finely somebody who isn't talking but teaching properly. thank you so much !

Congratulations Mr. Kohl. You are the best teacher of jazz. Your lessons are incomparably accurate, and easy to assimilate. Extremely clear and concise. Do not ever disappear from KZfaq, I beg you!

I've checked out a large number of beginner Jazz lessons on KZfaq and never before has a lesson been so efficient and easy to follow. No fluff, nothing extra to expand the lesson simply for the purpose of making them longer. Clear, concise and efficient. No obvious attempts to show prowess or technical ability. No unnecessary babble. This lesson is, dare I say, perfect. Thank you. I'm now a subscriber for as long as you provide lessons.

FINALLY! Someone who ACTUALLY shows you how to go about it rather than just talking, talking, talking.... This is so helpful! Danke vielmals.

These are some of the best jazz guitar lessons on KZfaq. Jazz teachers often give too much information and I overthink it and get frustrated. With these lessons you get a short description and the music speaks for itself.

So I started this course literally this morning, I've been listening to your stuff for about three weeks, incredibly the way improvise changed dramatically during this first practice period, I'm in shock,I actually solo better today than I did yesterday, THANK YOU!!!, I NEEDED THIS, I can't wait to get the full course under my fingers, PEOPLE JUST BUY IT AND JUMP IN, ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Thank you!! What a generosity, no talk, no eternal and selfish explanations, just play, slow first, fast after. What more we can ask for? Truth be told, even showing us how to play in such detailed way I will never play like you. You are a genius, your cleanness is shocking!!!... Almost perfect

Just bought the transcription to Blue Bossa, well worth the money, I've had a lot of hot shot jazz players as teachers, and none of them could break it down to an easy to learn lesson like you.

This is a fantastic style... thank you 100x over for helping me train my ear and improve my melodic improvisation. Really enjoy how you've broken these down into pieces.

I totally appreciate the fact that you teach and don't talk , with all due respect of course.This is the best tutorial I've seen !✝️🎸😎🎸✡️

After 20 years of playing guitar and wondering how to play jazz, it’s as though I understand just a bit more now. Can’t wait to plug in and try this when I get home!!!Thank you so much

The most accurate and gifted jazz teacher on the web 👌 I also appreciate all the material I ordered on your website Achim👍 Grazie mille e a presto 👋

I know, I repeat just everything what the people here comment, BUT this is the greatest Jazz Lesson I ever had!!! Love that :)

Wow, amazing stuff man. Without even speaking a word you pretty much summed up improvisation for beginners in a couple of minutes.

Ive been searching new things online but never have i ever seen a video this straightforward♥️

Thanks Mr Kohl, simply the best .

Wow, what a cool tutorial, love this no bullshit style.

Yeah, I´m a bass player and I think what you show is awsome, in a very easy way to learn , opening the ears for jazz and blues.

Everybody, sub, like, comment and share! This dude is incredibly good and these lessons are extremely helpful, clear, informative, and fun; they are especially pure gold for someone like me, who has no idea how to read music (tried and failed/gave up) and can play scales/modes/arpeggios with relative ease without being able to do much of anything in the way of difficult chording or composing. Thanks Achim!!

Best Jazz Guitar teacher on youtube bar none. no wishy washy. A lot of them just do too much talking.

Stay with us Achim!!!!!!! Thank you.

Best lesson on KZfaq! Taking step by step now ... Thanks so much for sharing !

(ITA) sei un grande... Mi sono divertito un bel po' a provare i tuoi insegnamenti. Grazie per quello che fai.

thanks so much for posting all your vids... the way you step through a bunch of licks twice with your Wes Montgomery ect ii v vids is perfect for my level and it's opening my ears to jazz phrasing and playing... you're awesome

Dude! You are amazing! Thanks so much. I was stuck for some time in my improv skills and you explained so well that I improved from the first try. Thank you!

Great ,no talking just played chords! thks Achim!

Hello dear Achim, it is amazing how to explain how to improvise, you do it from the most basic to the professional so that I, practicing, can do it as you do. I sincerely appreciate and thank you for every minute you dedicated to this work. You opened my path to improvisation. !!! Well done !!! Hola preciado Achim, es asombrosa la manera de explicar como improvisar, lo haces desde lo más básico hasta lo profesional de manera que yo, practicando pueda hacerlo como lo haces tu. Sinceramente aprecio y te doy gracias por cada minuto que dedicaste a este trabajo. Abriste mi camino a la improvisación. !!!Bien hecho !!!I

Achim ; beautiful apresentation and tech. your videos are the best, congrat. thanks for posting.

thanks...for to start jazz lesson..it s not at all easy but learning is learning...very nice lesson..good!!!

Vielen Dank, viel Glück!

This video is the best from youtube. Thanks man, you helped me alot! =)

My mind is not capable of understanding names for individual notes. I really mean that. I am only capable of hearing notes and different pitches and that is how I learn. As soon as anyone breaks music down to mathematics and letters for notes I lose interest and fail to learn. Just play and then I learn. My comments are not directed at you Achim. Rather I am stating what is fact for me. I am happy enough with the way I am.

Very Nice lecon thankyou very much prof

Thank you!

Ich werde mir alle drei parts kaufen. danke!

GOOD STUFF!!! Thank you

Great lesson thanks!

a lesson for all time ..

Great explanation Mr. Kohl, thanks

A very helpful video! Thank you :)

THANKS SO MUCH!. This is so good

Thanks so much for your efective instruction!

Lovely notes. Thanks

I can see no reason to use tabs to learn this. This is a very clear presentation, it is easy to see what happens on the fingerboard. More, it is possible to play the video on half speed in KZfaq, just find that setup from the right corner of the KZfaq window. It is better to try to listen more and read tabs less.

Vielen dank für diese tollen videos, achim. Die bringen mich echt voran :)

I find finally my teacher !

Good stuff, brotha man. You broke it down quite well. Given me some good practice material.

Great lesson!!!

Oh very very good! Nice lesson!!

Great video, thank you

Great stuff ... I gotta get to work 👍

Achim, I like your approach to jazz and blues. Just bought Basic improvisation in Dm7. Patrick

Beautiful!

me encantaron tus videos eres increible con la guitarra🎸🎸🎸

O melhor canal do KZfaq 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏

Bravo Sir...wish I could learn them soon.

Danke. Gut gemacht ohne viel Schnickschnack.

Thank you so MUCH!

Terrific!

Thumb up man, you are the real deal. So helpfull 😀.

Excelente, gracias me estoy iniciando en el mundo del jazz

relly nice, thank you! greetings from Argentina!

I need this soon! 👏👏👏👌👍👋

nice job men🎸💓👐 Twale sir.my loyalty 👑

great stuff here! Thank you and i'm waiting for more :)

Top class lesson!

So the D Dorian scale does not have a C#. It’s the second mode of the C major scale which has C natural. The highest note of that scale should have a fret in between the highest note and second highest note to create a whole step (C->D) instead of a half step (C#->D)

thank you

Very nice!

Muito bom parabéns
