I like ranch dressing on my salad and for nostalgia i use 1000 islands dressing. Seriously, Jens larsen is the best, without any doubt. thank you Jens.

[@danielroberts395]

Fantastic analogy. I will show this to my students in my high school Music classes when teaching improv

[@JensLarsen]

Excellent!

[@throckmortensnivel2850]

I get both good solid information, and inspiration from Jens Larsen's videos. Thank you , Jens, for helpiing me become a better player, and increasing my enjoyment of playing.

[@brittanielsen3083]

I needed this information 10’years ago. Im a roadmap guy, best money i ever spent on anything. Amazing teaching, next level. Ty Jens ❤

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! Tha tis really great to hear!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Improvisation with knowledge of how to theory and the fretboard helps so much. Wonderful stuff Jens!

[@Calbertone]

I wish you were my teacher 30 years ago! Great lesson Lars!

[@JensLarsen]

I am currently working on learning jazz on my guitar. I have been strugling to find content to guide me to learn jazz. This channel has been the best one to learn so far. At least to know where should I look for content and how to target it: creating exercices as a study guide and all that stuff. Thank you man

[@zenncatt]

Thank you Jens for a great lesson. You present a rock solid foundation for crafting melodies and solos. Something I've been revisiting attentively.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mathiasdaems7144]

I was just looking for this! Thanks again, Jens!

[@JensLarsen]

You're so welcome!

[@steellemonstudios]

Delicious lesson! This analogy is so common, and this is a brilliant demonstration of that idea. Well done!

[@JensLarsen]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Matt_J95a]

Brilliant, subscribed - thanks for these free lessons. This was so helpful!

[@JensLarsen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ericstrauch3215]

Great lesson Jens! The title could also be" Improvising-Start Here", ( your title is much better!) Definitely more than one lesson contained in this one. Will be coming back to this over the next few months as I go through each step. Again, a wealth knowledge from you sir, and presented in an easy to understand manner.

Does the comparison work and it is helpful to think about it like that? 🙂 Jazz Beginners: Learn From My Mistakes kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KVfmmsgtGSfMU

Failing to compose 251 lines was the number one limiting factor that stopped my progress as an aspiring jazz guitar player for 10 years. I took lessons for years and had multiple teachers teach me a lot of great stuff, but I sucked but they couldn't figure out why I sucked. That was the missing link to make my biggest breakthrough in jazz since college.

[@kevindonnelly761]

I've composed and recorded my own licks and riffs that should have worked but sounded static. Why ? Because I started them on the 1. I didn't know what a difference starting them on the 4& or 1& would make. I treated down and up beats equally. I know a little bit more about Forward Motion now. Rhythm makes a definite difference.🤩

[@JensLarsen]

Keep at it! You are on the right track!

[@kevindonnelly761]

@@JensLarsen Thanks Jens, will do. 😁

[@cbolt4492]

Awesome 😎

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you!

[@matt_greene]

But i just watched a Barry Harris masterclass where he says "rules are more important than scales" ! this was in the context of talking about bebop scales however

[@mahakala]

i was puzzled to see gordon ramsey😅

I was actually wondering how long you would be able to keep the original thumbnail.

I'm just testing if other ones are better

[@cechichan]

And what about chords that are from different scales ? what would be the steps to go about em

[@JensLarsen]

Wouldn't it be the same just using that scale?

[@cechichan]

The thing that sometimes bothers me, lets say I have a 1st chord: D major 2nd Chord: F minor I know what notes and why and many options to go on each chord, but what do i think to "glue them" ? Yes imagine a musical line and thats the soul anwer but id love to "math " it. Is it simply aiming for a certain note over the 2nd chord then just go by ear and note choice , or Is there more ways to think about how to link the available notes of the 1st chord with the availalbe notes of the 2nd?@@JensLarsen

[@JensLarsen]

@@cechichan Yes playing towards a target note will work. You could voice-lead the two chords, but you could also learn to analyze them in the key they are in and in that way understand what notes make the clearest target notes and what the flow of the progression is about.

[@cechichan]

@@JensLarsen appreciate it! :D

Look into getting KZbin Premium if you haven't already done so.

[@thijs199]

If the price would be alright. I can't get around 12 euro's a month for something that has always been free. like half that would already raise my eyebrows severely. 5 euro's I would happily pay that@@motorbikeray

I didn't know ole Gordon was a guitar connoisseur... However, I've seen his mouth play a pretty good tune on someones ears when he wants to..

We'll see 😁
