It's actually refreshing to always note that you respect and understand naming conventions based on context. There are too many self proclaimed "teachers" that don't impart proper respect and understanding of music theory and how to correctly discuss and implement it. Kudos Jens !!

I've been watching you for years now, but with increasing frequency as of late. Starting to realize you have a lot of these intuitive understandings of things that have always gone over my head. I grew up with computer software and have come to see composing a lot like painting, but with a steady tempo. You have a great way of showing how sound is shaped with time through rhythm, harmony and melody. I'm creating exercises for myself based on yours, and I'm hearing things with clarity and playing with intention. Now, 15+ years later jazz is starting to feel a little more accessible to me as a player. Anyone can play around with a DAW and synth, but playing jazz is so freeing because you begin to feel yourself become the master of self-expression.

Hello Lens, thank you for your teaching. I watched another video before this one. Stopped this one at 1.34 to look at and try to play the tab on screen. Just want to say that i personally find the way lessons progress too linear and progressive for me. Just stopping here and playing the sequence of the tab a few times and not very well ie missing notes and loosing where i was on the neck. But i kept trying not worrying about how it sounded and errors did happen but the notes and where they are on the neck did sink in and I found myself forgetting about the exercise sequence but just improvising on the notes in whatever order happened to flow out of me......I think this is what I want to say to conclude as if I were telling myself: 1. give the tab as shown at 1.34 2. keep practising to get the notes going over them 3. be creative with them playing what ever you want to, just let it happen! This mirrors other fields and I am thinking about studies I have been doing on spiritual matters. 4 paths. I will note all four after this note. We get so sequenced in our thinking. its all logical left brain. Linear (straight line sequence/conscious mind progressing from a to b to c to.....etc) and not radial (lines at different angles out of a centre -spider diagrams/mind maps . Right brain is radial (emotional coming from unconscious mind). That is where creativity happens and its creativity that is missing. So thats my suggestion. Just a little thing to consider. Eg give a tab sequence of notes. Help people learn them on the neck. Help them to be creative with them...rather than sequencing a whole lesson which is difficult for people to remember and so enjoyment is suspended.... I hope that I am not sounding disrespectful of your talent and what you are doing in your lessons because no that is not the point. I shall be watching to learn more from you.... It might not be your style but there's a tube video by Steve Vai where he gives the story outline of how he wrote 'For the Love of God'. Have a look at that if you're interested because he says it better than I could. Title is 'Steve Vai Guitar Lesson - For The Love of God - Alien Guitar Secrets: Passion & Warfare'. 1. Via positiva. 2. Via negativa. 3. Via Creativa. 4. Via Transformativa (Rev Matthew Fox)........I have to add that at this time I am more interested in watching your teaching than his. We go through phases/have different needs at different times..

Regarding the application of the F-pent over the D-altered chord... so the go-to pentatonic for the altered chord begins a minor 3rd above the root of the altered chord. But the notes of the D-alt chord could also function as an Ab-alt, correct? Yet the pentatonic built on the minor 3rd of the Ab, which would be B-pentatonic (Cb technically, but...) do not work for the D-altered. I am missing something in here, definitely.

If you think playing pentatonic scale is easy, you ought to try playing pentatonic scale three and four notes per string stacotto. Although this is performed by prog metal guitarist, it could actually be used effectively in Jazz. I have gotten incredibly fast at this, say one note at a time from 5th interval low E string to 22nd fret on high E string 4th interval of Am pentatonic scale. I have also been getting better at jump one back the same in both directions. I've been getting better at using these perspectives in all keys. I started working on this three years ago. I have also gotten very proficient at playing pentatonic and major scales with outside notes in Latin Jazz format swing. Sounds as good as what your doing except different. I have to admit that you have some ideas that I have not yet tried. Maybe worth looking into if I get the time. Cheers

I'm only three persons, not five. Two are awaiting resurrection, little me and Betty. There are only twenty possible black holes in a cube space time continuum universe. These dwell within two sets of four energy fields. Because the universe is multi dimensional time wise, all twenty are within the four stacked negative electrons. The one in the middle is surrounded by the second which is surrounded by the third. All three of these are surrounded by the fourth negative electron. That's my soul. The universe is much more complicated than a calculator. Although factoring in the square route of twelve is E=MC√ 1.2988200 it must also be shaped like a cube and have a history that repeats itself infinitely. The twenty spirits dwell within the Trinity which is the unity of three persons in one. The other two of the three have independent reality through subspace frequencies. This is the one seated upon the wings of the cherubim which inhabits eternity. There is no mathematical room for anyone else in heaven, therefore they are cast down to the earth. The speed of light is a constant. That is forever. These twenty spirits, that dwell within the four stacked negative electrons, switch places with each other in increments of one every 88 trillion years. There is not a more perfect Union or any union greater.

Usually, nobody likes to hear this, so most people interpret it as an insult, even if it isn't meant as one. Please keep that in mind. There are different skill levels when it comes to lessons, and some may be above what you are able to follow. If you feel that this lesson would need me to show you how to play Fm pentatonic or how the Cmaj7 arpeggio works in an Am7 line then that is most likely because you don't have the skill level to follow along. There is nothing wrong with that, also not the video or my choices in teaching. As you can see from how the lesson is received there are plenty of people who found it useful, and for those people including basic information about how to make an Am7 line or how to play an Fm pentatonic position makes the lesson too long and boring. I used to add explanations like that 5 years ago, but the response, or reaction from the viewers have made me change that. The reception of this video speaks for itself, doesn't it? Does that help explain it?

I'd love it if you would check out some of my music analysis videos. My videos on Schism and Pnuema by Tool are two I'm very proud of.

This is great! I find it amusing when you say simple pattern considering the framework which is pretty advanced stuff. Yeah, most can play that but not in the right place nor at the right time :D

Disculpa la pregunta Maestro. Es decir que sobre un acorde alterado podemos utilizar cualquiera de los modos de la escala menor melodica de la que proviene dicho acorde?? Obviamente con las alteraciones correspondientes... gracias y Excelente clase como siempre. Saludos desde Guatemala!

I need some simple jazz chords to get started in jazz. It can get VERY COMPLICATED for the "pop rock" guitarist!🤣👍🏼 ...I'll keep watching.

I love your videos so much Jens . I must admit I have to watch most of them over and over again, like this one, because there is so much there and you move very fast. But I would not want it any other way!

I just think and throw the Pents around like they were a Maj 6/9 or m7sus arpeggios.

Hello Jens, you're videos and instruction are the best. Thank you for all you do !! Question - How do you keep up with the chord changes and perform chord-tone targeting while playing a song?
@JensLarsen
2 жыл бұрын
It is about thinking ahead, similar to how you read a text out loud. The main technique is usually referred to as playing towards target notes. Maybe check out some of these videos: kzitem.info/news/bejne/05V-wIeLn4F8qoI

Thank You !! Your video "Best approach: Target notes on a II V I " is providing useful guidance...Your the only instructor I have come across that illustrates a solid approach to following the changes and chord-tone targeting. Your point about some notes are better targets than others is very useful too.

Fantastic lesson, Jens - one of the best yet for us rock guys. You can use all kinds of chromatic notes in between the Pentatonic notes. The Pentatonic scale is a skeleton onto which you can add all kinds of chromatic "meat."

Yes, but you will miss the diatonic stuff if you want to play bop though :)

Excellent work again Jens. I have just added pentatonic riffs to the arpeggios you showed earlier. It is such a simple 'trick' and I swear it now sounds like I'm playing Jazz.. I may now get around to swapping my strings over to the flat wounds I bought earlier :) Thanks heaps for sharing.

People never really discuss the insane utility of the major and minor pentatonics. Major pent skips right over the 11 avoid tone. Same thing with the minor 13. You have quick access to ALL of your tensions, b5 and dominants (3 for minor, b3 for major). Easy chromaticism. Easy Dorian. Your min7 arpeggios and chords. The list goes on and on...

when you use the minor pentatonic on the relative major (or the other way round) you need to "rethink the funktion of the notes". I am always struggling with this, when I switch fast. Need more exersice. Thanks for the lession, it rocks! ;-)
