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.

@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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
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 😊
i am a new subscriber and this is the first video i chose to do of Jens Larsen and not only does he have it available in tab there is a labrynth of learning here where as a metal playing guitarist there is no telling where i will end up. I have taken lessons from over 5 instructors over a 30 years and i am ready to enjoy the journey but it takes practice, practice, practice :)
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
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.
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.
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!
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 !
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!
Tnx lot jens. Iv been playing and practicing for 4 year without any good feedback! !!!!! Litl by litl m feeling somthing is coming to a cross!!!!and thats just becuse of ur ........ . Tnx tnx tnx
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 ;)
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!
Great tip about resolving to the 3rd or 5th. I always hear people say to use the guide tones (3, 7), but resolving to the 7th often sounds weak. Even as a piano player there's still lots of great stuff in these videos. Thanks!
Thank you Lucas! I think it's weird that people never talk about the 7th being a somewhat weak target note. It's great that you as a piano player checked it out! Did you check out more of my videos? (I am just curious...)
That's very cool! Thanks for letting me know! If you want to help me then you can share one of my videos that you like and help me spread the word with your recommendation 😊
Great lesson Jens! I'm a new subscriber and enjoy the lessons immensely. You present in a clear and concise way making the material easier to digest. Thank you! Definitely the best TH-cam instructor!
1 thing I found difficult when I began to study jazz was the overwhelming amount of options chords voicing etc you have helped make that struggle a lot simpler. Thx
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
By far the best entry door into the universe of jazz soloing, methinks Pedal to the metal Nail on the head Thanks Jens! Off topic: unable to make a 1 time donation to the cause on patreon Perhaps a “tip jar” would be a good idea? Cheers
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.
This is actually a good lesson. I was wondering how to get into playing over the changes systematically. Thanks a lot. Maybe you should redo this one in higher quality and in a more organize fashion like you do now. Great lesson. Thanks.

Why is important? Please I am humbly asking. I only have 1 year of guitar experience

Definitely a high impact lesson; and VERY, “practice-able”/accessible. Thanks, again!
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. :>)
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! 👍
one of the best teachers i know on youtube. One lesson (as a beginner) can take me months to learn.

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! 👏🙏
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!!
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!

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!!
All I can say is... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Glad you found it useful 🙂
Probably the best lesson for jazz I’ve seen so far. Thank you 🙏🏾

It is indeed really tricky, but it also really opens up stuff :)
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!
This is probably the best Jazz improvisation lesson ever. Thanks a lot, I am playing a lot better now. Greetings from Brazil.
The Autumn Leaves with Arpeggios was amazingly helpful. I have a lot of work to do.
Go for it :)
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

You're very welcome Dan! It's true target notes are so great for learning to play changes in a good way.
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 Paul! Glad you can still sit through the talking 🙂
