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.

"I actually think it sounds really nice, but it's also the kind of thing that can get you fired really quickly". ❤
This master is the real deal.
Your channel is a cheatcode for songwriters. Incredible knowledge thats easy to understand.
Thank you 🙂
Wealth of information here. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
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.😎
Thank you very much Patrick! :)
This will help plug a major gap in my vocabulary.. you are the best !
Great to hear, David! Go for it 🙂
You sir are the greatest thing to has ever happened to jazz guitar players! Charge on brother!
I had my first jazz gig at 47 last week. Yours is the only channel I'm checking on a regular basis and it is really really amazing. Thank you so much.
Check out Robbie Barnby as well
Lovely Lines!!!👍👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Love these. Thanks Jens.
Great to hear 🙂
Loving the notes / tabs being on the top of the screen. Makes it much easier to pause the video and see what you're talking about.
Chordal Melodies are really good of encompassing many things alike! Awesome work as always!
Thanks RC! :)
@@JensLarsen Cheers!
Wonderful ideas, Jens. Thanks
Beautiful
Thank you 🙂
I wish UA-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! That is really nice of you to say so :)
@@JensLarsen You're quite welcome. Keep up the good work! 👍😎🍺
I AGREE!!!! BUT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE THOSE GIVING A THUMBS DOWN, MAY NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOWN AND UP!🤪
Great lesson Jens! This is just what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
"It's the sort of thing that can get you fired really quickly" As a music theory enthusiast I forget the reality of things and this was a hard reality check. I really appreciated you adding that in as it is something not many music theory UA-camrs talk about.
Great simple ideas that work, your lesson has been studied and incorporated into my playing, thanks Jens
Great to hear 🙂
In the 3rd intro, the change between the 2 Dbmaj7(#11)'s is so suble and pretty. 😊
Thank you sir for your wonderful free video
I’m always learning from u
Beautiful lines. You have always been a great source of inspiration.
This is great stuff man! Thank you
Very very cool, always upload what I need, thanks Mr.Larsen
Great work!
Lucid ,organized and very practical.. Great work !
Wonderful lesson. Thank you Jens.
Great Lesson, exactly what I was looking for,. Many thanks !
Great lesson for people who want to develop their musical information, one more like nearer to a deserved grand.
Thank you very much! Glad you like the video 🙂
just great !
Very timely! Thanks so much.
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.
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.
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?).
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 😜
@@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.
Super lesson. It is going to be fun to experiment with this for other keys. Thanks Lars.
Go for it Richard!
Beautiful, beautiful stuff here! The examples with inner voice movement especially remind me of Barry Harris. I think using pianistic techniques like that are especially cool for guitar! Thanks once again, Jens!
Very cool lesson Jens! I spend/waste? lots of time creating intros for my solo arrangements. I feel like intros are a good space to experiment without being so tied to a song's melody.
good as always
Bravo
It good morning video for me. Thank you so much.
Glad you like it 🙂
Magnifique !!!
Glad you like it 🙂
That was really useful…..thanks a lot 👍🍷
Glad to hear that 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing Jens... Greetings from Madrid...
Glad you like the video, Alejandro!
Love the first one sounded like Johnny Smith, way cool!
Thank you 🙂
very beatiful lesson
Thank you 🙂
putting ads right before the resolution to the tonic, nice touch sir
Gsus loves you!
Really your the Best !
Thank you! 🙂
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?
This is great Jens. Thanks a ton. Would love to see some of these that resolve to minor. Also love to hear your thoughts about endings.
Start with some endings 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/L9mAgQ6VqXo/v-deo.html
Thanks Jens. Love this stuff!
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.
Sorry about the spelling above. I didn't review until after posting.
I wish your videos had been around 40 years ago when I was teaching myself to play. All I had was Micky Bakers Jazz Guitar book. I can play lots of these chords but my music theory knowledge is very poor.
Sounds exactly like my experience. I wish I had those years back but, then again, better late than never. Thanks mostly to Jens' channel, my grasp of theory is increasing, and I've found that my playing has improved in technical terms as a result.
@@Trombonology yes I'm going to really dig deep into Jens videos, so much to learn here. Just wish I had the chance to play jazz with other people, not really an option at the moment.
Muy bueno
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.
Absolutely fantastic. How about another segment resolving to a minor tonic?
Thank you! I will keep that in mind 🙂
Next: ten chord melody choruses you need to know! Aha thanks Jens
Already on Patreon if you are at the Chord Melody level (actually it's close to 40 arrangements I think?)

I use this stuff to make better clean arrangements. My cleans always tend to suck but my death metal / deathcore / Melodic Deathore is spot on, but cleans? Pshh I stink. But these videos have been helping for sure!
Jens, muchas gracias! DbMaj 7 podría pertenecer al modo frigio de la armonía funcional? También al ll Napolitano... Yo pensé ese acorde de la otra forma... Perdona por la pregunta...
Modes are per definition not really functional harmony, so a functional chord doesn't really belong to a mode. Is that what you are asking?
@@JensLarsen Yes Jens... Probably I have thought that DbM7 is llbM7 into Cm frigian.... but sorry for it. I'm going to understund the concept better.
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.

So it's okay to go subdominant after another kind of subdominant, and resolve it to tonic without going to dominant before?
Check songs so that it isn't just theory or a formula. That is how this becomes really useful. Now you are just trying to make it into a soduko 🙂
@@JensLarsen Sudoku is indeed also my hobby though 🤭
NUM BA ONEeeeeeeee
Well done! :D
Isn't the second intro a bit from Night and Day?
Almost, but Cole Porter uses an Fm7 because he has an Eb in the melody 🙂
I get the feeling some of these chords are going to be tough to play on a 25.5" neck...
I think how you sit or stand with the instrument will make much more of a difference
Heb je de nieuwe song van rapper bigidagoe al gehoord? nice lines lol
👌👍💪👏🤘🎶🎵

Jens it looks like you have lost weight, you look very healthy !
Thank you! I think it is mostly color-grading though :D
Snap er geen zak van maar klinkt wel nice
lol 18:30
You talk to much
Do you mean that I talk too much? Could it be that you have trouble with the Language?
@@JensLarsen how could I have trouble with the language if I could tell that you're talkin too much , are you an idiot ?
@@santinodino7736 If you don't get that it may not be me who is an idiot.. 😁
