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.

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 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 !

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 жыл бұрын
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.
