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.

My Gear:

These are "Butter Notes". Miles Davis told Herbie Hancock to " Leave out the butter notes." The results have been spectacular. Of course, one can add or not add these notes, but try leaving out the "Butter Notes". You might be surprised.

Avoid roots and your neighborhood bass player will love you. Even with my limited experience I learned that VERY quickly!

How can one of the steps to getting more colorful chords be adding more color?

Reminds me Pat Metheny's song "Sirabhorn", from bright size life

Up until this point, I had been mostly unaware of that last trick, so thx! Also, I just posted my first song on Youtube, and it definitely has some jazz influence, so if u can, listen to it, and tell me what u think. Thx!

[ob-china]

so, add more notes and color, got it

isn’t a Dm7(9) without the root just an F major 7 chord because you have C, F, A, E
