You couldn’t be satisfied with a lightbulb moment, could you? You had to go and set off a nuke…….. and I’m gloriously happy - this is one of the most useful tutorials I’ve seen! Just that first bit of advice - learn the short arpeggios - instead of the full neck versions… that’s gold! I’m going to watch this video several times - with a guitar in my hands - to get the most from it

I agree 100%. I have a book full of single octave arpeggios for dozens of chords, yet there isn't a single mention of how to use them in a musical context. Thank God for instructors like Jens who understand the struggle and are willing to provide clear, simple, practical explanations of how to transform theory into musical expression. Because of him my book of arpeggios is open on my music stand instead of gathering dust on a shelf.

Major 'DUH'!! I've been playing AND teaching for a long time and until this video never realized that 2-5-1 arpeggios all start on the same fret if you're on the 6th or 5th strings. And moving along to the next strings aren't difficult as long as you allow for the B string. That alone has opened up my eyes and ears. Thank you Jens!

This is my absolute favorite and powerful lesson that Mr. Larsen teaches online and he's done so many of them on this subject and its always so great! I never get tired of it because its so fundamental to jazz solo. Using triads and building them later off the third and fifth really becomes such a powerful way of adding 9ths and 11ths for complex harmony too. Thanks Jens!

This is a great lesson. I would recommend this video to be included in your jazz guitar roadmap course in one of the first lessons on rehearsing arpeggios. Especially the part in this video where you explain about how they relate to a 2-5-1 progression. That the second degree in the C major scale relates to Dm and the fifth relates to the G. I totally see that now, but I didn't realise it in a clear way until I watched this video. To me the C major arpeggios related in a random way to anything in the key of C, which it does, but seeing that the different degrees of the arpeggios can relate to the other chords was strangely enough an epiphany for me. Thanks a million for opening up this door for me. 😃 All the best, Thor

It's also a good exercise for articulating across strings, so I can't in good conscience say, "Jens said it doesn't matter." 😂

I learned Arpeggios via Metal, I got the large "simple" shapes down first and improvised so often I started just adding whatever scale notes I felt like which led to enclosures naturally. Then after listening to more fusion type stuff I decided random chromatics can fit well too provided you resolve back to the scale notes. I'm trying to learn proper jazz to a point but its really hard after playing Shred stuff for so long as well as not liking most horn based jazz, just cant stand listening to those instruments. I do however listen to Allan Holdsworth's discography every night before and during sleep "subconscious absorption learning." I think i'm slowly getting there, I'm somewhat stuck on memorizing proper comping chords, i learned to just play really large barre chords for everything and moveable caged method to play capo stuff without a capo. Those shell voicings and the inversions or other number things related to shell voicings that arent inversions but somehow also are, are confusing as heck. I would go to university for jazz if I could understand more stuff first because I feel I would just fail miserably if I didnt already have that stuff down, I'm also a slow learner due to a brain injury and I'm 36 now so kinda old to go to school.

Hey Jens, thank you for the valueable lesson. I think in the past I've heard you being an advocate of 3NPS, however, in this video you're basing licks on the (I'm sorry) CAGED shape 2:58, E.g. 5:43 - I would play B on the same string as G, etc. Do you not lay the notes into those positions at all when you're playing or it's just for this particular lick your fingers found this more convenient? I'm trying to get more structure into my playing and was thinking I would base it around the 3NPS positions, i.e. get all the arpegio shapes out of them into my fingers while other notes from the scale encircle them according to the position. Do you approach that differently, finding the convenient arpegio shapes and then locating the notes from the scale around them which gives you 2:58?

Well, I studied the Berklee system and 3NPS but I don't limit myself with positions when I play. This position is in both the Berklee and the CAGED system which is why I use it very often for examples. Technique is there to make it easier to play so limiting yourself by positions can really work against your progress.

@@JensLarsen Oh yeah, I got them mixed up - you said you only learned the 3NPS for an exam. I understand the sentiment about limitations imposed by positions, but I think I need a foundation that would help me see the notes of the chords and scales. Getting triad shapes under my fingers definitely improved my comfort on the neck, but with arpeggios and scales there are a lot of options so you have to choose a system to start from

This is so awesome. I have been on the brink of starting one of your courses for years. I play, but most of the time I am stuck inside a square box of my own making... if you know what I mean. Can you recommend the best progressive course to start with you?

Thank you! It is difficult to give specific advice, we are all different and need to focus on different things 🙂 Maybe Check out this post: jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-jazz-guitar-suggestions-to-begin-studying/ The course that probably will work the best is the Roadmap

For a "Jazz Beginner" it is quite common to know the diatonic arpeggios. They are the most important scale exercise after all 🙂

What type of jazz do you play? Because the only guitarist right now and just said I like actually there’s actually a lot of them but the ones that I can remember are you in Rotan Sivan. I don’t know what style of jazz play so that I can listen to it more but things like bebop and swing aren’t necessarily what I like
