    What is your best advice for learning to comp?
    Are we are focusing on the wrong things with comping rhythms and rhythm in general?

    Comping seems like it should be easy -- just groove with the music -- but it's easy to walk off a cliff in rhythmic confusion. Jens is a thoughtful and creative teacher, and comping is one of the subjects Jens teaches best, in my opinion.

    As a blues wannabe player I can only admire such classy jazz rhythm and skill. Thanks for sharing such valuable knowledge. I have my difficulties in following simple rhythms 😂 🖖🏻. Take care

    I used to play percussion in a Brazilian samba band - that really nails pretty much any rhythm, and you learn how to feel it even when you're not playing - well worth a listen.

    • @JensLarsen

      Indeed! I also used to play drums for fun between lessons 🙂

    2:00 Maybe no surprise but your advice is great for piano. Your emphasis on anticipating changes and building a rhythmic vocabulary like this is really helpful 🙏

    Rhythm #6 comes from Traditional Jazz and was the primary phrasing unit of Louis Armstrong (and Bix Beiderbecke)!

    Thanks, Jens! This is the motivation I needed to pull out my metronome again. I've been neglecting it.

    A rhythm video! Exactly what I'm looking for. I always use a metronome and a looper, really good tools.

    Very brilliant and interesting! Will be very nice to have an encyclopedia of this rhythms with chord progression applied as you do to start. Amazing!

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! I actually think that the point is to learn to improvise not have a million rhythms that you can't do anything with?

    • @gianlucapolitano3228
      @gianlucapolitano3228 7 месяцев назад

      Sure, just think to have it for starting... But... You know, I there's a lot more! Thank you and bless music :)

    Great content as usual. Thank you so much!
    There is one aspect of playing those rhythm that you did not discuss though: the importance of precisely the cutting the ringing of the chord at the right time. I feel that it has a tremendous impact on the groove. A chord that is lefr ringing a little too long instead of being cut right on the beat completely ruins the swing feel... (IMHO)

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  7 месяцев назад +1

      Certainly! But that is not set in stone for these examples so it is hard to include, and my focus is more on teaching people to get more out of less in a creative way 🙂

    it is good you hearken back to charleston, itself was waaaaaay modern for its time, decadent in fact, and to reaaaaaaaaaallly get to the roots of this prestigious artform called *The Jazz,* u reaaaaalllly got to go back to the Roots of the Music, i.e. New Orleans(!) and none of this modern charleston stuff, learn the Roots b4 tackling charleston or *gasp* even *swing* (which is what all the kids these days love when they dance their modern dances at the disco!)
    dont get me started on that avant garde noise called 'bebop'! ha!

  • @larsfocken3456

      And vocalizing underlying time while practicing the stabs keeps it real for me.

  • @terencecaldon8548
    @terencecaldon8548 7 месяцев назад +1

    Jens, this is off-topic. Your guitars hanging in the background: are all of the hangers hitting a stud behind the wall? If not, how are you accomplishing this? I would like to do the same.

    • @terencecaldon8548
      @terencecaldon8548 7 месяцев назад

      But on topic: For yearsI’ve watched and played along with every vid you’ve made. And though I enjoy learning amazing jazz licks, it’s your comping videos (or any rhythm related vids), that are the real meat and potatoes of jazz. Once you understand the harmonic cadence of the chords, soloing over them will be so much easier. At least for me. 😃

    • @terencecaldon8548
      @terencecaldon8548 7 месяцев назад

      Well, maybe rhythm is the meat and soloing is the potatoes. Bass is the broth. Drums are the bowl. Without the bowl everything would fall apart.

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thar wall is concrete, so it is pretty easy to hang stuff 🙂

  • @rockstarjazzcat
    @rockstarjazzcat 7 месяцев назад +4

    And my best advice is incorporating vocalization of the time while practicing the chordal st.abs. (RUclips keeps eating my comment. The AI censors are the bane of serious discussion these days. Thus breaking up the key word in chordal…)

      You can't please everyone. I did try lessons just playing but that wasn't working for the majority of my audience, so I don't do that
