@irawhitlock1084 6 дней назад

Have never understood letting gear stop you. I think one of the biggest issues is comparing yourself to others like you talked about. Of course you’ll get discouraged if you do that. Just focus on consistent work and only look to others for inspiration and guidance. In another video you said to think about progress in terms of years. I think that is some of the best advice. Then if you have periods of not practicing, you’ll be less likely to give up completely. Put the ego in a box and just humbly and slowly start the uphill climb of music mountain and be prepared to camp out at different spots along the way and even to slide down at times. It’s a journey vs a destination. The enjoyment, growth, and magic is in the work itself.

@adampecsek 5 дней назад

I'm 45 and less than a year into my jazz guitar journey, after decades of intermediate blues/rock noodling. Lots of good advice here. Without a doubt, the best decision I made when I first started was to prioritize frequency of practice over volume of practice. I practice at least 30 min every day, no matter what. If I wanna do more, I do it, but once I hit 30 minutes I've completed the task. I also make sure it's deliberate. Every session is focused on improving a weakness or learning a more complicated song by ear. If I want to just noodle around, I do, but I don't count that towards my "practice" time. Doing this every day, even though it's not that much time, has made a difference.

@mandylupton9522 5 дней назад

Really good advice, Jens! I'm 60 and now I'm learning jazz guitar I feel like a teenager again, as back then I used to come home from school and play and sing pop/rock songs for an hour or so before starting my homework and doing my classical flute practice. Learning to comp to accompany myself singing is a hugely rewarding experience and I'm learning so much! Re equipment, it was really helpful for me to buy an Ibanez GB10EM archtop, as my other guitars are a acoustic steel string dreadnought and nylon string classical, and I found them much harder to play up the neck. The Ibanez is so soft and easy to play (I had a luthier set it up correctly). I've been doing hand exercises to strengthen my fingers and wrists, and this makes a huge difference to my facility. Re only learning chords, yep, that's me as I don't have a band, I'm just playing solo. However, I do plan to get a loop pedal down the track and improvise on flute over my guitar backing. My big weakness is that I haven't learned the fretboard, as I'm just relying on shapes. I know that learning to improvise on guitar would help me understand the fretboard, so I guess I need to bite the bullet!

I am a bassist and a guitar player. I bought a book called “Deliberate Practice for Bass Guitar 2.0”. There is no music in the book. It is a book that talks how to practice in a deliberate way to make incremental gains that add up to a lot of progress. I am using it in my approach to learning jazz guitar. Would highly recommend for any instrument.

@MrMont-ue8kh 6 дней назад

Thanks, Jens. I really appreciated your remarks about talent. I have a colleague who's an amazing guitar player, but I don't know if he's ever progressed. I started at age 54 and to be honest, I really sucked for a long time. I can still remember the first time I could play a chord without looking at my left hand. And learning fingerpicking patterns in in-person lessons was just painful because I'm not naturally coordinated. But I stuck with it because I enjoy it so much. Really, I love playing because I love music. It's kind of like loving a certain dish all my life and now I know how to make it myself. I'm not great, but I don't think I'm a beginner any more. Thanks for all the lessons, Jens - especially the rhythms, scales and triad lessons. I wouldn't consider myself a jazz guitarist, but I love incorporating jazz ideas into my playing.

Jens, I think I am too old. 74. It's getting harder to memorize things. Hands sometimes ache. I believe learning jazz is a lifelong thing and I don't think there are enough years left in my life to become any good. It would be like a dream if I could know enough and have enough skill to play with a small jazz combo. For many years I played in rock and pop bands. But it seems like making a transition to playing jazz would be impossible. I remember about 7 or 8 years ago and I attended this party and they had a jazz band, all young college age guys, sax bass and guitar, no piano, no guitar. I remember thinking later I wish I could have backed them up.

@HaErBeSo 5 дней назад

Well, I guess I should think about this some more. But having gulped down about a bottle of (good) Spanish wine: what the hell. First of all: excellent advice. I’m on the verge of giving up studying jazz guitar. My current feeling is that many people - including teachers (sorry Jens, that’s also about you) - scare me with all these concepts and jargon. Also they intimidate me with their skills, leaving me feeling that I will never reach that level, whatever I do. It’s all so disconnected from what a beginner/medium level guitarist is working on. Moreover I feel that it’s not so much the time constraints or insufficient motivation that gets in my way. It just that the sheer volume of what can be learned, the order of learning this, so the total lack of a didactical approach that is killing me. Also, there seems to be an assumption among teachers that student want to play life music, or be part of a band. I’m really tired of hearing that the bass player will take care of the root note. Djeez, I’m playing by myself at home (like 90% of players), please just allow me to play the full chord. And, maybe most important, there is a more spiritual, psychological barrier: what’s the benefit of going through all this struggle and investment of time? Time I could spend drinking (even more) wine with my lovely wife?

@JensLarsen 5 дней назад

If you don't enjoy the process then don't learn Jazz, what would be the point? But as I say in the video: Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to you and measure the progress (this is probably true for anything, not only Jazz or music)

Hope that is ok, that is teh best I can offer 🙂

@kevindonnelly761 6 дней назад

I have a BA(Mus) Degree. After my Degree (post 1992), I went to see a very well known and successful 'Music as applied to the Guitar' (not just 'guitar') Educator. If I had my time over again, I would have just gone to see him and 'might' not have gone to Uni. He taught me more about playing and Music than Uni ever did - well, stuff that was more useful than what I learned at Uni. Many of the most successful professional guitarists here in Australia (both teaching and performance) were taught by him. This teacher sadly passed away in 2008. Uni was mainly a Composition and Theory Course. There was hardly any performance. It was so academic. I had a friend who went to a different College that had much more of a focus on performance. That suited him and what I did turned out to suit me. What Jens says here is true. Different Unis, different courses, different costs and so on. Everyone is different. It depends what your goals are. You can do some research re this on the internet. Good luck ! 😁

But I will mention that learning to understand and play from sheet music is a nice investment and I recommend it. There is nothing wrong with starting simple with just melody lines. There are a number of ways to do this. I am 58 but I recently ordered a basic guitar instruction book I had when I was nine. These old books tend to stay in print, I think, because they are so basic and the music they use is simple public domain stuff (folk songs, children's songs, some classical melodies, that sort of thing). To be honest, they are heavily criticized. But they will tell you where the notes are, and from there you can go off on your own more and use the Real Book, etc. And I think it's best to start somewhere rather than overthink it.
