"you can`t really do all the diferent permutations, you should look for thing you like and experiment with it" ... Great advice Jens... A lot of times we spend a lot of time trying to know every single posibility but sometimes we need to really focus in one thing and do it well
Very good lesson as always. I've heard Joe Diorio mention in 1 of his videos... all these chord shapes we've become familiar with can be applied into our single note lines/arpeggios. "They're our friends" as he puts it :-) I've been playing around with these out of their consecutive string order too. Instead of picking say strings 5,4,3,2, I'll switch it up to say 5,3,4,2 etc. Hope your cold clears up soon... just got over one myself.
Dear Jens Great lesson, thank you very much. I kindly would like to correct one voicing at 5:11, in D7(#9b13) second inversion. Bb shown as B natural in the tab. You play correct voicing but in the chart it should be corrected i think. Best regards
Another great lesson - thanks Jens! I find drop 2 chords as a subject useful, as they are a good alternative to closed chords when it comes to stretch. I am also interested in chord construction and understanding modes and the wonderful harmonies that can be created, so anything to enrich these areas would be welcome for me! Thanks again - hope your cold gets better soon.
+Jude Jackson Thank you Jude! I actually is planning a lesson on building chord voicings but it might not be exactly what you are talking about. To me the key to understanding modes was to have an idea how they sound, so both a chord and a sort of melody that emphasizes the sound of the mode.
+Jens Larsen Well, I picked up guitar playing again just over a year ago, after a very long hiatus. I chose jazz because I thought this would be a good way to get into music theory, since I am self taught, and I like jazz music, particularly Charlie Parker and Coltrane, but I am also discovering some interesting modern guitarists like Ben Monder. I also have some time now since I am not working, so this is a good discipline. I want to explore chord sounds beyond regular guitar playing, (I love the harmonic minor sounds!), and I figured that if I learned modes as well as scales these would be a good framework to build theory on. I needed to start somewhere! But all of your videos are useful, because they focus on the right amount of information to do something with. Anyway, thanks again.
+Jude Jackson Great! Quite a broad spectrum from Parker to Monder (Though it sits well with my own taste actually..) You might have more out of learning numerical analysis and functional theory for playing standards. In that way you can apply that to standards and take different kind of voicings through the songs.
+Jens Larsen Well with album names like "Flux" and "Dust", you know there's something interesting happening. Seems to be in touch with the zeitgeist anyway!
Really nice lesson -- should work well with finger-picking technique. Also moving in chromatic patterns up and down with the altered voicings could be exciting, something to explore.
+Jens Larsen -- Oh, what I meant is that by starting with one of the shapes you could move up or down by moving one or two notes at a time and repeat the motion -- not so much a ii - V - I , more of a stepwise "walk" -- I have struggled to get smooth with shapes as blocks of chords but the arpeggio technique is really interesting. Thanks!
Rob theQuiet Ok. eh.. I still don't really follow what you mean, you want to change one note in the arpeggio and then play it again? I guess it's melodic voice-leading? Maybe you should make a video as an example? :)

Thanks, Jorge! It is indeed important not to get lost in stuff like that. I think I got it from a Scofield interview 🙂
Get well soon. Always enjoy the videos, thanks for a fresh approach to a familiar topic!
Thanks! I am better already. Glad that you like the lesson !
excellent
Thank you 🙂
Enjoyable, useful and informative ideas. Thanks!
You're welcome Stewart!
Very cool. Awesome lesson yet again man!
+Drew De La Cruz Thank you Drew! That's great to hear!! :)

Thanks man! Cold is already a lot better. Switching the note order can indeed be very useful
Is there a video & booklet I can purchase where ?
Great teaching
Merci beaucoup Jens.
Dear Jens

+Sami Gündoğdu Thanks Sami! I can't really fix it in the video but I will change it in the article and the pdf :)

+Jude Jackson Did you try to listen to Kurt Rosenwinkel and GIlad Hekselman?
awesome as always ,sir :)
+wawawa Guitarist Shouta Thanks Shouta!

Yeah hybrid or finger picking could be a solution.
Moving in chromatic patterns? Not sure I follow that

does this Idea in your Book method ?
It is shortly appearing in one chapter, but not taking up a lot of space :)
Cmaj7 is 8 10 9 9
I think there's a typo in there. Example 4 It says G but it's Bflat. That sounds really nice though
