    PROFESSOR LARSEN!! Thanks SO much for presenting this DELICIOUS SMORGASBORD of tasty musical formulas!!
    These "SCIENTIFIC CHEMICALS" are by far one of your best presentations for those of us hungry for the richness of the sound of nutrition!!! A healthy dosage of new ingredients to incorporate into our batch of delectable delights!!! Notewise that is.... The cool part about it, is that all of this cuisine, is within reach!!!! No extensive dexterity or extreme flexibility is required !!!!
    Those of us who have an appetite for versatility, and are familiar with the motion of the movements, can come to the table and present a dish worthy enough to satisfy the most seasoned "CULINARY AFICIONADOS"!! Jens?... in my opinion?.. YOU are the best chef out there!!! Thanks AGAIN!!!!
    ...for serving up the goods.😎

    Jens - An amazing lesson. Thank you. In fact it made me look into this Patreon thingy. I routinely bore my friends with a rant on the new knowledge exchange paradigm that your UTube channel so clearly demonstrates. As a retired University Professor, I have come to believe that educational 'systems' need to be changed so that people are enabled with how to learn, rather than focusing on rote fact memorization. The googleization of human knowledge, and the near-complete removal of a need for 'bricks and mortar' educational institutions, has created a tsunami of new 'free' educational opportunities. For example, your channel, that freely distributes VERY high level guitar instruction has 250K subscribers! The outstanding educators like yourself rise to web-awareness through likes and views - if the content is great people (like myself) will view. We need a revolution in higher education accessibility and quality. But the transition will be painful. What does a channel like yours mean, for example, to The Berkeley College of Music and other monolithic educational enterprises. Interesting times. If you are going to learn First Year Calculus, there is no need to pay an institution $1000 to sit in a room with 500 other students and learn something has hasn't changed since Newton.

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you very much Eric! Glad you like the videos.
      I do think that it is very interesting how both education and music is changing and the way you access information and learn with it. I do see some schools also starting to use online teaching aswell, both for teaching and PR:
      For music I would say that not being in a group of students and learning also by playing with other students makes it difficult to learn, at least that was my experience.

    • @adhoc37
      @adhoc37 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eric: I think you're right - my kids are at secondary school and the institution hasn't a clue what they're doing. Berkeley, California, has, interestingly, given its location, been caught on the hop. Berklee, other side of the US, has a busy schedule of online learning for which there appear to be lots of applicants. I recently participated in a terrific online session with various of their professors contributing from their homes. It was great to see where these guys practise when they're not in class and it was a hugely stimulating, educational, enjoyable and unscripted couple of hours. They were a knowledgeable, talented, and modest lot passionate about what they do.
      Yep, Jens is lighting up the runway for this new quasi-autodidacticism (well, what would you call it?).

    • @HeadbangoO
      @HeadbangoO 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's partly true. Teachers still need to make a living, so whether you count on their kindness to give free knowledge and they have a side-job, or they give partial lessons and you have to pay to get the full pack. When money doesn't exist anymore, sure it could be free for all 😜

    • @adhoc37
      @adhoc37 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@HeadbangoO I don't think anyone was suggesting this would be free - far from it. The quality of online education today can be excellent and this should be paid for. A teacher wouldn't need to be remunerated by 30 people but could find 30k+ to pay their salary and even, dare I suggest it, become rich. Instead of being the lowest paid in our society they would become one of the highest paid along with the reputation that goes with that. Sadly, reputation is still mainly about money.

    I like the way you are doing the Dbmaj7(#11) using 4 fingers across. Many players incorporate the thumbs and zi have never practicing using the thumb method enough fornit to become natural to me. This chord is relatively novel to me and the 4 finger actuation of it is working for me. Thanks for the cool collection of intros and the accompanying discussion.

    Phenomenal video. Love how with your vids you can take really as much as you want, a little just learning what you played, or really analyzing the harmony and voice leading in depth. That being said, what was the missing part fom example #2? Was it the Minor 2-5 variation?

  • @franjohnst
    @franjohnst 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    First let me join others in giving you a big THANK YOU for your generosity and skills , and for providing much inspiration. Though this video I discovered among other things how to use the index finger to play the root at the bottom and the ∆7th on top at the same time, very clever... I had taken jazz theory in college a long time ago and I must say that your work is very helpful to put ideas into practice, which can be a missing link in some cases. Let me take a guess about the MISSING CHORD on progression #2 : could it be Bø ?
    There are of course enough chords there as it is (Vll ø may be used as a link between the III and the IV chords to provide a strong root motion). Thanks again from Vancouver Canada.

    I wish TH-cam had a filter for all the people that put a thumbs down. So they would have to explain why. There is literally nothing to give this video a thumbs down for. If you don't understand something that's not a good enough reason. if you're not as advanced on the instrument and don't understand it or can't play it that's not a reason either. You can just look at the video and walk away, but there is literally nothing in this video that warrants a thumbs down.

    Thank you so much for this Jens, because intros seem to be a lost art where i live. Using the last "A" section of the tune is just so uncreative and does not set the tune up. Especially on a ballad. Maybe you could talk about endings also. The ending being important because it is the last thing the people hear.
