It is difficult to combine scales and arpeggios and most of us struggle with arpeggios into music and to make it something that we really make music within our Jazz Guitar Solos. In this video, I am going to take you through a challenge, and you are going to figure out if there techniques for making lines or licks, that you don't know or use. You can keep score and see if there is anything you want to add to your playing or develop further.
So the focus is not really on learning new arpeggios but learning how to use them in your playing.

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.

@AJGreen-cn8kk 4 года назад

Really good lesson. I used to play in a group lesson with half a dozen guys of various skill levels. At times, when it was my turn to solo I would break out my arpeggios. At the end the instructor asked me what I played and I would name off the arps. He just shook his head and said "you think to much"! I gotta break that habit. Thanks for helping in that search.

Your lessons are always very insightful and are helping me a lot to get into jazz as a rock player! I am trying to incorporate arpeggios into my solos to make them more interesting. Do you have any tips in terms of visualizing arpeggios all over the fretboard or a video I may have missed that would help me get started? Thanks and keep up the awesome videos! :)

Zero for Seven was my score. Kinda has a catchy ring to it like “Blues for Elvin” and “7 come 11”, so I have that going for me.

Hello Jens. Can you please make a video about jazz fusion and chord progressions? Thank you.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

There is not really special progressions connected to fusion so that is not really possible :)

@kjmtanta6769 4 года назад

I appreciate your time and commitment to this channel sir. However, for beginners like me, i feel its better if you talk in terms of numbers in relation to scales.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

Thanks! Well, then you know what to work on :)

@MrThomasmayer 4 года назад

i'd love to see your picking technique explained in a vid. And do you have space for any new (dutch) students?

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

I have some videos on technique, just search the channel. I don't have room for more students, sorry. If you send me an email then maybe I can recommend someone 🙂

@Marunius 4 года назад

How about modal arpeggios? What I mean is for instance in an e-minor/g-major oriented progression, playing a d major upper triad over a C major chord can create this beautiful lydian sound.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

Sure, if that is what you are going for! :)

@SamBellGuitar 4 года назад

I got 6/7 points, but I still lose because I don't apply this stuff enough and its so useful! I have a question if you have time? Initially whilst learning these concepts yourself Jens, did you (and do you still?) practice slowly improvising around these concepts over single chords/short progressions or do you create/write phrases to practice getting them into your playing? Thanks again for your amazing videos! Hope you're well!

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

Well done! :) I used to practice on single chords, but I think with most of these I was already playing on different songs and progressions. When I work on stuff like this I spend quite a bit (what eels like an insane!!) amount of time composing and using the material on songs, either in a slow tempo or completely rubato.

@cfibanez 4 года назад

I guess I got 2.5 points here. I also use inversions, but that wasn’t listed. 🙃 Thanks!

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

Haha! Just keep at it :)

@delpanos 4 года назад

Jens I have a proposal for a possible lesson, could you show us a couple of arpeggios used in the choruses of Charlie Christian's Swing to Bop (Topsy)? Curious to see how/what he plays over the rhythm chords. Just a suggestion in case anybody else would be interested. Thank you for your great insight and knowledge !

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

I stopped doing videos like that because the videos focused on players were not interesting to most of my audience, sorry. Maybe if I ever find another way to approach something like that then I could start doing that again. For now, that's pretty bad for the channel

@chrissguitarshow206 4 года назад

I find those videos the most interesting coming from actual examples from songs

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

That's fair, but having done more than 50 of them it was pretty clear what the data was saying 🙂

@georgeeldridge7954 4 года назад

Jens, could you do an analysis of one of denny dias' solos? Great video, thanks.

@georgeeldridge7954 4 года назад

like bodisattva or king of the world or your gold teeth ii

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

No, that's not really stuff I listen to, sorry. (And I stopped making analysis videos for now, since people were not that interested in them)

@georgeeldridge7954 4 года назад

@@JensLarsen it seems you are against broadening your musical horizons beyond anything that is not "straight ahead jazz". Its a shame, as you are a fabulous teacher, but only for a specific type of thing, IMHO.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

@@georgeeldridge7954 Well, I am sure you can respect that my taste is different from yours. I don't tell you what you have to be interested, do I? And please don't make assumptions on what I listen to based on what I want to make videos on, I like a lot of different music but most of it does not fit the channel.

@bubblevest1544 4 года назад

Thank you again, maybe I’m having a off day, can someone explain how the F#dim arpeggio works in this. (5:35). I understand that the F# is the 3rd of D, but what makes it diminished. How does the work in the context of being in the C maj progression. Thanks in advance

@BL55 4 года назад

Mr. Vest: The example is about arpeggios that sound good over a D7 chord. The arpeggio you are asking about is actually F# half-diminished, not F# diminished. If you build a 7th chord diatonically starting at the 3rd of D7 you will get an F# half-diminished chord, with the notes being F# A C E. Hope this helps.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

What BL55 said plus: That example is in G major not in C major :)

@bubblevest1544 4 года назад

Jens Larsen like I said I must have had an off day. Being in G ,makes sense. Not sure how I missed that, even backtracked on video. I just realized I was thinking Dm7, instead of D7.thinking as ii chord instead of V chord. Need stronger coffee. Thanks always.
