Hi Jens! I saw the lesson description on your website, one of the bullet points is : "Chord Melody arrangement of 3 Jazz Songs" I didn't see what was the 3 songs title included... Could you please give this information to me?

[@gene12586]

Hi, I emailed you a week ago to purchase this chord melody, but I haven't heard back from you. Can you please let me know how to go about purchasing the chord melody? Thanks!

[@morganalvarez5925]

Hey great playing love the sound and tone of your guitar, love to know what Model Jazz guitar that is

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! My guitar is an Ibanez AS2630 from '77

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

very nice : )

[@UlliMueller]

Gorgeous! I'll send you an email for the lesson.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you so much Ulli!

[@przemekptaszynski3542]

Wow, this is really beautiful. Will you share any pdf?

[@JensLarsen]

+Przemek Ptaszyński Thank you! It is part a lesson that somebody bought from me so I can't really share it. If you want to purchase a copy of the lesson then you could send me an e-mail?

Words cannot express my envy on your talent Mr Larsen. I have a question if I may. How do the pick ups or hollow-body affect tone? In other words, to what do you owe this melting tone? Thank you for this video. Great work. -Ege

[@JensLarsen]

+seagull179 Thanks man! Pickups are a huge part of the tone, they add the initial compression and shapes the input from the strings. I suspect that pickups are more important than wood when it comes to the tone of the guitar, but I am no expert. For the rest my tone is carefully sculpted both in choice of guitar and pickups and the whole signal chain within the AxeFx (which is also a huge part of it)

[@seagull179]

+Jens Larsen Thanks a lot for the information mister. May you always warm others' hearts with your tunes.

[@nealpaddock]

lovely :)

[@JensLarsen]

+Neal Paddock Thank you Neal!

[@jackjones9757]

Did you notate this with tablature or standard notation? I figure it would be pretty difficult to read something like that in standard notation.

[@JensLarsen]

Haha Actually I wouldn't be able to read it in tabs, I am only given real sheet music when I work. The arrangement is written in both tabs and standard notation though.

[@kenjarecki1932]

Jens, what are the tunes you teach in the chord melody survival kit? Thanks, Ken

[@JensLarsen]

Moonlight in Vermont, What is this thing called love and....

[@JensLarsen]

Tune Up. I forgot.... Really it is not about the songs it is about the method of harmonizing though.

[@kenjarecki1932]

@@JensLarsen Thanks! Was wondering if you ever made a pdf of Chord Melody for Don't Explain? Ken

[@JensLarsen]

I made a whole lesson and it is available for sale, but you need to send me an e-mail.

[@kenjarecki1932]

@@JensLarsen Please give me your email. Thanks, Ken

[@GiorgosGavriil]

Hi, is the song's transcription included in the description's link lesson? I'm asking because in some comments you mention sending you an email instead. Thanks

[@JensLarsen]

A transcription of what I play? Yes it is

[@GiorgosGavriil]

@@JensLarsen hi, I just bought the course from your website but I did not find your "don't explain" rendition in the tabs rar file. Am I missing something? Thank you!

[@JensLarsen]

@@GiorgosGavriil this not a part of the chord melody lesson, which is why I ask you to email me 🙂

[@JensLarsen]

@@GiorgosGavriil Ah, now I get it. I can only see your comments not the video description when I answer you. I'll fix it for you, but send me an e-mail :)

[@GiorgosGavriil]

@@JensLarsen I just sent you an email. Thanks

[@raydamoiseau]

Comping hard with urself there...

[@mikaelakkus]

how can i find the written tabs of this version?

[@JensLarsen]

Read the video description :)

[@mikaelakkus]

sorry:)

[@JensLarsen]

No worries!

[@Strings-jg2to]

I have a question ( may be stupid), but is there an advantage in learning traditional sheet music than tablature?

[@wellfedstarvingartist]

Tabs tell you what fret to play. Notation tells you the note, rhythm, and how to play the note in context to the music.

[@Strings-jg2to]

This is tough to learn

[@JensLarsen]

+Strings 1043 Yes, it takes a bit of time ☺️
