My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

Not surprised that you chose one from _Intercontinental_ -- I know you like that album, as do I.

Dear Jens, the first time I heard Joe Pass was through this record (Intercontinental). This recording was the one that caused me to "abandon" rock and turn completely to Jazz (this was 46 years ago). Of course I listened to this record and all of Pass hundreds of times. That's why I really appreciate you "push" your audience and students to listen to this record. I also thank you for everything you do to improve the study of Jazz in general. I send you a big hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

When I was 15, I played the accordion, was getting into jazz, and thus was interested in Art Van Damm's records. I had a couple but one in particular, which I think was called Blue World, featured an amazing guitarist that I'd never heard of. This was the mid-70s and I couldn't believe the latter wasn't famous because I thought he was head and shoulders better than everybody else in a lot of ways. Ok, I was 15. But a year later that guitarist teamed up with Oscar Peterson and then everybody suddenly knew his name. It's great to see his renaissance on youtube. I didn't listen to him for years and became seduced by other guitarists. I've found myself returning to him, and listening to him with older ears, he really was something else.

I was lucky enough to see Joe perform solo at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA in the late 80s. What a performance! Not just his amazing playing, but his banter with the audience kept us engaged through the whole show. As a guitarist, of course I was watching his fingers, but got lost many times. He was a consummate professional but most people only know him from his guest appearances with the Oscar Peterson Trio.

He used a Benson amp at Dant'es in North Hollywood Ca on guitar nights(Monday night - usually a 'dark' night). It was a 2 pickup 175 exclusively, although a single pickup version showed up a couple of times. The polytone did become the "jazz amp" as benson were somewhat unreliable for regular gigging. I saw him many, many times there in 70 and 71 as all the players went to learn. Donald Bailey on drums, often Terry Trotter on piano ('71). Bass players varied but were the legends you'd expect. One labor day a canadian guy came in to listen - in a tuxedo! Then he sat in. The legendary Oscar Peterson. almost no one was there . . . they laughed through the last sets.

I saw Joe Pass play in relatively small club. At the time, my guitar background was mainly in Classical Guitar, but I enjoyed all forms of guitars and styles. I loved his playing and was impressed with his tone. As far as I could tell, he did not use any fingernails, and that was an important part of his full, round tone, and his expressive playing. I have an old single pickup Herb Ellis ES175 that nails that Jazz tone. I use different picks for different styles and results: plectrum for fast legato sounding alternate picking, finger picks for contrapuntal music, no picks or nails on Jazz, thumb pick on acoustic guitar, and all the various combinations as it suits my desire.

Joe Pass has been one of my favorites since I discovered him in 1977. He would switch between a pick and his fingers (a soft tone from not having long finger nails). I have an older jazz guitarist friend that got to hang around with Joe Pass for a while. He said he didn’t think much of it at the time. That surprised me. I think it was because Joe was very modest and humble.

When I was at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood Joe Pass was under-appreciated we all wanted to learn from Paul Gilbert and Scott Henderson etc...(we were just kids wanting to be Rock Stars) I took a couple of Masterclasses from Joe and his depth was ocean deep, I wish I wasn't the young inexperienced guitarist I was back then. Joe Pass was one of the most humble and nice people at M.I. and I am talking about 1986-87. Now I know he was a Guinness and when I listen to his chord melody I am always speechless. Thank You, Jens You are really valuable to all guitar players!

I got into a lot of amazing guitar players in college. For some reason Joe Pass fell under the radar but is easily a remarkable musician that commands attention. I blame it on BMG music! hahaha!!! Glad to see how much influence he has to today's players.

btw, my fav Joe Pass album, I've been listening to it since the early 70's. His version of "I Love You" just smokes...one of the best jazz guitar albums ever. Love his sound on this album as well!!

I got turned on to Joe Pass as a teenager by my guitar teacher as well. I actually still have the record that my teacher gave me in the mid 70's. And you're right. Nobody talks about this album. If you really want to learn technique , chord structures and improvising this is a great place to start.

I agree; I think he is playing with his fingers. Your videos are wonderful. I am changing from being a fan of blues to jazz and your videos are perfect for doing that. You sound like my son-in-law so I’ll close by saying “tak”.
