In this video, I challenge myself to find new things to play in solos, and one way I do that is to limit myself to a single thing and then really explore that, and that is what I am going to do in this video with a basic Cmaj7 arpeggio and all the Bebop Tricks I can think of, or at least most of them.

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.

It's 3AM here in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm a night owl. Some of the best ways to get the most practical use of Arpeggio's is 1.Melodic embellishment of the diatonic 1,3,5,7 notes. 2. Interesting rhythms. 3. Different contours. 4. Inversions. In other words Parker Bebop Arpeggio language which you demonstrate here perfectly. Limitation exercises are one of the best ways to thoroughly ingrain a concept. Great video.Thanks.

@effsixteenblock50 2 года назад

Jens - if you're ever having a bad day, just think about how much you're helping people. Being a great teacher and being able to leverage technology in this way means you quite possibly are helping more people than any music teacher has in history. Think about that! I really feel like I can say we ALL appreciate you and your efforts!

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Thank you! I am aware and it is indeed motivating that so many people enjoy the videos 🙂

@jorro87 2 года назад

I recently realized that about Charlie Parker’s language: he has a lot of the general sound of the older players and the idea of the Major 6 chord as a stable triad. A lot of times he only plays 7ths in a blues as a point of resolution to the next chord. In a lot of ways I wonder: maybe he thought about harmony in a different way than how most people think now. Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to replicate a lot of his playing…

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

I don't know if he thought differently about harmony, that depends on how you think 🙂 I må pretty sure he did not think in chord scale and modes though 😁

@hansbendixen5430 2 года назад

When i played the first parker line i thought hmm major 7 is that just for the sake of a leading note ... Glad to see you explained it afterwards. great lesson as always.

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

@insidejazzguitar8112 2 года назад

Enjoy your videos as always! As I think you have explained in the past, one of the ways I love getting more mileage out of awesome major seven lines and concepts like these is to use them from the flat seven of substitute dominant cords, like tritone subs and back-door dominants, or from the minor third of the II-7 chord.

I often ignore some chords 😅 but end up resolving later. I really like to play diminished over dominant chords too, that's why I love Jazz endless possibilities, Btw I just been accepted into university to study music, jazz in specific, I'm so scared and so thrilled at the same time since I'm 31 and play guitar for like 5 years, jazz for 3 years, and only own an acoustic guitar 😂 and I must thank you, cause unaware of it you actually helped me and gave me inspiration, so thank you Jens, for everything.

@nicohauptmentalist 2 года назад

the pedal point notes... i like this sound very much because it builds a groove into the melody. dub n dob n dub... and i wonder what rules or laws are common with this principle. is the pedal note for example a 5 (as an absolute note) or relative to the melody note, maybe a 6? and how to practice it to get into the fingers?

@feratgoogle 2 года назад

A Jens, great vid again. Your Parker story on the introduction I7 in blues ('extended dominant') is quit intruiging. Do you have any reference maretial on that?

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Not really, it was an observation made by a teacher at the conservatory, and it is fairly easy to spot in solos.

@As-pf1zu 2 года назад

Lens I have not subscribed before but have viewed a lot of your RU-vid stuff. Could you direct me to one of your videos that explains jazz in so simple terms it would be like teaching a kindergarten child. I just for some reason cannot get my head around jazz guitar and want to. Thanks

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

It is difficult to give too specific advice because everybody is different and at different levels, but maybe check out this post: jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-jazz-guitar-suggestions-to-begin-studying/

@As-pf1zu 2 года назад

Thanks for that but for some reason I see jazz guitar as this complex language of guitar. I think I would be going back as far as this is a guitar in jazz terms. I have learnt the fretboard and a lot of chords but as soon as someone states diatonic or what modes do you know my brain goes to mush. An instance of this, if you say play dom c7 or cmaj 7 fine can do but put those chords in jazz notation and I’m back to playing one note c chord. It is literally that much of a leap for me some reason. Thanks for your help.

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

@@As-pf1zu Listen to the music and stop wondering how to play it. It is a genre of music, it is not a skill, and if you don't like the music then don't worry about how to play it. It should always start by listening to the music.

Anything wrong about taking all those Cmaj7 licks and using them as upper extension D7 to Gmaj7?

Jens - I love your stuff. I've been a working musician for five decades, I've bought your course, and I'm a huge fan - you're the best jazz guitar teacher on the internet! But please leave out those corny pop-ups .They make your videos seem cheesy, and what you teach and how you present it is anything BUT corny and cheesy. Thanks man - and keep up the great (guitar) work!

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Keep in mind that while you may not like how I make videos then it may work better for others and I have to enjoy making them. I am not sure what your are coitizing exactly but we all have different tastes and maybe the way I make videos now just doesn't work for you. That will always be the case no matter what I do.

@martinmilan3169 2 года назад

Sorry Jens, but although the material in your videos is great and the playing very nice, I have got a criticism (which applies to many of your 'colleagues' too) : the sound of your voice is much louder than the volume of the guitar. It makes it unpleasant to listen to, without turning it down, then I can't hardly hear your lines.

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

If you find that this is something that happens a lot on RU-vid videos then it could also be what you are listening on. Just a thought.
