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:

[GregoryPearsonMusic]

I love it as a progression with all those different shades

[andercoyote]

That G7b13 is something special. And of course Cmaj7 anytime...but the 2nd one was the richest...
Just great to hear the different variations. Thank you Jens! ☆

[adrielrichardson-lzut]

Yes they do, it's really about tone
, a nice tone can make just about anything sound good.

[kevinpatrick]

They do now....Thanks Jens...By the way the last one is by far the most delicious resolution I've ever heard!!!
Love the tension.🎶🎵👍🏽

[jqpmxqu]

That middle finger half bar between 5th and 3rd strings without muting the 1st, while making that stretch with the index... Damn!

[timswift]

These are so good, all of them,

And which ones are my favorite?

The question would be like asking me which are my favorite;

the Chrysler 392, the Ford 427, the Chevrolet 396 (?)

Answer; they are all unusually awesome.

Just like these chord II V I s are all awesome

I seem to find these short videos. Easier to figure out the chords really appreciate it. Only beginning to play jazz but enjoying it.

[tomcripps]

That was too good to not write down. Thanks Jens.

[victormahtapene]

2 for me. I love all of these. But I also play Prog stuff and 2 has a mix of it for me 😂

[jeffgarrison]

I don't write the same style of music, but I love my suspended chords and obviously 9ths and 11ths, as well as 6ths, 7ths, and 13ths... I mix a combination of to make the music evolve in a unique way that takes the listener on a journey through a elevating sonic landscape that, in my opinion, never gets monotonous, repetitious or boring... it's important to take the time to make the transition between modes sound/feel like natural transitions that create a logical progression into a mixture of all of the different moods within the musical movement, allowing for greater flexibility within quicker increments to reach a climax that has a very satisfying resolution after building the tension to a emotionally stirring point, leading to a far greater payoff when finally reaching home.
I have been working on this for many years, and I have discovered (rediscovered) many variations of ways to combine these modes and there's a certain satisfaction that I get when superimposing the upper extensions in a way that tricks and surprises the listener in an exciting and clever way that is like nothing else... there's no other feeling that is quite like this!!! It's phenomenal!!!

[gengbuibonewmai]

that first Dm7(11) chord looks like a nightmare in terms of playability.

[youlino]

Music.. a fascinating beautifull healing science 😌🎶🎼🔢🔡☮️☯️📖🩺🫀🧠🫂🌍

[ThoughtfulStoic]

I wonder what plugins he is using on that guitar? I imagine some compression, light distortion, and reverb? Sounds so spacious and bright 😎

[CV-jazz]

Got any chords for people that can't span five frets? Otherwise these sound lovely.

[duffdingelmeyer]

I know I've asked this before but I can't find the comment. What amp is this?

[cooldolphiin]

What key is this progression in? D minor?

[ticarot]

Too bad all the chord symbols at top are covered up by android icons on my phone.

[garyrindt]

Emotional boring, no rhythm. II, v, i
