What is your best advice for practicing scales for Jazz? More Jazz Guitar Practice Advice for Beginner Jazz Guitar: czcams.com/video/7mpVem0mrQE/video.html
Hi Jens. I am only a student but I wanna leave this here in case someone is stuck where I used to be. Trying to learn and use the scales didn't work for me in the past. Felt like a complete waste of time. But starting from the arpeggios did work amazingly well. (Thanks to your diatonic arpeggios routine video). Adding the 7ths and the 9ths starting from the triads (and actually learning them anywhere on the fretboard) was extremely easy and rewarding (as opposed to, trying to learn a bunch of scales in different positions.) Then YOU finally taught me that I had been just stacking thirds all the time. So now I can... Try and learn the scales again :) it's amazing how everything makes sense to my fingers now. Thank you!
Print yourself out some blank fretboard sheets. Then pick a scale position, see it in your mind and write it out on paper. Note the roots. You can also do two side by side scale positions, go down one and back up the other. Also mix it up by starting from the high E string and work backwards or starting from the roots, pickup notes, etc. - any combinations to really challenge yourself that you know the scales inside out. By writing the scales out on paper instead of playing them, you can't rely on muscle memory for help.
Hey I had a doubt. What's your take on learning the notes as opposed to the scale degrees. As in, thinking of everything as relative to the root as opposed to the notes themselves as someone like a piano player would do. I've heard some people say that you have to learn in terms of notes and not rely on shapes on the guitar because that's not real music that's just a shortcut. Some other people say that learning the notes relative to the root by learning the shapes as in the CAGED is the best since you can transpose that to any key. What do you think? What are the pros and cons of each method?
After about a year of following Jens online, I have to say that I understand the "logic" of the guitar much better than I used to. My technique is still very much a work in progress (my 71 year old arthritic hands complain constantly) but I can honestly say that I have a much better understanding of guitar, jazz, and music in general than I did when I began.
Nice lesson. I noticed some time ago, that if I played a rootless maj7 triad that it became a minor triad, but I didn't understand what was going on - boom, I see it now. Thanks again.
I've been going crazy trying to decide how to make scale practice musically useful for a couple of weeks now, and boom! This comes up! Couldn't have been timed better! Good stuff, Jens, keep it up!
Me too! It’s been driving me crazy. I feel like so many of his videos have popped up right when I need help with that exact topic lol! Perfect timing, love his videos
Jens this lesson is very hard to beat... but since you asked.. something that really helped me in the past was Jimmy Bruno's C major scale up the neck (he was adamant it wasnt CAGED) but essentially 2 octave patterns .. GV7 mixo at 3... then the Amvi at 5.. B locrian and C major at 78.. dorian at 10.. and phrygian/lydian at 12/13... and what it gave me.. was the weave.. and how all the modes are embedded everywhere .. and one can use this knowledge as a shifting pattern perception.. or maybe also as the "more useful" .. 3rds or triads all in just 4 frets etc (as above). it really helped me learn the neck... and see how the same patterns shift and turn into each other...and "out and in" .. I actually think this video above it more practical.. as .. you show.. the usage.. another pattern Larry Calton showed he called the " super arpeggio".. 3 minors and 3 majors in 8 notes on 4 frets.. DFACEGBD.. I believe you got 52 triads once.. in 4 frets ?
Excellent video, Jens. Right to the point: what you need to learn, what to practice, how to use it. You could be more reiterative, but not clearer. Thanks!
Thinking about what you said gave me a personal epiphany: Have you ever learned how to drive only one route (without GPS), taken so often you can shut off your mind and drive without thinking? If you need to drive another route, you're clueless because you learned a sequence rather than navigation. This is what it is like for me having learned cello with classical training. But it's not a problem in classical: we only play the piece as written so it's fine to shut off our internal navigator and recite the music like the alphabet. In fact, it's preferable since it frees us to think about expression. But this training made it harder for me to compose or improvise; where it's best to keep thinking "from above" rather than automatically and mindlessly hopping from note to note. Now I'm learning to use my mind differently while I play. Thanks for the insights!
I'm an amateur musician who loves jazz, and it was really frustrating being only able to do pentatonic noodling, your lessons are eye-opening, Jens. Thank you for putting such high-quality stuff online, for free.
Nice lesson Jens. This method works! I do two other things - I limit the time i use for scale/arpeggio practice to 1/3rd of my total practice time - makes me focus better and stops me from getting bogged down in difficult new things for too long. I also play the arpeggios up and down the high 3 string set in one voicing.
This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing this advice with us. It’s very difficult to get to that level of knowledge and be able to synthesise it and make it accessible for us beginners.
I try not to think in terms of modes if I'm improvising over diatonic chord progressions. I just try to find the diatonic notes of the root key that surround the chord structure Im playing, and focus more on stuff like applying approach notes to the arpeggios , and trying to make it sound more melodic and less scaley.
Wow, just wow! I play guitar for fun since long time and never ever understand notes, scales and how to improvise, even more on jazz that i like so much. In one lesson, you made me understand the importance of arpeggio and their purpose in jazz. I remember listening to Pat Metheny seminario and was almost crying in despair listening to fabulous arpeggio but didn’t understand what the relation to scale! Thanks for presenting it so clear, so basic, a celeste light just light up in me! I will contribute to your Patreon!
@@aadityakiran_s We already talked about this 3 times, and that is not what you need if you are looking at how to learn scales. Please don't be annoying.
@@JensLarsen You have great memory. But then again it's a very important skill isn't it? Not related to learning scales but still in other ways important to musicianship. I'm really grateful that you remember all this and reply to all my messages. I don't really mean to be annoying but it's something that I think is very important but haven't understood how to do.
@@aadityakiran_s I am sorry, I can't help you. You are still just looking for the magical shortcut and ignoring what is right in front of you. It is sort of tragic, that you don't see that learning the scales are a part of hearing melodies with them. You ignore my answers to your questions, when I point out that I am repeating myself and even ignore that I tell you that it is annoying. Do you think it is making it more likely that I make the video, or do you think it is making it more likely that I block you for wasting my time?
Thanks, going to give this a try. Have just received in my last lesson all the caged positions for major7, min7, dom7 and half diminished b5 and was feeling pretty frustrated trying to internalise them all, some go better than others. I have been trying to relate them back to the chord shapes instead of scale. I feel like this will take me a long time to internalise them all! Thanks for all your content Jens!
Lol it is weird I never saw a video of you but youtube decided to send me here as one of the first. :D But yeah still learning jazz. Thx CZcams for remembering me to practice more. :D Edit: Nice tutorial. :)
What scale system did you use to create this video? I like it and it makes perfect sense for a beginner. I look forward to learning more of your exercises.
Perfect gaaaawd thanks man. I’ve got ninety scales and no way to use them. I’ve got six hundred chords and no scale to connect to it. So when ever I try jazz standards I just fall back to playing rhythm ( which isn’t bad but I want to be able to be free). I want to learn affirmation so bad but it has blues, II V I, bebop, mixolidian, Lydian d7... I’m just overwhelmed.
I'm so pleased I found your channel, Jens! Everything you talk about is interesting and enlightening! Is there some sort of roadmap or class or system / book you run or can recommend to go from mediocre, early intermediate guitar player to moving to playing jazz standards? This video, for example offers great advice on how to learn scales. Is there something that elaborates on this and offers a bit more practice guidance? I love listening to jazz and I've been struggling with learning the guitar, looking for a more general curriculum. But I think jazz is what I'm looking for. It fits with how I think and it will get me playing that music I enjoy that much sooner.
Thank you Robin! That is really great to hear! It is difficult to give too specific advice because everybody is different and at different levels, but maybe check out this post: jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-jazz-guitar-suggestions-to-begin-studying/ It will give you some thinks to consider when you plan your studying and practice, but if you want the deluxe version I offer then there is also a link to my online course
I'm not a jazz guy but sometimes I peak in on your stuff because it is brilliant and useful for other things. I must say it has been awhile since i've had my mind blown by a lesson but this one did it. I learned all my major scale positions and mastered doing them in thirds a couple years ago. The revelation that the arpeggios are just hidden under something I already knew is a game-changer. Thank you sir!
This is great stuff as always. I know you said the choice of scale system that you use doesn’t matter, but in the case of Berklee vs CAGED you would either be learning 7 or 5 places to play a given scale along the neck. How many places to play a scale is enough? Or put another way: after someone learns the C major scale position you played in this video, where is the NEXT place to learn the scale on the neck?
The tone sweet spots, the reachable bright and more mellow harmonic spots on each guitar can be different. I sometimes find I choose different voicings on different guitars too. Great lesson Lars. I have practiced most of what you shared with collecting knowledge eclecticly and seeing what fits best. I'm still very timid with soloing. Your tasteful soloing sounding so smooth and snazzy is inspiring me to have a go more often and I appreciate that very much. 🎶🎵
Start slow and speed up gradually with technical exercises and practice in an easy medium tempo for improvising, but make sure to play stuff that you can speed up
Jens, please slow down / pause. Not necessarily with your delivery but more so on the video production / edit. It's 100 mph ! with no breathing room. The content is fabulous just finding it hard to digest.
Hey Jens, (I understand this video is fairly old so I wont be offended if I don't get a response😅.) I was just curious about when you said "Learning the arpeggios as seperate positions, this way you're not connecting them to the scales or other things you're playing." Whats the reason behind this? I thought the whole idea was to try and interlink the scales and the arpeggios?
If you practice them as separate things and not in the scale then they are not really linked. If you practice your diatonic arpeggios then they are immediately linked
Jens, how would you practice playing what you hear? Is It about singin everything you practice? By hearing i mean how to execute things you hear In your head? Best Regards
at 1:43 is there an extra note in the caged system diagram...??? or am i missing something..?? cause if u was in the key of Gmaj you would have a min7th and a Maj7th...
@@JensLarsen now I understand what you mean : playing in thirds : 2 notes, triads : 3 notes, arpeggios : 4 notes (+ extensions). By starting with root-third in one position it's easy to also learn the triads and arpeggios within that position (stacking thirds)
At 7:00 over Dm7 you're playing F major triad and over Cmaj7 you're playing E minor triad, how did you choose those triads specifically for those chords? At first I thought that because Dm and F are relative keys but C and Em aren't relative keys

"They (scales/modes) are more similar than they are different" Jens is brilliant.
It is not the scales but the way you play them though, so scale positions 🙂
I couldn't find a Jazz teacher or afford one for that matter. This is my go to resource still. Thank you Jens.
Glad that the videos are useful and that you are putting it to use! :)

My advice for practicing scales is I always connect it to a tune or part of a tune. Much easier to remember that way and it feels immediately useful!
Thinking about what you said gave me a personal epiphany:

Great content ! Isn't playing the scale in thirds the same as playing the arpeggio's and triads ?
Not really, but it is a great way to practice towards those two. That's why I included it
