Adam Rogers - How To Use Triplet Rhythms

[@JensLarsen]

Do you hear Eleanore Rigby quote as well? (And keep the requests coming so I can plan more solo analysis videos!)

[@xZer0eZx]

Would be really cool to see some rhythm analysis on Prince of Darkness by Miles Davis, or anything off of the sorcerer album, really. There isn't actually guitar on there but the second Miles Davis Quintet is just so rhythmically interesting. Also curious to know what you think of that era of Miles Davis albums.

[@JensLarsen]

Actually I talk about that quintet really often? Once every 5 videos or so 🙂

[@DojoOfCool]

Adam Rogers is one of the best guitarist on the scene today. When the really big name guitarist feel like taking a lesson, Adam is the guy they call. My teacher told me Adam is also a scary good sight reader part of why he works so much. Glad you did a lesson on Adam.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! Glad you like it! 🙂

[@NotYourTypicalNegro]

OMG. I can't believe you did a listen on this guy. One of my favorite players of all time. I followed him from the 90s when he was in Lost Tribe.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad you like it! I think he is really one of the important guys right now so of course I should do a video on him 🙂

[@TiagoLageira]

His album "Sight" is so good, by coincidence I discovered it yesterday!

[@JensLarsen]

Yes that is a really great album! :)

[@effsixteenblock50]

As you promised - a lesson on Adam Rogers! Well done and appreciated! Thank you Jens!

[@JensLarsen]

You're very welcome!, 🙂

[@dbminor9694]

Hi Jens!loved the way you played and explained the examples. Thank you for introducing Adam Rogers to me. :)

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful 🙂

[@Silviossb]

Adam Rogers é um guitarrista genial,um dos melhores da atualidade.

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks! Glad you like the video! Who would you like to see a video on? 🙂

[@edenilsonlopes84]

Very nice.....

[@xZer0eZx]

Great video. Would love to see more rhythm oriented lessons in the future. Keep it up man

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks! I will if you guys watch them. Until now they have done very very badly 🙂

[@jumemowery9434]

Thanks Jens!!! I love your videos! !!

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you Jume! Really glad you like it!

[@Gusrikh1]

Very interesting and educational.

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@skylerhalemusic]

Great lesson! I’ve started to realize that learning knew rhythmic ideas gets me out of my plateaus of playing the same kind of thing all the time. I’m definitely gonna be shedding the ideas in this lesson. I also plan to check out your patreon page to become a supporter. Thanks for educating us!

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks! Glad you like the video! Who would you like to see a video on? 🙂

[@skylerhalemusic]

Jens Larsen I would love to see some videos about the soloing and harmony of guys like Cory Henry and Jacob Collier. There’s so many questions I have about what Cory is doing in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJSnqqmijr6JhMk But if that’s not up your alley another good one would be a side stepping lesson based on Scofield’s song “Do Like Eddie”.

[@-Atmos1]

I'll have to listen to Adam Rogers....

[@JensLarsen]

You won't regret doing that :)

[@-Atmos1]

also , just watched John Patitucci electric quartet Jazz fest Bonn 2017...I like the choice of rhythm on the 1st track....

[@Isaac-Draper]

Great vid Jens. I love this version of the tune. I’ve been using Ari Hoenig’s polyrhythms book to work on this stuff. Well worth checking out!

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks Isaac! I need to check out Ari's books, I love his playing especially with Gilad

[@JazzDuets]

cool man!

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks Nick!

[@TONIKOBLER]

hi , thanks , great class

[@JensLarsen]

You're very welcome! 👍🙂

[@DESIENASHOES]

Great lesson. like the phrases and the sound, I didn' t know him, I will check him out "!

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks! He is certainly worth checking out! This album is great and so is the one with Night And Day on it.

[@dkwvt13]

Nice... I am not a familiar with Adam Rogers but I like this lesson and I like all the musicians you referenced. More homework, (in a good way!). Thank You!

[@JensLarsen]

Thanks Donald! Keep at it :)

[@dkwvt13]

Jens Larsen LOL, I will if you will...! 😎. Thanks!

[@JensLarsen]

I shall do my best 🙂

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

as a matter of fact the F# over A7(half hole diminished or octatonic scale to combine it with F triad over A7 is something I am studying sometime on piano(and guitar) I never heard someelse so now I do, but the F over A7 could be seen as the dominant Vth step over Bbmelodic and Charlie Parker in Donna Lee uses it on the Eb7 in the theme. so of course because the tension of the octatonic or dimished F# is stronger it seems that he resolves but this is what I get out of it and where I associate it with..My wish is to be at any help...

[@XgamersXdimensions]

You should do more videos on Triplet Ideas with groups of 4!

[@JensLarsen]

Did you already check out these? 🙂 Triplet Groupings: kzbin.info/aero/PLWYuNvZPqqcG1QUhCVmfT7jAg1i3P17cp

[@RealinDealer]

A beautiful timbre on the Adam Rogers example too. I wonder what kind of guitar he's using.

[@JensLarsen]

It's a classical guitar, not sure exactly which one 🙂

[@iloverumi]

Great lesson- more on rhythmic variety. Never heard of quarter note triplets. And what is an upside down triplet? Got to get these concepts down and into my playing.

[@JensLarsen]

I actually talk about them and write it out in the video right? 🙂 It's not that difficult 👍

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

also interesting how he uses the same diminished and the same #VI Triad A over C7 and F# over A7 maybe because he did that in C already he changes that down to F triad?

[@sergej100qca4]

Can you do a video on gilad hekselman

[@JensLarsen]

I will! Or I will at least try 🙂

[@TheMetalslayer100]

Hi Jens, that’s a great Video! Would you find it interesting to make a video to teach a single song? Because i would really like to play the song „In your own sweet way“ , the way Wes Montgomery played it... and there aren‘t good teaching videos or free sheets online to learn that song, and only by ear it‘s a little bit difficult :-) So if you are interested, i think that would make a good video 👍🏼

[@JensLarsen]

Actually if you look a little closer I think you can find a decent transcription of it 🙂

[@alilotfi7974]

Hey Jens, great lesson and insight as always. i was wondering if you had any other great Triplet-based solo that you would recommend me to check out !??

[@JensLarsen]

Herbie Hancock on anything medium in the 60s like Speak No Evil, Witchhunt or live with Miles on All Of You

[@alilotfi7974]

@@JensLarsen Great Choices. Thanks Jens !

[@jazzapv]

Your videos are really useful, happy I found your channel, I just ordered the book, looking forward to reading it. I've bumped into a video by Emily Remler kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKXGZKZ7fa6BeK8 and I can't stop listening to it. It occurred that in jazz rarely anyone talks about female musicians. Well it's probably because there aren't that many. She maybe could be a future video idea?

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! That's very nice of you to say so! Emily Remler is indeed a good topic for a video :) This version of Softly with the ascending bass is one of my favourites 🙂

[@barroyhermanos]

Jazz University on the Internet???? Do you want to have a gig, [please contact Music Agency: Lotus, Jan -Hens Milenkovicz: Gigs without rehearsl with Coryfeeen like Henk Zomer, Eef Albers Henk van Benthem etc...

[@MegaMalban]

shut up

You can send me an e-mail if you want to discuss this in any serious way :)
