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.

  • These two eye-opening progressions helped me finally understand the "just" of the ii, V, I magic that old-time jazz meisters rave about. Here, you start with a ii7(9,11) leaving out the root and 5th moving to a V7 with an augmented 5th and finally to I6/9, leaving out the root note. (Knowing what notes to omit are what jazz guitar players have to deal with). The ii7(9,11) is a most interesting Charles Ives-ian piled up 5ths chord, which creates open space waiting to get filled (kind of like the 2001 space odesy film theme music opening). Such chords were my favorite when I was in high school, but I could never work them into a musically appealing progression. Here, the ii chord's spaciousness gets filled with a V7 chord getting its extra ump to resolve by an augmented 5th note and finally resolved to a colorful I chord. Hopefully, jazz progressions will make much more logical sence to me from here on out. Thankyou much.

  • I play Classical and folk But I love to listen to. You play jazz. The chords and arpeggios sound good on acoustic also,,

  • Rather hypnotizing when let to repeat a few dozen times. Almost like a song in itself. Play along and throw some double-stops in while he's talking…

  • Subscriber here! These chords are so beautiful, especially with that shimmering Johnny-Smith type reverb. I could see these in ballads, glossy and sweetly evocative. All but one are Chuck Wayne type four notes, (My thing!) but in voicings I don't commonly use. It's time to study them; the splits between the strings are most convincing, sir, adding that trebley, "Air". Thank you once again for concise information and lovely demonstrations!

  • Sounds like a desirable forgotten memory I'm tryna remember, and if I did, I will fantasize over it until I cry cuz I know it's not real.

    ~A faint sight of a dreamy place, a hopeful one, a faint scenery with someone I cherish.~

    lucid dream

    "I have no idea what's happening is this real or?"

    "…"

    "It's pretty here…"

    "I don't wanna go out…"

    "…"

    "What if I do this? Wait how is this possible-"

    wakes up

    "Oh… it was all a dream… •-•"

    After snapping back to reality, I am filled with sadness. Somehow all of a sudden I felt contentment in my life.

    "4:28 am"

    "One hour more I guess… Should I sleep or… I really wanna go back…"

    "…I hope I can go back…"

    "…"

    alarm rings

    "5:00 am"

    alarm rings

    "6:30 am"

    wakes up

    "9:56 am"

    "O h s h o o t I'm late… must've been really tired last night huh?"

    "…"

    "…"

    "It's raining! sighs I wanna sleep… b- but work though…"

    sips coffee

    "I dreamt something of last night."

    "I can't remember…"

    "Oh well… I hope it's a good one"

    Hit me in the feels. Thank you sir Larsen
