4 years and 0 dislikes. Probably because you're an amazing teacher that allows education to be free like it should be:) thank you for the video. It's not too flashy like the other videos ive seen of other's and it's right in my range to understand what I should do next:)

There's some really nice melodies you have in this improv. Quality work

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks man! Glad you like it!

[@joerimland]

The melodies fit really nicely with the Satin Doll melody!

[@JensLarsen]

Joe Rimland I think you will find that with most standards that you know the melody of if you try.

[@joerimland]

I thought that would be the case. Now I know another reason to learn the melody of a standard. 😀

[@JensLarsen]

Joe Rimland Very true! :)

[@MecchaKakkoi]

Cool idea. Some great little lines popping out of there.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! :)

Hey Jens, not sure if you answered this question before and i didnt see it.
But do you know how the chords fit together in every piece you play? Like "this chord fits to this cause its the substitute dominant.. this fits to this cause its..." or doesnt it matter so much?
Nice Impro! I think its pretty tricky to play a pentatonic in jazz style! :)

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you!
I guess I know that most of the time. Mostly there are not really any substitutions involved btw :)

[@joserodolf7473]

Hola qué que modeo de guitarra es esa ibanez?

[@bokopiiti2275]

[@JensLarsen]

Thx!

[@michaelrich7918]

Beautiful.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you Michael! :) I was about to e-mail you btw...

[@michaelrich7918]

Fire away...

[@JensLarsen]

It's coming, I forgot to actually send it...

[@edudzzaj]

This sounds nice and Scofield-y :)

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you Stian! I wonder who that says more about? :D

[@edudzzaj]

Jens Larsen Maybe it's the Ibanez and crunchy tone. Pull the bottom E string off the fretboard a little bit? jk ;) I like some of Sco stuff though, it kinda has that laid back vibe :)

[@edudzzaj]

Thanks for the heads up on "drum genius" by the way, really nice for practising over. Metronomes get boring, and iRealB midi drums just don't swing... (although that's a great app too)

[@JensLarsen]

Stian Høyberg If the metronome is boring then you are not making it swing hard enough! ;)
You should btw try to move it to dotted quarter notes or half note triplets for a bigger challenge!

[@edudzzaj]

A metronome is a good tool, and good for exercises. But the monotonous clicking is uninspiring and I much prefer to play over drums.
