you so much! I‘m studying jazz first year and my teacher is a real cat, but a lot of times its just a lot, so i keep and keep returning to you to get great strategy and connect different aspects and parameters to improve my playing. Thanks!
Jens, between your channel and TILF Barry Harris I have really been able to get rid of the superfluous stuff that was hindering my development. Thanks for all your hard work!
omg today i tried the famous c-bb-f#-e then same a minor third below and so on, a-g-eb-db-f#-e-c-bb etc, seen on Joel Frahm masterclass on saxologic channel; crazy stuff, the goal being to do fast and without repeting the same pattern third below but play it on new strings
Solo's are one thing, what I love the moste are the chords, the progressions and the little fiddly bits in between....same with funk.....the motor is that part for me. Don't understand jack-shit about it, but my ear seems to know....🤪
The question is, how exactly do we need to do to make licks or arpeggios or whatever materials sound like music , you did not show exactly how to do that, cover more details to it please
You want to work on writing licks and get those to sound good, something I demonstrate in this video: czcams.com/video/MBHoDhuklpM/video.html Besides that you also want to work on getting a better connection between your ear and your hands, and a great way to do that is to learn some solos per ear. These are a great place to start if you are new to that process: czcams.com/video/K7OO-s31pOU/video.html
I was transcribing "No Blues" and to me it sounds like a sped up Charlie Christian solo. I was surprised when I slowed it down how much it sounded like Charlie Christian but at regular speed it didn't sound like Charlie at all.
nice lesson Your form is really eveolved.like great could you.aldo make a series of lessons for more advancened level for instance 34 skidoo or two lonely Bill Evans.ot Humpty Dumpty or 26~2...
At first using the arpeggio for the same chord sounds good but then it starts to sound more on the boring side. Using other arpeggios that are not the same as the chord start to sound more interesting. Same as using the diatonic scale ( without dissonant notes) at first sounds good then increasingly start to sound boring until more dissonant notes are included. I know it’s a matter of taste but is this the experience of a lot of players?
I can't know for sure, but it sounds to me like you need to work on making stronger melodies with simpler notes instead of trying to make the note choice interesting. Most great solos don't use complicated note choices, just listen to melodies from composers like Mozart or the Beatles. There is another dimension beyond note choice.
@@JensLarsen Hmmm that’s an interesting answer Jens , I will take your advice on board . I bought both of your books and I’m looking forward to going through them. Thanks for the reply.

“...strong melodies, not thought experiments.” Brilliant. Great lesson, Jens!
Thanks Nick!
Ask your self are u really benefited from this video?

Thank you, Jason
Thank you Jens to put the part and the music sheet up in the sceen. It's more readable than downthe screen; and thanks for your big work.
Use full screen when you watch it, that usually fixes the problem :)
Such a powerful lesson for me! Key words here: flexible, intuitive...yes, that's what I want. I've definitely been guilty of obsessing over making the ultimate line and losing the real goal, but your guidance helped me get back on track.
It's a process, and you are already moving in the right direction 🙂
Wow really extraordinary lesson, it’s a tool that we should use from the beginning of our learning. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
“Lines that sound like music, not thought experiments.” So well put.

Thank you! Good luck with the study, it is probably hard work but it is also a lot of fun 👍
My great teacher !
Thanks :)
Same lol
Master Larsen 🙌

Great to hear! Go for it!
Thank you, Master. 🌞
Glad it was useful 🙂
Jazz soloing and its possibilities are endless, and so awesome indeed!
Thanks RC!
@@JensLarsen My pleasure!
Did he say "Thought Experiments "? Noted! Thanks Jens, always so much!
Wonderful lesson. Thank you Jens.
My pleasure! :)
Another great instructional

(I am curious about your guitar collection on the wall. What is the last one one the far right?)
Thanks! That is an ES175 :)
I’ve created a few lines and melodies from thought experiments also heh heh

Great Video! I was wondering when you transcribe, do you write it down on paper or use a specific computer program?
Most of the time I don't write it down at all, just play it.

Thanks for the reply.
Reminds me of "The Duke"
I'm currently practicing melodic embellishments. Does it take long for themto feel natural and for me to use them without thinking too much?
That's difficult to say from a CZcams comment. It depends on what you are doing, how, and how you apply it.
@@JensLarsen thank you very much, Jens
I know that Grant Green lick from Cool Blues! I'm sure it's all over the place.
Yes, he does it all the time, but I think he playes it 10-12 times in the I'll Remember April solo :)
That's a nice shirt tho

Inlike that you keep the examples like these slightlt sonthat everybod can donthe math them selves...
The first tip is going to make every 9 year old jazz band kid play the licc for every solo
