My name is Jens Larsen, a Danish Jazz Guitarist and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of them teach you how to play jazz guitar, but other videos focus on Music Theory, like Jazz Chords, or offer advice on practicing and learning Jazz on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, music theory, song analysis, and videos on jazz guitars.

What is the best thing to begin with for Jazz?

My jazz guitar teacher got me practicing Bach violin pieces as well as teaching me jazz. It was mainly to teach me to read, but I love Bach and the similarities with the motion of jazz makes it very satisfying.
hi can anyone help me, how to practice the diatonic triad i can play the exercise but dont know how to use it and it seems that i dont know what the note really is when i play the exercise
Fairly certain the first jazz guitar players didnt think of ANY if this stuff.
I’ll know I’m no longer a beginner when the solo counter examples stop sounding better than what I can play.
Thank you! This is a way to start for me with jazz that seams realistic and possible
нихуя не понятно
I come from a metal background and consider myself pretty descent but these intervals hurts my brain????
Great tutorial, I am so happy I found your chanel! Thanks! (for the headache)????
Hi Jens,
What book is that with all the chord voicings at 4:50?
Thanks!
Jack
Super useful information!!! Thank you!!
Jens, love your videos but I think it is time to fully commit to the four 8-note scales of Barry Harris (the 6th diminished scales). The 3 scale concept needs to be put to rest in my opinion. Why? Because the 6th diminished incorporate all variety of other common used jazz scales, moving much closer to full twelve tone freedom and beyond. Add in the Diminished scale and Whole-Tone and students will have all they need to interpret what the greats play and use it in their own playing. Of course this sounds much simpler than it is, and there are many other compositional concepts, but to me this is the easiest way to understand jazz.
again, another excellent Jens Lesson❤
i probably should go to a jazz school
My teacher always told me that satin doll is the key to the Kingdom
As a beginner, I agree. Everything Jens says is spot on, but now I need an interpreter!
Good stuff! Helpful stuff!
On a side note, what year is your Sheraton?
I’m a 17 year old rock guitarist who has never touched jazz and I got a jazz gig in less than a month. Wish me luck.
i’ve been playing for 30 years and I still find it really hard to jump into jazz playing. I think it goes to show that quantity is not quality. I learned guitar in the era of grunge and alternative rock, when it was deliberately kind of sloppy and lazy. As such, some bad habits were ingrained from a young age that I still fall into sometimes
Thanks for sharing all the material and your tips on practicing and learning the guitar. I like this video and I even though you said the chords book you showed a picture for at 4:51min I am interested in knowing which book it is specifically please. Because it looks like somehow advanced and some of these chords are very useful in chord melody. Nelson Faria is an example of a guitar player that uses this type of chords. thanks in advance!
Great video @JensLarsen.
I love how its meant to be for beginners but I just cannot understand what on earth he's talking about ????
Thanks for your valuable information
To be honest, as a guitarist, I can tell from the very first notes you play whether or not you've listened to bebop. And I'm sorry to say that depending on your musical experience, you'll play what’s in your head, which is essentially the melodic lines you've enjoyed… or not. A musician who only listens to rock and pentatonic scales will NEVER be able to improvise bebop because their mental structure always reverts to that of a simplified blues. No matter how many theoretical or harmonic tips they follow, their ear and musical experience will be almost insurmountable barriers in this case. When Lee Morgan asked his fellow musicians to play "beautiful" notes or blue notes, that's what he meant. Personally, I listen to Billy Bean and Bill Evans all day, and it's clear that the pleasure I get from listening is the main driving force behind my playing, much more than theoretical advice…
Ok here I go! I’m gonna commit to learning jazz. Starting with this video! 🙂
Very complete!! Thank you!!
0:48 wait… there are other scales????
Thank You
Thank You ????????????
any chance you have a video on these shell voicings? specifically lost on how you determine which ones are major, minor, or other
Very helpful ! A pleasure to watch and listen to, and to work with ! ????
Yes finding the right or wrong teacher can be the beginning or the end, this guy is the right teacher.
Your lessons are always clear and understandable thank you.
I would buy Jens’s jazz course. It has this and a lot of other stuff. It’s great.
You are a god.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Soooo glad I just found your channel 🙂
Perfect combination of clear teaching with appropriate visuals – amazing.
