When you start learning arpeggios then usually it is in positions and that is great for having an overview of all the chord tones of a chord but it is not immediately easy to use them and to add that to your playing in a way that sounds good, it is this separate pattern that you can't really get to work.
This video will help you fix that so that you start playing better jazz solos and don't waste time when you are practicing arpeggios.

I'm curious why so much of arpeggio practice is root based. While I think many players (myself included) might, in C, play a Cma7 (C-E-G-B) and an Em7 (E-G-B-D) arp, but what of the inversions, i.e., a Cma7 arp that starts on 3 (E-G-B-C), 5 (G-B-C-E), or 7 (B-C-E-G)? Because so much music goes up a 4/down a 5 the 7-to-3 voice leading is great, but it's not the only voice leading.

@@jimkangas4176 Also, for myself when I am learning a new chord on my keyboard, I play that chord with each chordal tone as the root. Later on as I begin to learn other keys, I find I already am familiar with chords that I didn't know I knew. And this knowledge translates fairly well when playing on my bass. I just watched a video that seemed similar to what you said in your comment. I will link it in a minute.

Wonderful and practical lesson! One perspective: I've found triads (with 7th extensions) a more practical way to mentally store / practice this rather than scale-like arpeggios. Bear with me, it's not that I'm not arpeggiating the triads when I improvise, it's that by having the triad as a muscle memory (rather than an arpeggio) means when I need to improv over a chord in real time, my fingers all immediately form to the nearest relevant triad, which means I can instantly start on any chord tone, and introduce nearby scale tones to taste, as I anticipate a new chord coming, I'll try to vice lead to the next triad and do the same thing. At the end of the day its the same result, but archiving things relative to a triad I find mentally simpler (as long as you understand the chord tones in the triad or inversion). One other comment about your comment at the very end about practicing all the arpeggios in the key in one superimposed position. I've never found exercises like that to be musically relevant. Instead I do the same thing but following the most common chord resolutions in music: 5 -1. 1 -4. 2 5 1. 6 2 5 1. etc... I practice those chord resolutions like crazy because that's literally what I'll need to do in a real musical context... I almost never need to follow the major scale progression in numeric order.

I’ve been learning to play jazz for about a year and was really struggling with soloing using arpeggios/guide tones due to the overwhelming number of patterns to remember all over the fretboard. This old video popped up in my feed yesterday and this morning I’ve focussed on a single octave and am playing lines that I am genuinely pleased with. My phrasing is massively improved because I’m not scrabbling around frantically trying to locate the next “good” note and things are just flowing quite beautifully. Thanks Jens for providing such a simple suggestion. It seems so obvious now you’ve told us!

To me, you could put the last bit first - practicing arpeggios inside the scale is so useful. I would never practice am arpeggio outside of its scalar context after learning that way. I also like to move a scale to different positions and starting places to learn the different ways of playing the same arpeggios. It's so much better for me than learning just patterns.

Great lesson Jens. Along with your lesson on identifying triads within the scale I've found this approach very helpful in breaking the habit of, as you say, running up and down the whole arpeggio. These techniques, as well as getting more adept at enclosures and note targeting (from your book) are letting me make lines that feel a bit less predictable to me. I know you have covered it before, but videos building on this one which talk more about voice leading with the 3rd and 7th guide tones would also be fantastic. Thanks

Arpeggios, scales, target notes, enclosures, pentatonics, all up a string, across the fretboard, across and up the fretboard and all in the context of a progression. I’ve spent a lot of practice time on these ideas but rarely played anything I was happy with. This lesson is a eureka moment for me. Specifically, 2:59 to 5:11. I tried limiting myself within an octave and immediately started to make meaningful melodies. THANK YOU JENS. You are doing a wonderful service with your in-depth instructions. As with practicing, I keep going over and over many of your videos to make the material second nature to me.

Also I'm finding with more knowledge my playing feels less soulful and melodic, this is because I have more confidence and I try to cram in way more notes than I should be. As soon as force myself to slow down, take a breath, play small melodic chunks with really good rhythm... it sounds way way better. An example is when I first learned the melodic minor scale and its use.. I tried to play almost every tone from the scale at lightning speed where I could. I would follow a pattern so it didn't sound like the scale, but it still didn't sound as musical as it could. Instead if I just leave tons of empty space, play a few "important" notes from that scale (like a 6th and a minor 3rd or something) at just the right moment... Sounds lovely and melodic again. I'm constantly at risk of trying to say too much with my guitar as I expand what I'm capable of

This is great stuff as always. I have actually taken it down to just triads over the chord changes of a standard to 1. not rely on specific positions and get better at moving around the neck, and 2. force myself to internalize the sound of the notes (I sing along with what I'm playing) and then 3. try to be more melodic with fewer note choices for each chord. If I really get comfortable with a particular tune I start using enclosures and chromatic approach notes.

Great video, thanks! I was so tired with watching videos teaching arpeggios, but everytime it was " oh, you go 1-3-5-7th note of scale " and it was always up and down and boring as hell.. Finally your video shown me how to make it more musical aslo without playing hundreds notes with it. I was sitting with my six string during watching your video and i played really cute solo over Am7 chord looped. Even if it was one chord playing arround i could easy mess with 1-3-5-7 without going up and down all the time and add some extra notes from scale to spice it up and it sounded extremaly better than ususally. Now time to make propet practise. Thank you Jens!

I found call and response patterns a great way to create melodies while practicing. I will limit myself to just the chord tones during the call part and mix it with some scale notes during the response. It helped me tie into the sound of the chord better, and think about my phrasing instead of randomly going up and down the scale. One step further would be to play the call part at one location of the fretboard and connect it with the response part at a location above/below that location. When repeated over a progression, keeping the relative position of the notes same during the call for each chord, and adding variations during the response is a challenging yet rewarding practice. The different locations give different voicings, as if two people are singing and mirroring each other.

I have searched for 2 and half years for this lesson! You are amazing dude thank you so much! Is the point of this lesson basically when you use the arpeggio to land on the new chord tone does the scale map around that arpeggio change for example: If we have a progression that is 1,4,5 in G, If I go down the arpeggio with the passing tones of the G major scale, upon landing on the C root not, does the scale/arpeggio map in my mind change to the C major scale and then to the C major arpeggio until land on a D chord tone which will then change the map again into to the D major scale and D arpeggio until I arrive at the G again?

Hi Jens, I have a quick question please. In using the arpeggio one third above the root of the chord that the band is playing, you get a nice sound which starts on the 3rd and includes the 9th. However, This principle seems to work on all diatonic chords/arpeggios except the iii. If I use the V7 as an alternative to the iii, I don't get a 9th but a b9. Should I avoid this substitution? Am I thinking this right?

Hey, Jens, Thanks for the lesson. I've practiced diatonic arpeggios in the key of c major for about over a month following your lessons, and got great improvements on improvising , thanks alot. But along with the progress I made, I found one problem I just can't figure out my self. Which is that when I was practucing arpeggios, I can only think about one thing in mind, the note names or the intervals. For example, if I was playing E7, what happenes in my mind would be E,G#,B and D, I cannot bring up the numbers or the intervals of each notes at the same time. It's like I might forget the numbers of each notes when thinking about the alphabets, and as the same as I was thinking. about numbers. I know it might seem like an old question for you but, Jens, is it okay if I only think about one thing when practice, or I.need to force my self to think about both of the note names and intervals at a time. Plz help. thanks alot.

We're waiting for you to actually use these methods dude! Can you play music and play a few (3-4) lines so we can hear changes being played, please? Also, can you leave out the backtrack? Thanks...

Hi Jens I miss the improvisational aspect in those lessons..it seems that Jazz is just composing licks which it is not...so could this info be helpful...I also like lessons wothout theoretical explanation ...because all the time getting info that is already the basics for the 1000;'s time is sometimes feeling constantly in the first class musicschool or preperation year conservatorium....of cours I lke basic stuff and have a lot to learn still but gthis would be my Ultimate crticism meant to create lessons for people like me i know You can because a lot of lessons of yours were interesting for me of at least parts of it with refreshing idea's or new concepts even new Theory but this would be My Suggestion....I wish it is helpful and taken full with the respect I mean them.....

How to play what you hear in your head instantly? If you can do that and listen to a lot of jazz so that melody is internalized in you, then you can just play what you hear right? Isn't that what all the great guys do? How to do that?

@@JensLarsen oh. Indian classical musicians also play mostly improvised stuff like jazz musicians but they always say that they play what they hear. And I've heard people like Miles Davis and Chick Corea saying that that's how they do it. Isn't that really how it's supposed to be done. That you learn all this and practice all this stuff and when you play, you just play what you hear. How do you do that anyway? Be able to play what you hear instantly.

@@aadityakiran_s Yes, but they trained to hear that type of melody, so it is not only play whatever you can think of. Otherwise, people with perfect pitch could immediately play any style of music, and that is also not the case :)
