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.

Very good point these jazz legends didn't have youtube or jens larsen to teach them
Ha! "it's good, even if you don't want to learn bebop… but, of course, you do want to learn bebop." LOL Yes I do.
Did you have an Albert Heijn sandwich before you made this video?
Sad bread????????Haha, i love how " we" think in analogies
I’m not understanding why it’s better to think of the b, d, f, a riff as a b pivot arp. My brain was thinking b, d, f as 3, 5, 7 and then a as more of a leading note going down to the 5 of the next chord; also, the a reflects the Dorian scale for the ii chord. It seems weird to me to think of using a pivot arp based on the IV over the ii. You’re a Jazz guitar god so I know you’re right, but I don’t understand why. ????. Not doubting you at all; I’m just hoping to improve my Jazz thinking/understanding.
Thank you Mr. Jens for the brilliant and enlightening videos about the secrets of jazz guitar. I have a doubt: When using enclosures, are the chord notes and target notes always played on the downbeat?
Sure jens larsen….evade those fools until their kaput…….f them…..their gonna get caught…..so anyhow fingering on a fretboard sort of like the stale mate chessboard mr jens…..i dont know …..cant miss a note ….
lol brood haha
Come to Portugal and I will teach you to make a great bread
Hello from france ! ????
I already knew how great you are as a player.Your video editing is now conveying your humour and personality too.
Truly great all-rounder.Thank you
That Barry Harris reference tho ???????? 2:30
Not so many jazz teachers in the Danish mountains????? I see what u did there ????
"If the melody moves up, try to make the enclosure move down… and the other way around of course." Simple, but profound. Thanks Jens!!!
do not imitate.enough said
You left out what I consider an essential aspect of your first two excerpts which is the voice leading moving down by steps. So many great bebop lines do this! Barry Harris’ 54321 exercise is a great way to practice this.
Study early jazz, it develops your ear. Modern jazz sucks, it’s a subset of ‘modern art,’ which is basically a code word for ‘shit.’ It’s an orchestrated assault on beauty and aesthetics. People instinctively hate it, it’s an exercise in meaninglessness. Go back before bebop, before jazz got all mechanical and showboaty. Even bebop sucks, it’s really annoying shit. Licks are, by definition, canned and lame. You need to learn how to create an emotionally connected, melodic thread, and don’t let anything break it.
i've thought that if i wanted to play jazz guitar i would imitate jazz pianists and do what they do
totally agree! I same reason why I stopped transcribing solos and instead tried to understand the context of what they did, or just parts that I really like and I think I can use. after memorizing a whole solo, it's hard to improvise because I keep hearing the lines that I memorized.
These videos are getting AMAZING!
A good trick I do to help learning how a song a should feel is I pick a key and play the 1 in a strumming pattern I like, and with my looper I record 2-4 bars of 1 chord. I'll usually play a bass line within the key going up and down the fretboard to find a little melody. Then I play chords on of the root chord and the melodic bassline. When I feel comfortable/arrogant enough to try lead I usually improves melody parts between incomplete chords (I think they're called the core notes or implied notes?). I usually stay within the root chord that's strumming in the background. I can't say I've gotten better at Jazz, but I definitely feel WAY more familiar with the feel of the song than I did before trying this out (it helps to learn bass lol)
What's wrong with Dutch bread?
how can bread be bad? im asking seriously
