    My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
    The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

    I am currently working on learning jazz on my guitar. I have been strugling to find content to guide me to learn jazz. This channel has been the best one to learn so far. At least to know where should I look for content and how to target it: creating exercices as a study guide and all that stuff. Thank you man

    Failing to compose 251 lines was the number one limiting factor that stopped my progress as an aspiring jazz guitar player for 10 years. I took lessons for years and had multiple teachers teach me a lot of great stuff, but I sucked but they couldn't figure out why I sucked. That was the missing link to make my biggest breakthrough in jazz since college.

    I've composed and recorded my own licks and riffs that should have worked but sounded static. Why ? Because I started them on the 1. I didn't know what a difference starting them on the 4& or 1& would make. I treated down and up beats equally. I know a little bit more about Forward Motion now. Rhythm makes a definite difference.🤩

      @cechichan Před 9 měsíci

      The thing that sometimes bothers me, lets say I have a
      1st chord: D major
      2nd Chord: F minor
      I know what notes and why and many options to go on each chord, but what do i think to "glue them" ? Yes imagine a musical line and thats the soul anwer but id love to "math " it.
      Is it simply aiming for a certain note over the 2nd chord then just go by ear and note choice , or Is there more ways to think about how to link the available notes of the 1st chord with the availalbe notes of the 2nd?@@JensLarsen

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  Před 9 měsíci +1

      @@cechichan Yes playing towards a target note will work.
      You could voice-lead the two chords, but you could also learn to analyze them in the key they are in and in that way understand what notes make the clearest target notes and what the flow of the progression is about.
