Thank you Jens. Your lessons are always such an inspiration! I'm so slow that I'm still digesting one from about two years ago, but that lesson alone has completely changed my playing and increased my enjoyment enormously. This lesson helps to give me a glimpse into the 'outside' sounds I hear in other's playing that has always been a mystery to me, but at my current rate, it may take another ten years just to comprehend the lesson. 😀

Hi Jens, I always follow you and I took some cues from you to include some jazz language in my playing. But now I would like to devote myself completely to the study of jazz guitar and I would like to start from a basic level. I don't have much time to follow online, have you written a method that could help me develop my basic path? I don't read music so I would need tabs and audio examples in the method. Thanks regardless

@@JensLarsen Let me tell you Why I'm asking: I'm doing a doctorate in which I'm trying to defend jazz theory as an analytical tool for analyzing Western music of th 20th century. I came across this article by Tymoczko in which he relates jazz and Impressionism (Debussy, Ravel) by a set of 7 scales, in which the augmented scale is included. The thing is, you're the only person I've ever heard, besides him, that speaks of a usage of this scale in the context of jazz and I was wondering if there are more people who speak of it, and if it is recognized and applied in the chord-scale theory in general. Thanks for your response, your channel is one of the best on jazz I've seen on the Internet!

Jens - I have a suggestion for another lesson on triads. It comes from a Podcast by Pablo Held where he is interviewing John Patitucci and they are talking about Wayne Short's "angular" playing. It would be great if you could analyse this for guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKKqd4ewjttmg8U&ab_channel=PabloHeld. Patitucci demonstrates it on bass at about 45mins into the podcast.
@JensLarsen2 жыл бұрын
I actually have a few lessons on that already, here's one on dim scale use as in the podcast, but some of the triad pair videos could be useful for developing that sort of melodies (which is also what I demonstrate in this video, both on triad pairs and with the augmented scale) kzbin.info/www/bejne/amrHmZSNoqeiopo Does that help?

Major 7th is almost impossible to make sound good on top of a dominant chord. (F# played on a G7) Resolving even to the root isnt going to help it, since of all the alterations possible on top, the root is a weak/uninteresting top line melody note. (My 2 cents)

Yeah, as I’ve mentioned on other “Jazz” channels, the problem I personally have with all the videos on this scale or mode working over that chord thing just doesn’t sound musical to me. I can listen to fusion guys for maybe a minute before I have to find something else 😂. It’s about phrases and melodies not scales, triads, etc IMHO. Give me Lester Young or Louie Armstrong anytime. Dexter Gordon is about as far “out” as I can stand it. Even though he did play out he always brought it back to the melody and kept you listening, a beautiful thing. Not too many players today that do that. Just sayin…Peace ✌️
