Thank you!!! That is great to hear! These videos on rhythm always do badly on UA-cam (this is until now no exception), but I find it important so I keep making them every now and again :)
@@JensLarsen a lot of Jazz Universities don't expect students to be able to comp on exams (especially on guitar, surprisingly) not to mention how we have to struggle against pianists too. Might be a stupid guess but I do believe a lot of youngsters seeking to apply to uni watch your videos and so do their teachers - and if the exam requires you to just solo over a backing track then improv videos will have the most views. This was a great video, especially that you can mix some of these rhythms and then make a loop yourself if you're not yet a jazz-man who can comp on the fly.
@@Marunius I can't imagine that any semi-serious university has people improvise over backing tracks in exams? At least not for Jazz. In the end, you learn comping when you play in a band.
Welcome to Poland^^ That's how the Gdańsk Music Academy Jazz exam looks like. They ask you to hook up irealpro and play a solo. This is just one example that I can atest to because I have been a student there but I am highly certain many other universities in Europe have a similar entry exam for Bachelor level especially when you consider there are no Jazz oriented middle schools, only classical at best.
The rhythm written before the actual chords makes this an awesomess of lesson. Since you can generalize it and used them in other situations. Having a rhythm vocabulary like that is as important as having a lick or substitution vocabulary. A second part on this lesson woul be so nice. Like aplying all these 10 rhythms to a standard. Thanks for another superb lesson.
Yeah, this is one of my favorite lessons of yours because it deals with the most important part of this music in a fundamental and systematic way. With gratitude thanks
I play for many years, I can play pieces of bebop, melodies, but I dont know how to read sheet music. I must say with this video, I start to learn the first two rythms, stop the video, sing it, and then the next two, and start again from the 1. In this process I have begun to feel different spaces in my brain. How a rythm fill in the diferent spaces. After this I wrote every rythm and I put when the note falls in the 3 or 4 or anticipe 1. At the end of this work, I know how to read rythm (basics). Thank you, Larsen!
A simply great lesson to learn and master a handful of essential rhythms. I printed the pdf for the lesson, put it in my practice binder, and plan to play along with the video until I mater the rhythms. Jens, it was your comment about playing along with the video that made it easy.
Learning with a minimum of supervision I'm so weak with understanding syncopation of rythm, and how valuable this is. Lots of focus on chords, structure and rythm but this focus on syncated beat is a real kicker. Gggrrreeeat!!!
Jens this is really good. Because the quarter note anchors the tempo so clearly that it locks the rhythm section into the tempo so it does not rush or slow down. If the situation is a gig with guys who have not worked together before and no rehearsal, strange acoustics etc. The 2 bar rhythmic figure makes it easy to swing. After that is established, then everybody can start the adventure!
Once again I find myself enjoying how your guitar lessons teach me to play jazz keyboard. But I promise I will stay away from the rhythm guitar -- give him lots of fresh air! Thanks, Jens -- your videos always hit the spot.
This has been the most helpful and influencial video to my comping, thank you. Whenever i get distracted and all over the place i try to focus on these rythms
Terrific video as always. Whenever a new video is posted, I know there is a good chance my practice schedule will be changed because I will want to try out the things you're showing! In answer to your question at the end: Yes! Rhythm videos are always welcome. I am an advanced classical guitar player, but a very novice jazz player and what I am discovering about myself is that the more solid my rhythm playing is on a song, the better I'm able to take a solo when my turn comes. Keep up the great work!
Hi Jens, I just wanted to share with you that I've been a bluegrass and western swing banjo player for 25 years, but now I'm taking my jazz banjo playing and my study of theory more seriously. I LOVE your videos. You set everything out so clearly, and I'm really enjoying adapting it to the banjo. Cheers, Gretchen
Thank you very much Gretchen! Ironically, I hope to one day have a bit more time to check out some real bluegrass playing. But I am very flattered that you find the lessons useful.
Thank you very much, Jens😉👍 I have learned more with your tutorials in a few weeks than with other tutorials for several years would not change a thing
Happy to report that this lesson is right up my alley. Thank you Jens. When comping I tend to add extra rhythmic accents. Fellow musicians sometimes aks me to keep it simple and steady, to help them to keep track of the chord changes. Another thing: instead of keeping notes shorter than notated, I sometimes play them long on purpose, especially when there's no piano. This helps everybody to keep track of the harmony. More advanced musicians may not need this, I guess.
Thank you. I was actually looking for right hand piano comping rhythms and I found your video that is very helpful even though it is a guitar video. If I have a rhythm that has two eighth notes on the fourth beat would both notes anticipate the harmony of the next bar, o just the one on the up beat would?
Thanks again Jens. More rhythmic videos would be great! Long ago I learned a very simple but effective quarter note stacatto rhythm. I forget the name (but it had one!), but it was simply four quarter notes in 4/4 all stacatto but accenting the 2 and 4.
Great lesson! I often use your lessons in the practice room by working through the rhythms and using it on songs! My teacher agrees with me that my timing and rhythmic precision needs the most work currently and he notices a big difference now that Ive been using your lessons (among other stuff of course). Just wanted to say THANK YOU for that!
Great lesson, Jens. Once you learn scales, arpeggios, chords, and the way harmony combines them, you need to use them to convey a groove, an emotion or just getting people to dance. The rhythm, the use of the right hand is IMHO one of the hardest things to learn.
This is a very good lesson. I've been looking for a way to improve my skills at Jazz Rhythms and also improve my finger picking style guitar. This will also prove to be useful when I start Country chicken picking. Time to make more ice. Those little paper cups work well. All you have to do is keep pealing the paper back. Just don't rub it across your thumb tendon for more than five minutes or else your liable to get frostbite. My thumb on my left fretboard hand is the one that is the biggest bitch. I never seem to have problems with my right pick hand. I haven't practiced my two hand tap in a while. They probably don't do that in Jazz? I know they sometimes do pick hand harmonics. Do you have any ideas for improving finger picking?
Maybe talking about how to respond to a specific thing that a soloist plays. Reacting to a soloist in a way that supports the themes that they’re trying to develop rather than having to rely on a set of stock rhythms. Even though these are very helpful, a video on how to listen would be nice.
I'd appreciate more clips on jazz comping rhythms. Thanks for this handy clip. I am grateful for the knowledge you share. Wishing you all the best for the festive season.
hi, jens. thank you very much for this! lead guitarists including myself always tend to overlook on practicing rhythm. this comping patterns you’ve taught will really improve my sense of rhythm and tempo.
Great video lesson, Jens! There is tremendous potential once this material is embodied for creating a steady groove and/or for generating a swinging conversational style of comping.
I love this video. I don't know if you'll ever read this comment, but I would like more comping lessons I can play along with. It's not always easy to hear how I'm locking in with a metronome, but playing along with you I can easily tell if my timing is right.
Thank you! Videos like this one don't do that well on UA-cam so I won't make them very often, and to be honest I think you are better off practicing with a metronome and learn to feel the time and groove instead of playing along with me.
This is a great compilation, Jens. It will help me not only on guitar, but also on piano. I usually think of #4 as the “Red Garland” rhythm. Red very often did that steady off-beat anticipation in his left hand while soloing or playing melody in his right.
Jens Larsen In fact, I noticed that you labeled it “Red Garland” rhythm right after I had posted that reply! (I just practiced RG rhythm over Anthropology on piano 10 minutes ago!)
Brilliant lesson, great for daily warm up ! You can do 4 bars comp, 4 bars improv, 4 bars comp, 4 bars bass line, through any progression or song (then you will really have it internalized). Keep it up Lars !
Great lesson! I've got accustomed to playing single note lines and stand alone chords, but don't really know any jazz rhythms. Heading to Seattle for a couple days, but I can't till the weekend to practice this.
Brilliant Lesson Jens as always. I'm having lessons with David Beebee and we are going to Jam through some standards at the end of this month so this was just what I needed to brush up on my comping :) many thanks
These examples are great! I will definitely work through them and would LOVE to see more on the subject. Reading rhythms on sheet music is by far my weakest skill. And coming to Jazz from another genre I always tend to be too repetitive and "on the beat" in my rhythm playing. I think a nice video idea might be to string 2 or 3 of this rhythms together and take them through a full progression.
Unfortunantly I can just to give you my thank you. But, you have been helped me a lot! I would like to see more rythm options as you suggested. It would be awesome! Also, I hope you are doing great. Learn Jazz, make music my dear friend! Warmest regards from Brasil! Be fine!
Great topic - great video! You should show them how to comp with a pick and point out that we should not using a bazillion ghost notes (or any ghost notes) when comping. Comping on bosa novas would be a great video too
This is so very useful !!! Thank You ! :) Glad that I found it! As a (kind of) bass player I would like to "adjust" (to "fix") my guitarist for certain compings rhythms in jazz (medium swing) but that's not easy ... Here you've presented something really useful , which perhaps was missing for us.If that's possibile I would like to "request" some 1) comping guitar rhythms for (slow) JAZZ BALLADS (like 'Round Midnight) and 2) comping guitar rhythms for BOSSA NOVA/SAMBA as well if you would be kind.Not many, just some basic rhythm ideeas especially for jazz ballads. Thank You & have a Happy New Year!
Absolutely awesome, thanks. Of course it makes a lot of sense to comp like this if you are backed with a bass. If you play just two guitars some patterns might sound less appropriate... I'll have to test them but in group settings, I'll definitely need those to become second nature.
Notice some of the examples use different means of writing the rhythmic part in the "just rhythm" bars vs. the chord change bars, such as example 5 at 3:20. It can be a little confusing at first...but they are the same rhythm.
This is a really great lesson, Jens. I love the variety of rhythms and it's also really helping me work on what you have been teaching us about three note rootless voicings, voice leading, and creating melodies while comping. I'm already working on this and playing along with you and the metronome is really helping my time.
Excellent lesson thanks Jens! What picking technique would you recommend for a player without the right fingernails? Segovia suggested learning another instrument!
great video and nice comping playlist. do you have a video about comping in 5/4? I'm playing the tune Decoupage by Hank Levy and kinda lost as to what to do
Well, that is a fairly deep and complicated topic if you want to teach variations on rhythms, you also have to choose between what type of latin it is :)
God yes: can we get more rhythm lessons of this sort as I feel this is often not touched upon as often as we speak on melody/ harmony.
Thank you!!! That is great to hear! These videos on rhythm always do badly on UA-cam (this is until now no exception), but I find it important so I keep making them every now and again :)
