I am usually here for any new techniques that push my skills ahead-since most of the video is ahead of my skills 🙃Thanks for the videos! I always learn something new.
I personally do use some of these chords/ slightly different variations I do prefer rootless sounds in general, and use full chords as a position marker or as an ending. An important note is to truly play fo the song, and the lesson of playing less is more, takes many years to master! thanks, Jens, beautiful playing.
Jens, your videos may well be the best guitar instructional videos on the internet. I love how "dense" they are in terms of usuable content. I find myself spending hours digesting the rich ideas you include in the span of just a few minutes. For example, in a video on using pentatonic scales just one thing in the video was using the minor pentatonic of the 4th over the dominant chord. That alone has opened up a whole new world in my playing. Anyway, thanks! I've only discovered your videos in the past month or so but I've been recommending them to everyone I know.
Loving you showing your sense of humour more in the videos or it might be just me noticing it more I'm not sure! ANYWAY - point is you're a funny guy and it makes the lessons really engaging
Hi Jens foetical your lesson...which I will check of course and maybe learn something new, or at least learn a strategy which will be helpfull for me...Your theoretical approach and the focus on Harmony and intrinsic relations is exquisit, down to earth & No Nonsense...so!!

Really fantastic stuff, Jens! I picked up Hal Crooks 'How to Comp' a while back but was struggling with making good use of it as it is really geared towards the piano. You have sparked some ideas though that clear up some of the concepts. Thanks!
Always awsome content. Do you have any video (or if not, could you do one) about playing as a duo with a pianist? How to comp when the pianist is playing a solo and all that? Thanks for all the videos
Thank you very much! No I don't have a video like that because it really depends on how the pianist is playing. Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk sound so different that they might as well play different instruments. You can't really lay down rules for that. I do have an old Q&A where I talk a bit about it and a video on comping in a duo demonstrating some different general approaches, but nothing specific that works for all piano players :)
This is great, Jens. I love the sound of the minor ii-V so always a pleasure to shed on it more. I didn't see the link to the Dave Holland concert video. I always find his work a little hard to listen to but like challenging myself. Can you tell me where it is in the description or post a link? Thanks.
Whats the difference between a chord and a 'Jazz Chord'? I have never geard anyone say 'rock chord' or ‘classical chord' or 'pop chord'. Why are jazz chords different
If I don't write Jazz Chords I have people showing up insisting that "Wonderful Tonight" is equal to The 5th symphony of Beethoven or "Wonderwall" is like "Giant Steps" Also: people who look for it can't find it, you need to ask that of all the people who search for "Jazz Chords" on Google and RUclips....
Jens Larsen but a ii V i is not a jazz only thing. You ever heard the beatles or Michael jackson? And if you didnt write jazz chords surely it would have the same views, after all the title or thumbnail doesn’t say jazz chords. Sorry, just seems like jazz elitism to me.
@@georgeeldridge7954 Everything seems like Jazz elitism to you, I am not sure it makes sense to measure by that. Maybe you should go complain on some of the other elitist videos on rock-riffs, blues-solos and funk-grooves?

I need to work on ALL of it. I quit playing for about 20 years, because of work. And I am not working as much, so I am trying to learn more.
I’d say, more like this.
Thank you. I have learned so much from you, as well you've clarified what I didn't quite understand. You are a tremendous gift.
Glad it was helpful!
You have a super precise amount of information on your videos. I love that!
Thank you Pablo! 🙂
One of a kind teacher, brilliant
Thank you 🙂

"Swings like a Gregorian Chant" should be a t-shirt!!!
Haha! Is that really fair on the monks though? :)
I also thought that line was hilarious.
Here to say this. Jens with the zingers 😂

Knowing the ins and outs of the progression sounds so interesting! Really great as always!
Thanks RC!
This is excellent teaching. Thanks Jens!
Glad you think so!

Thanks! 😃
Cracking me up, so early in the morning. Thanks Jens. Best, D
Hi Jens, Great ! Tons of thanks. Masaki from Kobe😃😃😃

Thanks Dave! I did indeed forget the link! I'll fix it right away. That band rules! :)
Sound advice!
Thank you, Jon!
Doing the "easy stuff that sounds good" is essential when you are getting old and still a novice, like me!
Nice one Jens. I really like the sound of snappy chromatic slides to sex up the rhythm.
Hey Mr.Jens I am Currently learning a jazz standard so I got a doubt Do I Just learn The Head OR the whole thing with the solos?
Thanks =)
Start by just learning the melody and the chords by heart :)
so B diminished can be sub into D minor eh
Actually Dm is the upper structure of Bø: B *D F A* 🙃

Jens Larsen just saying that a 7th chord aint a jazz chord, even taylor swift uses them😂😂
