Lol, double enclosures were another one of those things that when I first learned it I thought, "oh yeah, I'm a jazzer now baby!"

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Exactly!! 😂

@benkatof5852 2 года назад

Great lesson Jens! I finally dug into diminished scale material and have been combining it with these types of pivot arpeggios with enclosures on dominants - end on the 7th, (or 3rd or 5th) enclose the 13th (half step down) as a start of new arpeggio. Today's lesson provides so much for connecting and utilizing raw material - which is one of the hardest things to learn. Love it.

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Thanks Ben! :)

@henryjakob3033 2 года назад

Hej Jens, som altid en god og informativ video,mange tak. Pat Martino uses very few chromatic enclosures in his solo on How Insensitive on the tonic chord dm7/9(if i‘m not completely wrong). Venlig hilsen og god fornøjelse

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Yes, but not the one that I am talking about in this video. He certainly uses other enclosures :)

not a jazz guy obviously, but Jerry Garcia was a master of chromaticism. his solo on They Love Each Other from Cornell 77 is ridiculously tasty and full of enclosures

@thejamnasium6447 2 года назад

great lesson as always Jens! thanks for helping me expand my knowledge

@adamvesely7550 2 года назад

The saxophonist James Moody uses that "Pat Martino enclosure" a lot. But sure he got it from Parker. It is a great bebop cliche :D

@jameserenberger3425 Год назад

Hey Jens! Thank you for all of the awesome content. Is there a bebop scale that you would recommend over an altered dominant chord? I assume the altered scale with a passing tone in the Maj 7th position would work. I am curious how you would approach this.

@JensLarsen Год назад

No, I don't really use Bebop scales, I always found it more powerful to just use chromatic notes as a melodic tool and not some sort of system.

@jameserenberger3425 Год назад

@@JensLarsen That makes sense. I know the system traditionally is used to hit specific chord tones on the strong beats of 1/8th note lines. Alt chords are kind of the exception because you hit notes that are implied to not necessarily be in the chord voicing used. The Altered Scale would hit all of the "outside" notes, but the strong beats would vary since it's got an odd number of tones. That probably is the best choice anyway, but it's fun to ask great players how they think about this stuff. Thank you again! 😀

@rongibbs390 2 года назад

@johnjacquard863 2 года назад

lately , i really love the progression I6 / #IVdim7/ imin7/ iidim7 descending through all the inversions of drop2 or drop3 becuase you get this nice melodic contour which travels through each obe of the inversions and you can start building that out into a bunch of things. do you enjoy taking progressions through descending inversions to create long winding descending melodic contours?

@johnjacquard863 2 года назад

ex. C6 / F#dim7/ Dmin7/ Bdim7 that descends through each one of the C6 inversions with a descending melodic contour attached to the drop2 or drop 3 or drop2&4 its just a fun way to come up with long winding melodies.

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

I tend to focus more on songs and actual progressions, but exercises like that can be fun to do 🙂

@karlderdelinckx 2 года назад

So essentially everything which works with a passing note to the target note from below or above can work with an enclosure from both sides? Still a bit confused to create them my self…

@JensLarsen 2 года назад

Yes, any melody that you can come up with. Just try a few and see if you find one you like? Or use the ones in the video 😁

@BarrySahagian Год назад

I have to disagree on Not using an approach tone on the down beat. It really has it's own sound. As long as it resolves to a traget right away, it is very effective IMO. You have to carefull or it can sound incorrect. Just another way o acomplising tension and resolve.

@JensLarsen Год назад

I believe that is also what I say in the video? 🙂

Bro you’re a literal beginner and you’re criticizing someone with hundreds of hours of free educational content. You need therapy. I’m sorry whatever terrible shit that happened to you went down - you didn’t deserve it - but you’re responsible for fixing the damage it did to you. You’re clearly deeply insecure and try to belittle those you envy in order to obscure that fact from yourself. Trust me, your insecurity is obvious to everyone else. I recommend you try to fix it rather than lie to yourself about it.
