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.

this is very good sir, sorry but can I have the backing track so I can practice these lessons?
Thanks Jens, this really helped
Simple and great
Please Please more easier stuff like this. Thank you.
YOU talk too fast , too much information for one shot
i thougt.. i liked jazz with the feel of it..
after looking things like i found with blues licks and stuff.. changed my mind..dont like it anymore to playmyself..
jazz is very difficult.. i thought it was slow and easy????
I'm a jazz sax player and this video really helped
Thanks
Sir can we get the backing track
“Ahggghh! There’s a ske….skel….skeleton, on your shoulder!!!”
Which scale is needed to solo on the jaaz?
This is one of the best, clear, and inspiring explanations I've ever seen about improvisation fundamentals.
Huge thanks!
Great tips, I can play the arpeggios and add chromatic notes but was getting bored with everything sounding like a separate phase on an individual chord. Focusing on the third makes a lot of sense. Gonna try it! Thanks Jens!
THANK YOU for analyzing A7 as [V] and not VI7 like many others would
1:03
Teşekkürler.
Seems simple but there is a lot going on. I learned more in this lesson than any others. But i have not taken that many. Thanks!
I was about to say that was a Barry Harris guest appearance and then the caption “this is not Barry Harris” came up and I was like dang it !
ouch so it's not just hit all 12 semitones huh? great video
I know everybody says it, but you are very generous with your free YouTube lessons. Additionally, if I didn't like your playing I wouldn't pay attention or learn from you. I appreciate your work very much.
This is fantastic, yet again. Love the humorous bits you add in your videos!
