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.

It's not all Clatpon licks....priceless! Thanks again.

[alexanderpotts]

I've been working heavily on this kind of thing the last month or two. thanks for more ideas!!

[salimbaghli]

Excellent, helpful and practical
I use a lot of chromaticism, Pat metheny style, on different pentatonic scales and it gives a nice feel when done right ! Thank you Jazz Boss !!!

[kabelogumani]

I love how you always have a dig at Clapton on these pentatonic jazz videos. Great content as always!

[SlowBluesInc]

Hey, I love Clapton licks! But I also love this lesson, as usual! Great job.

[MarkAnderson-ivzt]

This is great, all kind of new possibilities. Rather than just a minor blues bailout when I get lost.

[chrissguitarshow]

Great lesson. I learned a lot from Jerry Bergonzi’s book on Pentatonics. Volume 2 of his Inside Improvisation series.

Muy buen video de las múltiples combinaciones para evitar notas (avoid notes), y dar otro color a los solos. Gracias Jens.

I love using pentatonic scales for improvising melodies.. they just sound more musical to my ears than arpeggios and I find myself able to think more about other things like rhythm. Thanks for the tip on what pentatonic to use over an altered chord!

[voronOsphere]

Thanks, Jens! This will be very helpful for me!

[Banzurit]
