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.

Chords are like a room of mirrors. You turn this way, and that, and keep seeing something new... These are some very attractive choices!

All 3 in a row just as shown here sound like a song already, with variations added as the pattern repeats. But the 3rd one shows the most possibilities to go to further places. 😊 Really enjoy the content you put out!

I find the F∆ / C7(13) / Gm7 very I love these SHORTS. I get a lot out of them.

[lesliewebb]

I finally got it even on piano and organ

[bernieheveron]

I like all of them! Number 3 sounds great after hearing 1 & 2

Thanks for sharing! I would use the two first ones in the middle of the song and end it with the last one.

[stevenmike]

can you add in a quick tab for the melody within the cords. maybe in the closed caption or an annotation. i figured the second one out. but the 3rd one doesnt have enough info for learning players to just easily figure out.

New suscribed and fan here, thank you for share master, God bless you. It is a great excersice for me fingers 😅

The 3rd sequence has incorrect diagrams--it's G-7 (then add the high 7th) then C13 to C7#5 (or b13 if you prefer) then F∆ F7 F6

[olevoni]

@jenslarsen last chord is not that easy my brother! lol keep posting!

[rifosi]

Depends on context, I suppose. But alone, I prefer the 3rd

[markscheld]

Jen's your cord diagram on your third progression is incorrect.
