Just want to say Thanks for all you do. I was pointed here by Signals Music Studio and am glad I found this channel. Much like Jake, you have a really talent for getting a lesson across to a learner. Keep it up.
different origins- algorithm from French of "Arabic computation" vaguely transliteration from Arabic. Rhythm is old English from a weird mix of French, Latin and Greek. Was often rime in the past and I wish it had stayed that way.
right, knowing the progressions like 2, 5, 1 and playing accidentals or playing outside ( 1/2 steps ) going back into the chord, is easy and fun. it builds tension / release. my technique,is playing the chord at the same time humming the short phrase. then experiment by injecting different accents on /off the beat. also using all alterations and embellishments that you need. try it and see if it works for you, have fun.
Do you have a video or worksheets of working on spread /shell voicing and putting it all together as an exercise? I’ve been working through spread and she’ll voicing going up and down the fret on strings 6,5 and 4 as well as adding them to some songs I play but I’d like to go a bit deeper and really get it down. Thanks. Looking forward to a link.
Maybe it's just me, but the horizontal lines of the staff, being light gray, are hard to see, making it hard to distinguish notes on the staff. Anyone else experiencing this?
Perfect for later, I am improving my regime in Minecraft. I am working my slaves to death and making them start families with their siblings and parents. North Korea is a haven compared to my cave I have trapped about 15 innocent people in. I feed some to zombies then cure them to get discounts.
Learning chord voicings, scales and arpeggios are very challenging, but phrasing is by greatest hurdle. All my solos sound the same. So these video lessons on phrasing have been solid gold for me. Thank you again!
This video is very insightful. I believe it could be very helpful if added to chapter 8 of the guitar roadmap course, at least as an outside link to which refer to for more material on the matter. I'm a student though so... I know nothing, Jon Snow!!! :)
This is great to try out on other instruments too. You suggest to experiment with this block: b3 - 4 - b2 - 2, so c - d - bb - b in A minor, and when I try, it seemed to me that I can do the lick on any degree of a given scale going up or down the neck, but in the end it won't really work on every degree - And somehow I am not really able to trust my ears. Would you mind to give us a hint? My example is a Fm7 - Bb7 Vamp, so it is dorian-mixo, but always in Eb.
Very interesting ideas, and thanks for the listening suggestions in each video. I have appreciating and trying to ear train on midnight blue since the last video :)
To me meat is the arpeggios and potatoes is the phrasing and scales are just the sauce 😂 you can play all the hip notes and will sound bad without phrasing, you said something similar. I only use like 3 or 4 scales and I see major and natural minor as the same depending over what I'm playing over, however I rely on arpeggios and chord tones to improvise I use chromatics, scales just to add runs sometimes. Thanks for your videos.
jens! thanks as always, I am studying jazz again since 2 years now and I can even put in words how much I learnt from your channel! so thank you very much!
Really glad to hear that! :) It is difficult to give too specific advice because everybody is different and at different levels, but maybe check out this post: jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-jazz-guitar-suggestions-to-begin-studying/
Great lesson (as usual :) ). Could you make a video about chords, types, rules of creation, with explanations of differences, e.g. mol / major / sus / aug with mathematical-looking notations, notation or more advanced terms such as inversion? Could you also prepare a video (or maybe you are planning to write an e-book) about the most important chords and chords every guitarist should know plus chords useful for or preferred by jazzmen? It is enough to move many chords (I mean voicings) in a different key on the fretboard, for example, and here the matter is simple, but it is not always the case. By writing this suggestion and question, I mean guitarists - amateurs for whom the language must naturally be different than for professional guitarists. Ofc "Like" + "Sub". Regards! :) P.S. Sorry for possible English mistakes, it's not my native language
Thank you! I wouldn't really focus too much on chord categories, but instead learn some basic voicings and hear them in a song. You want to make music, not equations after all. I guess this describes how I think you should learn: jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-to-play-jazz-chords-study-guide/
Do you have any thoughts on the idea of ignoring the II and just playing over the V leading to the I when creating phrases? I understand that it works but i can't tell if it's a more limiting or freeing approach. Would be interested in what your thought are.
That depends on the context. Maybe check out this video: th-cam.com/video/3iv6WJDeSjI/w-d-xo.html And this video: th-cam.com/video/8Lx926gI1QM/w-d-xo.html
Really great treatment of an elusive topic, Jens! I was curious about how to think about directional change - enclosure vs Barry Harris half step rules - all of the above?
@@JensLarsen sorry... the jazzy changes of direction... One way is with enclosures as you show. Another way is scale runs with chormatics using Barry Harris rules going to the scale tone above when there is no half step to be added (e to f for example), which seems to only work for certain scale tones, and seems to work differently up and down the scale in terms of enclosures. Do I either play chormatic scale runs OR enclosures, or combine both. Does that question make sense?
@@benkatof4240 It is not the kind of thing you can tie down to a simple rule. Octave displacement does this as well, but that is clearly not Barry's half step rules. And his half step rules are actually pretty open :)
Arpeggios are definitely the chunky meaty 🥩 bits that define the meal and scales are the carby 🥔 potatoes that hold everything together. Just my humble expert opinion.

for beginning rock players, just adding approach notes and enclosiers to a pentatonic scale is a good start.
@Lujack Shaw LOL, that's good ..... lol.
love it !
that accent of the 2nd note of the triplet a game changer
Just want to say Thanks for all you do. I was pointed here by Signals Music Studio and am glad I found this channel. Much like Jake, you have a really talent for getting a lesson across to a learner. Keep it up.
Glad you think so! Jake is indeed a great teacher!
Little secrets of great masters.
Those are the best ones 🙂👍
Just adding to the algorithm (while wondering why _algorithm_ is spelt with an "i", not a "y" as in _rhythm)._
Thanks! I don't know either :D

Jen, can I get a link to patreon with Charlie Parker's solo analysis you spoke about?
Certainly! :) www.patreon.com/posts/55051510
Do you write down those licks or just improvise with them until you know what you are doing?
You can do both, but maybe stået by writing them down and then later just mess around with them 🙂
Cheers Jens, another really beneficial lesson - love the Gordon Ramsey cameo as well 😂👏🏻😅 thanks 👍🏼
Great! Thanks Tom!
Great Tips! Thanks
Thank you, Jess 🙂

You are such a great teacher I'm learning a lot about guitar from you
Happy to hear that!
My favorite part of all your lessons is when you say "that could be something like this". Pure magic every time Jens. Thank you
My pleasure! 😄
Thanks Jens, please do the Charlie Parker video.
Glad you like it! I think I am talking about this video: th-cam.com/video/L_fhwdcXzr4/w-d-xo.html (and otherwise it is one of the other ones 🙂)

I'm a vegetarian, man. Thre's no meat in there. All I see is potato and broccoli ;-)
Beautiful share my friend! Fantastic video, amazing guitar experience, great music talent!
Have a nice Sunday to you!
Thank you very much Lisa! Hope you had a great Sunday too
Grant Green is the master at this chord tone trills on guitar...must have learned it from Parker.
Yes, I think that is where he got it 🙂
Nice. Only need major scale :)
Exactly! 🙂
please do a lesson or two on bebop rhythm, i mean the way its phrased is very distinctive. it called bebop for a reason after all.
I think I cover most of it in this video? th-cam.com/video/zHmTWeWgZAI/w-d-xo.html
@@JensLarsen wow - I even commented as much on that video. thank you for reminding me

Glad you like it Stefano! I think I would rather keep the Roadmap a very compact set of lessons and not add things that don't connect 100% :)
I always find your videos helpful and enjoyable. Thank you. All the best.
Glad to hear that!
Jens, a video about Bird phrases for guitar would be fantastic. Thanks for your help!!!

Like Bach's motives. Good!!
Yes indeed!
