Jens,you have such a easy to understand teaching technique, I'm totally sold,been playing for a while......But u never cease to amaze me.....Thanks J.L.
I am 54 years old, I listened to Joe Pass “Virtuoso” in 1978 and was mystified so focused on rock and blues. Now I want to play something with more meaning and after years of being bemused by jazz this man has opened the door for me.... I finally get it.... learn the scales and then learn the arpeggios to know which notes to emphasise. 40 years after picking up a buitar it is finally making sense. Thank you Jens.
Jens is Da Man. I've learned so much this past month. I'm.a slow learner in guitar but finally music theory, which I basically ignored for years is being demystified thanks to Jens' lessons/explanations. Happy learning and playing😎🎸☮️
This is immensely useful for soloing in any genre, you have shown me the light. Notice the scale in terms of the scale degree, then notice how you can play the arpeggios over the scale, and then you are free to play any of the notes in the current chord and it will sound pleasing, and you can anticipate the chord coming up and play a note in the current chord that strongly pulls to a note in the next. Unreal. This has totally changed my guitar playing.
Jens You are amazing at explaining jazz to musici from different genres. Instead of jazz being scary it is understandable and awesome! I thank you for the amazing resources you are giving to the community.
This is it!!!!!! It's like you opened the door to improvising using arpeggios. I ve never been able to apply it in practice but this makes perfect and clear sense.
This is so helpful, Jens, the way you walk us through starting with arpeggios and then adding notes from the scale. Super helpful and I am going to add this into my practice routine. Thanks!
The Diatonic Arpeggios of C major...!!! This made so much sense. Chord tone and scale tone... Made so much sense to me. Thanks! I finally passed thru my mind barrier!
I just wanted to let you know: I am learning jazz from instructor and we're starting off with c major, c major scale arpeggios etc. ANd your lessons on Diatonic arpeggios are one of the most helpful for me
You really have a spark for guitar instruction. I can actually fundamentally see and hear what you’re playing. Some of the best instruction I’ve ever seen, or heard.
@@JensLarsen thank you as well, Jens! I’m a self taught metal guitarist with no real music base and your channel has been a blessing! Like the flooding of comments on each of your videos, I would like to add a drop in the pond of appreciation for the lessons you put out! A few have been major breakthroughs in the way I’m learning, practicing and thinking about music. Can’t wait to continue my journey with your guidance.
Wow this awesome! I hear the chords and individual notes he's hitting. I now understand what emphasizing on root note etc within each chord means. This can apply to every chord progression. Thank you for the explanation!
Jens , you are a magnificent instructor. You have the i do , we do , you do approach which i believe to be the most efficient way to teach. As a primarily classical , fingerstyle player i find your material inviting as a means of exploring jazz. Thank you so much for your worthwhile work. God bless!
Thank you so much Jens! This lesson is the bread and butter lesson for jazz soloing! Wow! I saw a few of your other triad lessons and somehow didnt see this one! You have so many lessons!! I am using this concept and my jazz solos are progressing exponentially.
Im an oldschool metal drummer, now 55, and started playing guitar aside. As a metalhead Ive always like the bands with jazzy drumbreaks. As a guitarplayer its fun playing jazz.
You're the first person ever to make jazz click. At least I understand now why everything is like it is, and I'm working on actually being able to play it.
amazing! u did it again Jens, i was able to connect so many ideas with this approach. so much value in this lesson. thank you for all you do. you rock!
I've been trying to learn more on youtube for years, but you are the best teacher I have found. Brilliant detailed explanations and perfect examples that I can use right away. I subscribed and will support. Thanks!

The thing that's difficult for me is that I can't readily identify all notes as I relate more to scale patterns for me. In other words I can look at the top strings and identify the notes immediately but really improvise a great minor pentatonic solo. Major keys really throw me off in terms of improvising solos as all the notes in the scale aren't as versatile over each chord as the minor pentatonic is. I understand triads and chord building so I'm sure this lesson will be pretty useful as it gets me to identify the notes on demand and memorize them that way instead of looking up at the ceiling and working it out in my head.
This may be fundamental, but it was what I needed. Being self taught has some advantages, but there are a lot of holes that need to be filled in. Thanks Jens for helping to fill one of the holes!
Thanks again! I have been playing these scales and arpeggios without even thinking about them for over twenty five years, my main aim is to create lines that are my own, what I love about your concept, is your emphasis on target notes and time. Always learn something new with you, Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎸
I love your videos Jens. I don't play jazz myself but theory is theory and im always looking for new ideas and jazz is probably heavier on theory than any other style so i get a lot of ideas and go in different directions than i would have ever thought of after watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this video. After years of playing by ear I decided (a bit late in life) to learn some theory and this was the first video I could actually endure and sit through. I watched, practiced and re-watched and learned a lot. I was also able to recognize right away than one of my favorite songs was simply this Cmaj7 progression. What a pay off for just a little bit of practice!
Great video, I'm new to jazz and can't read music but I am now starting to understand so much more thanks to you. Keep up the good work it's much appreciated.
Perfect lesson for were im going this could be tittled so maybe ways this is helping me with modes and fingerings and so much more. I like the way the diatonics are layed out on the staff helps with reading and on and on .best lesson for me yet
Thank you Jens. Scales Scales and Scales, up and down, that I can do (sort of). Never in my life of noodling I came up with nice bepop lines. Untill this rather simple exercise in this video. A new chapter for me. Thank you so much.
Sound advice, I start every new song this way to set up a baseline and I revisit this technique periodically just to regroup. The fundamentals are always a good thing! Thank You. 😎
I feel as though the writing lines part is the most natural way to practice improvising. You learn how to connect different arpeggios and scales while being creative in how you do that with the rhythms. You're also practicing ear training because if you play the lines enough to where they're ingrained in your ears, then you'll have a clear aural image in your mind of a melody that works through the progression in a non-mechanical way. The best part about it though is it's something you can do continuously. Creating a solo, learning it so that it becomes 2nd nature, and then forgetting it so that you can do it all over again on the same song seems like it has infinite possibilities for creativity and enjoyment.
I think that is very true, but you have to also make sure to take it to the point where you can improvise lines in a medium tempo in time. If you don't do that then there is a chance it won't be useful in a solo.
Thank you Mr. Larsen, in the key of C is a lot better for me to get acquainted with the understanding of arpeggios to recognize in what sequence you're in, for me it is hard to make up a sharp or a flat chord progressions or arpeggios.
Jens, this is SUCH an important concept (u have emphasized this before many times) but the epiphany for me was.. how Jazzy sounds are so brilliantly created with arpeggios where as just playing the scale over these diatonic chords produces a scale like sound. I am guessing that the specificity (of the chord to the arpeggio) plays a role (like u say) but perhaps the larger intervals (that come out naturally from the arpeggios) also contribute to the effect? Thats my 15 cents worth of comments :-). THanks for the video.
Glad you like it! I think that is very true as well: Larger intervals break up the lines and make them more interesting. I actually just shot a video on Jimmy Raney today and that was one of the topics that came up :)
Love insurance lessons. Any time I add the topics to my playing it opens up creativity. I'm still finding uses for shell chords and mix them into my playing. I'm trying to be able to play them fast to were they become rhythmic hits playing with and against the meter
These are the essentail building blocks to soloing and of course your approach can be applied to different chord progressions. It would be good to do another like this in a different key e.g. A, E or G with a jazz blues progression for instance... just an idea! I can play the scales backwards in my sleep and I know all the chords of C scale in several positions, modal playing is okay too but I feel the real route to succeeding is in the application of the appegios - most importantly all played in more or less the same position. I guess what is great is that these can be transposed up or down the neck to change key? I need to fix this step... I will disect your approach with my guitar in my hand:)
Thank you! I have an online course that covers this appraoch but then applied to a Jazz standard, maybe that is something? You can request an invitation here: bit.ly/JazzGtRm
The minor II V I is in some ways much more complicated in terms of scales and sounds required, so it immediately does not really lend itself to a video like this. That said I did make one a few years ago? :)
such a great video! because if you create lines or melodys on this approach, you can really come up with great lines :) also i think, that if you use regular arpeggios as a jazzer, but then add a few altered notes that sounds super jazzy to me 👌🏽
Useful. Particularly appreciated thinking through starting from the third. It made made me think of chord substitutions, Fmaj Bhalf dim to Emin. Would that work for comping?
Thank you! Those substitutions would work, but actually, I wouldn't really consider it chord substitution. But if you try this out with drop2 voicings you get the last examples in this lesson: jenslarsen.nl/jazz-chord-essentials-drop2-voicings-part-2/
@@DESIENASHOES Well, I am not sure if we have progressions that are purely in those scales so it would have to come from another angle. I have a video coming tomorrow on the Minor II V I that is a little different, but covers some of the same ground
@@JensLarsen Thank you Jen. I. Will be buying the sheratonand will replace the pickups with the seymors. I am one of your fairhful followers. Thank you for all the Lessons🎵
very logical. have to really learn these non-metal arpeggios ;) hard part is emphasizing the modes within the one scale (C major), if that's what you call it.
At the beginning of the video, over the chords Dm7 G7 CMaj7 (ii V I), you are playing -I think- Cmaj7 Bdim Em7 arpeggios. Is there a real simple explanation for that?

Yes, maybe also the one with the arpeggios in this list: ruclips.net/video/Ebyc9TrXzy8/видео.html
@@JensLarsen thanks. It goes on the study list too then.
Amazing!!! You are awesome... Now I get it
You're very welcome! Glad you like it!
Great lesson!
Glad you like it! :)
Great lesson.
Glad you like it Dawid!
Very good ..........thanks😮
Welcome 😊
Thanks Jens !
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂
such a great video!
because if you create lines or melodys on this approach, you can really come up with great lines :)
also i think, that if you use regular arpeggios as a jazzer, but then add a few altered notes that sounds super jazzy to me 👌🏽
Thanks! That is indeed the whole point: To make great lines! :)
thank you for this :) really helpful
So helpful!!! Your videos always blow my mind!!! I wonder if you have online lessons?
Thank you very much! I have a WebStore on my website if that is what you mean?
Excellent!
Thank you Dick :)
ผมเพิ่งเข้าใจjazz และเล่นตามคุณ
ผมจะพยายาม
ขอบคุณมาก
Go for it!:)
Excellent! Very helpful. :-)
Glad you like it, Rick 🙂
Useful. Particularly appreciated thinking through starting from the third. It made made me think of chord substitutions, Fmaj Bhalf dim to Emin. Would that work for comping?
Thank you! Those substitutions would work, but actually, I wouldn't really consider it chord substitution. But if you try this out with drop2 voicings you get the last examples in this lesson: jenslarsen.nl/jazz-chord-essentials-drop2-voicings-part-2/
This was a nice fundamental video, something like 1st Semester guitar course in 12 min :-)
Yes, I am going to try to make some more of these :)
Yes cool will be nice to have one also for melodic minor and harmonic minor scales :-)
@@DESIENASHOES Well, I am not sure if we have progressions that are purely in those scales so it would have to come from another angle. I have a video coming tomorrow on the Minor II V I that is a little different, but covers some of the same ground
Very nice video sir. This is great Triad.
This progression learn it to my teacher
Carlton kitto.
Glad you like it and great that you can put it into some music :)
Thank you for the great lesson. Jens, what epihone guitar is good to play Jazz? I like tu buy one. I am a beginner. Thank you🎵
Glad you like the video! I would suggest this guitar ruclips.net/video/bIQiWfeWLA4/видео.html
@@JensLarsen Thank you Jen. I. Will be buying the sheratonand will replace the pickups with the seymors. I am one of your fairhful followers. Thank you for all the Lessons🎵
very logical. have to really learn these non-metal arpeggios ;) hard part is emphasizing the modes within the one scale (C major), if that's what you call it.
Thank you 🙂 Emphasizing the chords, not the modes. Modes are not a part of tonal cadences like this
@@JensLarsen ok...will emphasize the chords.. Thanks.
At the beginning of the video, over the chords Dm7 G7 CMaj7 (ii V I), you are playing -I think- Cmaj7 Bdim Em7 arpeggios. Is there a real simple explanation for that?
Nice lession good
Thank you Roberto :)
@@JensLarsen please to you Jens
