ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- Autumn Leaves is a great way to start improvising following the harmony because it's a well known tune and it still covers a lot of important cadences in a key. In this lesson Iw will go over a set of arpeggios in one position, some exercises, target notes and strategies for making solos where you can hear the harmony in the improvisation.

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.

This dude gives good lessons and loves brown guitars.
Thank you! And I have been told that the technical term is "sunburst" :D
You are correct sir! Thanks for the sense of humor and the great lesson!
I heard about 'em brownnists
@@JensLarsen Tobacco burst?
@@JensLarsen Will a sunburst help my Jazz playing ? Both of mine are white. :>)
I don't think that most people realize how important this lesson is. If I were a high school or college music teacher, this would be a mandatory lesson.
You are a superb teacher.
Why is important? Please I am humbly asking. I only have 1 year of guitar experience
@@stevepadamolou8106 Learning arpeggio note for note, understanding their relationship on the fretboard can hugely improve your improvisation skill when targetting different tone
@@stevepadamolou8106 This lesson is filled with valuable tips on how to play jazz on a beautiful song. Perfect for a newer player! Just be patient with yourself.
That's exactelly what I think too !
Definitely a high impact lesson; and VERY, “practice-able”/accessible. Thanks, again!
This is million dollar lesson for a jazz introduction. Master this song like that even if it takes you a few years... then you can go into jazz guitar further.
Thank you!
Jens Larsen you the best thing that could ever happened to my career. Thank you for taking time out to enlighten my path and journey of guitar playing
Glad that the videos are useful for you! :)
Clarity and precision in teaching doesn't get any better than this. Excellent!
Thank you Michael! I am glad you found it useful! 👍
Hi Jens
Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this lesson. My understanding of jazz isn’t advanced therefore when I find a lesson that suits my needs I spend many many weeks analysing the detail and learning the lesson. I find I progress better if I fully understand everything before moving on. I have spent many weeks already on this lesson and will spend many weeks more. I have built backing tracks on GarageBand and then play arpeggios over the top, I love the sound. Yet so much more to learn before I move on. I find this true of all your videos, there is so much information and therefore so much enjoyment but I can’t keep up with all your videos therefore I select the ones that seem to fit where I am at the moment and study them. Thanks very much, so much of my understanding of jazz has come from your tuition.
This instruction is so helpful. Beginning with selection of a key, through these chord changes, in a tune that all guitarists should know - it's just beyond anything else for jazz guitarists available on the Internet. Jens: You are helping guitarists everywhere. Thank you!
Thank you Jens ...can I just say as a trumpet player I have learned more about jazz from you than any other jazz teacher out there! 👏🙏
one of the best teachers i know on youtube. One lesson (as a beginner) can take me months to learn.
Purchased the solo lesson a few days a go. Excellent. I feel like a Jazz cat now.
Thank you Atalay! It makes my day to hear that you like the WebStore lesson as well!!
one of the best teachers around. with tabs iv learned so much from this guy.
I truly have learned so much from this one lesson. Your the man! thanks Jens
You're very welcome Matthew! Glad to hear that you put the stuff to use!!
I love how you connect the melody and the harmony to the chords. As I said in a previous comment, you have opened my eyes to a whole new world. Your lessons are amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much! Happy new year 🙂
Jens, what a way to begin my Sunday morning, I saved this video awhile back, but until today I had a chance to check it out. Thanks, so well explained, like everything that you teach.
Thank you very much Jens!! You helped me to understand the importance of arpeggios for improvisation. I love Jazz but I'm a beginner even if I know the basics of harmony. These lessons are pure gold for me.
Again thank you!!
Great lesson! Clear information, comprehensive! According to me you're one of the best teachers on the web.
This is probably the best Jazz improvisation lesson ever. Thanks a lot, I am playing a lot better now. Greetings from Brazil.
Jens can’t thank you enough for your excellent lessons, you’re one of the best guitar teachers on TH-cam. I’ve learned so much from your videos.
Glad they are useful!
Jens,
I have said before and will say again that you have wonderful teaching, improvising and performance skills. You also are very kind to share these with TH-cam folk like me and many others. I wish you all the best in your future.
Regards,
David
I don't have any question, this lesson it has too much work to do , un My level of knowledge it's enough for practicing , thanks Mr. Jens Larsen
Thank you for teaching these jazz lessons. I’m a beginner guitar player and really love the sound of your music. It is awesome to be able to learn from you !
Your videos are the greatest treasure on TH-cam Jens. I'm working back through some of the older ones. Really enjoying your book too. Thanks
Thank you Frank! I am really glad to hear that!
All I can say is... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Glad you found it useful 🙂
The Autumn Leaves with Arpeggios was amazingly helpful. I have a lot of work to do.
Go for it :)
Probably the best lesson for jazz I’ve seen so far. Thank you 🙏🏾
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂
I've finally challenged myself to do this arpeggio connection exercise! It is bloody difficult, but it is proving to be the master key that you say it is (not that I doubted you). Really great way to really learn the fretboard.
It is indeed really tricky, but it also really opens up stuff :)
Thank you very much, you're the best teacher ever.
Thank you Jens, I had my first guitar lesson (after 30 years of playing!) yesterday and my teacher suggested exactly the same thing as you do here - connecting arpeggios together and created something musical. Wish I knew this stuff 30 years ago... :)
+Stefan McNamara That's great Stefan! Good luck with the jazz journey! It's very true that I can't take credit for coming up with improvising with arpeggios 😊
You are an incredible instructor Jens, and by far the best I've encountered. This is amazing stuff, and I can't thank you enough....!
Great to hear! Thanks Paul!
Thank you for a great lesson, Jens. Your breakdowns of the arpeggios, especially how you're not always starting from the root, have really helped me to open up my playing. Cheers ;)
I need to say Thanks!! It's the first time that I understad jazz soloing !! I'll KEEP seeing you videos!
You're very welcome Andres! I hope you find something you can use! 🙂
God bless you Jens.
You're a fabulous teacher. Bravo!
Great lesson. It actually put me in the right direction. I had no idea what to do but now I do.
This lesson made a great difference in my comprehension!!!
What a timely lesson this is for me. I have been struggling through some challenging chord arpeggio exercises and this is so much more clear and useful. And a song I have already played dozens of times on gigs and not done justice to the solo.( playing by ear at the time...) Thanks Jens.
Glad it is useful! 😁
Jens! That second exercise of connecting the arpeggios (nearest note) just blew me away. OMG! I get it now. A light bulb just went on over my head. That's it. You just took me to the next level of improvising. THANK YOU!
You're very welcome Mike! I am glad you like it! 🙂
pure gold lesson!
Sir Larsen, it's good you are doing these great jazz tutorials for both and regular jazz plays who the upcoming musicians who are trying to get a grip on the theory, keep these videos coming, maan its all great stuff1
Thank you Leslie thomas! 🙂
This is perfect! This is the best way to break down a tune in my experience. Thanks Jens
Glad it was useful!
I've learned so much just from this one video! Keep it going Mr. Larsen
Thank you you, Emilio. I am glad you found it useful
Great lesson you. I like the way you break this song down. I really enjoyed this lesson
This video pulled a lot together from some of your previous lessons and made them very clear. Really good. Thanks again for all of this fantastic instruction.
One thing I had to sort of bring out by watching again was that the target note is on the new chord in each case. That didn't become obvious to me until I watched this video.
You're very welcome Dan! It's true target notes are so great for learning to play changes in a good way.
Genio total.muchas gracias por compartir todo ese conocimiento.
Many thanks for sharing with us this wonderful lesson!!!
Your style of teaching really captivates.... especially exploring the arpeggios in a small confinement.... Cheers keep inspiring...!
Thank you! I am very happy to hear that! 🙂
Thank you Jens, this is a great lesson
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it!
Jens, thank you so much for the great video. You really understand what it takes to be a great teacher!

Glad you found it useful Jesse!
Absolultly brilllllliant expose' on fundamentals. Rock solid! Many thanks Jens. Please keep 'em coming.
Glad you like it Joseph! :)
Great video Jens. I have really enjoyed a lot of your videos and they have helped me immensely filling in some gaps in my playing such as showing me voicings for diatonic seventh chords on the low E and A strings. These types of videos are a great insight into how to think about playing over changes. Thanks again.
You're very welcome John! I am glad you like the videos and can use the stuff I go over!
This is excellent Jens - about a years work for me in this thank you.
This is what i looking for.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Jens. You have given me knowledge and also inspiration. Cheers! Michael
Glad to hear that Michael 👍🙂
Third lesson I've watched of yours. I'm hooked! Thanks for a great channel!
thank you very much for this, im a rock n roll guy, i learned 1 or 2 jazz songs....i go to Japan, i met a great jazz piano player, we become friends..she wants to play with me, she said she loves to play this song, ive never heard it before..so i researched it, i found the chords in this key, wanted to learn to solo over it when i play with her.....this lesson is so awesome ! and will help me so much, GREAT LESSON ! wish me luck..keep on rockin, or should say, keep on jazzin my brother in music...MICHAEL
Go for it! :)
What a great teacher! Thanks Jens!
You're very welcome! Glad you found it useful 🙂
Let me know if you have any ideas for topics or other questions! 👍
Great teacher! Normally I don't like too much talking, but Jens is well worth listening to. Thanks!
Thank you Paul! Glad you can still sit through the talking 🙂
Thanks for another great lesson; I always find your videos clear, relevant and inspiring!
Thank you Greg! Glad to hear it!
If you are looking to get started with Jazz then these videos are helpful: th-cam.com/video/5hmSQuMIf-w/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for a terrific lesson Jens. I’m just starting to learn about playing jazz and this is going to help me immensely. I’ve been practicing arpeggios but did not know how to start using them. Your lesson gives me a great starting point.
Cheers!
You're very welcome! Go for it!
This is awesome Jens , great lesson , always learn a lot from your lessons , Love it !!!
Thank you! That is great to hear!
Thank you for the amazing video
Loved that lesson. An oldie but a goodie
Thank you, Rene!
The poem analogy says it all for me, as a pretty average blues rock player I struggle with sounding jazzy but this advice of breaking it down into tiny flexibly useable nuggets is really helpful. Thanks!
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful 🙂 Let me know if you are looking for something on the channel, maybe I can point you in the right direction
Paul , I am with you on this.Very useful lessons. Thanks, Jens.
Excellent song with an excellent teacher! Great instructions and very clear and concise!
