  • Scale Exercises are the source of a lot of problems, I certainly remember this from when I was getting started with Jazz, but there are some great exercises that can really make it a lot easier. These 5 did that for me, and one of them is also a powerful and practical way to build fretboard overview.

    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.

    Here’s a scale exercise I dreamed up recently. Play your scales & arpeggios, but never play on the beat. First just play the eighth note between quarters, then all the permutations of one, two, or three sixteenths and triplets between beats. I find it difficult, especially at faster tempos, not to drift toward playing on the beat. I definitely need the metronome for this! Thoughts?
    (P.S.: I’m new to jazz, so forgive me if this is something everyone already does)

    You have a really good learning concept! This helps me a lot. Question: I do something I would call quarter arpeggios (going up in 4ths than in 3rds). Do you also consider that?

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you! Diatonic quartal arpeggios? Sure I practice those as well, but they are less common in Jazz. Often they make more sense in connection with superimposed pentatonics

    Can someone explain what a pivot arpeggio is? He sort of explained it quickly in another video but I didn't get what he meant. Something about changing octaves?

  • @giratin7801
    @giratin7801 Год назад +1

    When it comes to your 3rd exercise, I'm having difficulty on understanding the shell voicing system and how you find that from the notes in a scale, if you could help me learn how to find those shapes that would be great!

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  Год назад

  • @xxczerxx
    @xxczerxx Год назад +1

    Excellent! I never could improvise until I discovered BH. This video crystallizes so many great concepts.
    Jens do you find Barry's approach to minor II-V movement a more useful way to play than the "standard" way?
    Maybe I don't apply it right but partially playing one dominant (the VII in minor) then switching to another dominant (V) is really hard to pull off.
    It's the one part of Barry's method I could never really get my head around!

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  Год назад

      Thanks! I always felt more comfortable being able to play the changes that I heard, so I took that thing as a shortcut for a scale exercise and then I just played the changes.

  • @markfreemantle7608
    @markfreemantle7608 Год назад +1

    Jens, @3:56 you define the 4 note diatonic arpeggio as a Cmaj7, starting on the 5th of Dm7 chord.
    I see this as an Am7. The E notes fits into the Dm7 as a 9th but how does the G fit? Or, if I look at is as a Cmaj7, how does the A fit?
    On the next arpeggio, the Bm7b5, the 4 notes are an exact fit to that chord, being R, b3, b5, b7. And, as applied to the main chord, the G7, even the A fits as the 9th.
    Do I need to identify the new arpeggio or just start on a 3rd, 5th or 7th of the defined chord and just arpeggiate a new chord from that note?
    Mark

      I feel that calling that a diss is stretching it. But I do find that he managed to make things a lot more complicated than they are and confuse a lot of people with that video, and I am sure he can handle a subtle stab at that.
