The way this video is structured is how I've always wanted lesson videos on youtube to be. Quick cuts and plenty of supplementary charts and tabs. So hard to retain information when just listening to the instructor speak. This extra makes the lesson so accessible, Thanks Jens!

I've seen many of your videos. Many are too complicated for me, but this one is just brilliant! If I were you I would strongly consider delivering more lessons at this sort of basic level for some time before perhaps then taking more of us with you once we have these fundamemtals more firmly in place. Clearly, jazz can be anything from what you have presented here to what, for most of us, is hugely complicated. I will relish future lessons if they are at this level. Thank you very much for this one.

Great lesson! At some point i started learning triads in all positions and inversions, my guitar playing totally changed ever since. I'm still learning to harness that power even more using them for upper structures and so on.

@kevindonnelly761 Год назад

Even the pop up ads to learn guitar 'the easy way,' i.e. no theory, no reading, no practice, no guitar, no arms, no legs - just tab are more complex than this. But this video will give you results - AND you won't sound like EVERY OTHER BLUES PLAYER WHO PLAYS BLUES 'THEIR WAY' - BUT THEY SOUND THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.

For fast tempo jazz blues I couldn't move fast enough for triads, for slower tempo jazz blues yeah, it is easy for me. But a good jazz blues example is Kenny burrell.

@cam_ferguson_official 2 года назад

Heya Jens, been a fan of your videos for years. I had a question about "true" improvisation. I see some folks describe improv as 100% spontaneous, whereas lately i've been seeing more and more people describing it as having quite a bit of a solo prepared ahead of time, and the improv comes in to embellish what they've prepared. Care to comment on written vs improvised solos? as in how much should be prepared vs on the spot?

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Maybe listen to the same songs both as studio and live recordings or several recordings of the same song and then see if you find that the solos sound written or improvised. I think you are misunderstanding this and making the wrong conclusions, but a bit of listening will most likely get a more realistic perspective.

Hi Maestro!! Philosophical question I am always trying to go a bit further using playing out and other resources to spice up my lines a bit...Mainly focussed on my own compositions But when it gets to solid knowledge (like your triads video) I feel like a beginner, unable to place triads on the mast...literally lost Should I stop all that I am doing and go back to the basics and don't move from there till I have a sound founding on this basic structures???

I tried naming the A7 altered chord in the example (without googling) and came up with A7#5b9. Does that sound right?

Sort of, but I find b13 a better description than #5 in the context.

@lewiscano1350 2 года назад

@@JensLarsen Thanks Jens. This spelling makes more sense to me too as you note the Bbm triad is at the top of this chord.

@maxwellshammer5283 2 года назад

I have a question? started playing guitar in the late 60s. When I was learning chords I never saw a chord labeled such as G7alt. Does that mean any kind of altered chord or a specific chord? b5 or #5 I’m guessing! I’m seeing in more and more the last few years. Thanks!

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

G7alt means a dominant from the altered scale, so no perfect 5th or 9th and any combination of b5, b13b9 and #9.

@maxwellshammer5283 2 года назад

@@JensLarsen What’s the altered scale. On a G7b9 I usually use an Ab melodic minor or a diminished scale or sometimes instead of a dominant chord, say in C, I use a Db7.
