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.

Do you like this passing chord sound? 🌶😎

[Bryson-opbc]

I really appreciate these chord movement videos because it helps me get the sound of the harmony. This is what I like about jazz..so many interesting ways to resolve. This also seems to resolve to C minor as well.. Try Eflat Maj13 Dflat Maj13 Aflat7 Cminor 7 then walk up half diminished chords minor thirds starting from B, D, F add D as melody note and resolve back to C major.😉

Lovely stuff, I was playing around with something similar just yesterday.

[ValirAmaril]

the last one is from a famous recording?

Poor diatonic me could only think of Bdim7 and maybe Dbdim7 for a slightly outside chromatic sound? :)

I'm always given something I didn't know with Mr. Larsen's lessons, even the 1 minute ones.

Someone once said they struggled with the theory in a Rick Beato video.

Rick is great, but wait til they see what Jens Larsen can give them in 60 seconds. :) Best guitar teacher on YouTube.

I find that first C Maj 7 voicing difficult to play, the cool thing with these passing chords is they set you up for that shape.

I used to wonder what 'Voicings' meant in Chords. It is analogous to having a small group of three, four or more people singing the harmony tones as a small choir. One sings the top, one sings the middle and one sings the bottom melody / notes. When applied to the guitar (fretboard) a chord becomes much more than something that is strummed / picked. Harmonies have a direction because they have melody too. I like the harmonies (with melodies in them) in this video Jens. They sound different and creative. That's what it's all about. The ii - V7 - I Chords are the landmarks and the passing chords are the stepping stones. You can't go wrong.

It sounds goofy and you can't use it on other than solo arrangements
