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:

[XX-mxjt]

I love this. Reminds me of something Alan Holdsworth might have made.

[kevindonnelly]

These harmonic colours don't sound like anything else I've heard before. That's what I like about them the most.

[Arycke]

Those color change from the maj7sus2's and the more dissonant maj7b5 and 13th chord was beautiful. Thank you for sharing, sir, I always learn a lot from you.

[markrollinger]

Beautiful, we get focused on scales & arpeggios. Wander around the harmony, & see what can be discovered!

[krassawatmakul]

Wow, that progression’s so elegant and cool

[janehutchison]

Much easier way to play the Abmaj79 chord: 2nd finger on 6th stg Ab, 3rd finger barres the 3rd and 1st stgs at the 3rd fret, 3rd finger second string 4th fret. An easy chord I use often that your hand muscles will thank you for. Thanks Jens this is very pretty

[climbtibet]

Wow man that was great; thank you for the big share! 💪🎸 🤟

[NoFunkGiven]

My teacher be like "yeah let's improvise quickly on those 5 chords"

[ricklaino]

The "Bmaj7 b5 " reminds me of Steely Dan...

[Cantbuyathrill]

I played your chord progression on my tenor and it sounds very informed (gorgeous)

[canadianguitarguru]

This has a giant steps kinda vibe! Beautifully done!

[Cantbuyathrill]

I wouldnt call it weird. Innovative, yes; even musically elegant.

[berachtdorian]

Your teaching is splendid and seamless. How did you develop your teaching chops?

[adventurer]

I think that sounds beautiful actually.

[michaeldennisguitarlessons]

For some reason these chords remind me of John McLaughlin's playing on "Extrapolation".

[ferrandonatelli]

Reminds me of Allan Holdsworth’s “Shallow Sea” Intro (IOU)

[tomcripps]

Sounds a bit like a Lenny Breau thing going on. A lot of great solo ideas inside those.

[StephenVerlí]

If i end up using this in my song don't sue me lol

[garrettbaker]

Reminds me of Moonchild - King Crimson

[manami]

so much stretchiness, how to make that with any speed??? that Aflatmaj7(9) ! great push to the limits, Thanks
