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.

I think it’s when you learn this you start to understand jazz isn’t necessarily complicated - it’s just a sound of flow toward chord tones.

[Remi-B-Goode]

"jazz licks without notes" soon lol

[patandmacmusic]

You explain things so simply, I love it

[Jamestele]

Amazing how seemingly simply concept can fundamentally improve one's playing. Thank you once again Maestro!

[Cantbuyathrill]

Love this guy. Insightfully eye-opening.

[Australia__]

Awesome Jens. Thanks so much for that. 5.30am in Australia. Just got out of bed and gave it a go!! Works beautifully!!

[eddie]

Your content and playing is great. Thank you so much!

[rogeralleyne]

It's one of those concepts where it's easy to grasp; hard to internalize so you can pull it out at anytime!!!🙏

[sanavthecardist]

This is actually incredibly good ❤ thanks man!

[frankmonteleone]

Thanks Jens. This is helpful in many ways.

[seraphym]

Now this is going to be a helpful concept to explore and apply to my solos.

[RuptimusPrime]

Very cool. Found it really easy to implement after messing around with it for a few minutes, really lets you do a lot with very little. Thanks!

[ABrookfire]

Love these quick tips. Very helpful for easy lessons. Thx!

[stephenwoodring]

I learned chromatic steps into chord shapes in a country instruction book. One time I find it to be both beautiful and outside, sounding at the same time.

[mattgoldsworthy]

That's so fun. Awesome, thank you Jens.

[DoubleBassX]

Just found your channel! Thank you good sir!

[brodiebehrmann]

Dang! Super useful! I have to try that!

[torky]

if its not too much, can you explain which notes would act as enclosures? I know leading notes would be the 7th to each triad note

[pedroaguirreestrada]

The enclosure phrase is like Joe pass chord melody in "when you wish upon a star"

[alelaera]

I am learning a lot of terminology by watching your videos. Many ideas, I already use in my soloing, but many others I am also picking up or refining.
