This dude gives good lessons and loves brown guitars.

I don't think that most people realize how important this lesson is. If I were a high school or college music teacher, this would be a mandatory lesson. You are a superb teacher.

This is million dollar lesson for a jazz introduction. Master this song like that even if it takes you a few years... then you can go into jazz guitar further.

Jens Larsen you the best thing that could ever happened to my career. Thank you for taking time out to enlighten my path and journey of guitar playing

Clarity and precision in teaching doesn't get any better than this. Excellent!

Hi Jens Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this lesson. My understanding of jazz isn’t advanced therefore when I find a lesson that suits my needs I spend many many weeks analysing the detail and learning the lesson. I find I progress better if I fully understand everything before moving on. I have spent many weeks already on this lesson and will spend many weeks more. I have built backing tracks on GarageBand and then play arpeggios over the top, I love the sound. Yet so much more to learn before I move on. I find this true of all your videos, there is so much information and therefore so much enjoyment but I can’t keep up with all your videos therefore I select the ones that seem to fit where I am at the moment and study them. Thanks very much, so much of my understanding of jazz has come from your tuition.

Purchased the solo lesson a few days a go. Excellent. I feel like a Jazz cat now.

I've finally challenged myself to do this arpeggio connection exercise! It is bloody difficult, but it is proving to be the master key that you say it is (not that I doubted you). Really great way to really learn the fretboard.

I love how you connect the melody and the harmony to the chords. As I said in a previous comment, you have opened my eyes to a whole new world. Your lessons are amazing. Thank you so much!

I truly have learned so much from this one lesson. Your the man! thanks Jens

one of the best teachers i know on youtube. One lesson (as a beginner) can take me months to learn.

Thank you Jens ...can I just say as a trumpet player I have learned more about jazz from you than any other jazz teacher out there! 👏🙏

The Autumn Leaves with Arpeggios was amazingly helpful. I have a lot of work to do.

Jens, what a way to begin my Sunday morning, I saved this video awhile back, but until today I had a chance to check it out. Thanks, so well explained, like everything that you teach.

Jens can’t thank you enough for your excellent lessons, you’re one of the best guitar teachers on KZfaq. I’ve learned so much from your videos.

This video pulled a lot together from some of your previous lessons and made them very clear. Really good. Thanks again for all of this fantastic instruction. One thing I had to sort of bring out by watching again was that the target note is on the new chord in each case. That didn't become obvious to me until I watched this video.

All I can say is... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Jens, I had my first guitar lesson (after 30 years of playing!) yesterday and my teacher suggested exactly the same thing as you do here - connecting arpeggios together and created something musical. Wish I knew this stuff 30 years ago... :)

I don't have any question, this lesson it has too much work to do , un My level of knowledge it's enough for practicing , thanks Mr. Jens Larsen

i am a new subscriber and this is the first video i chose to do of Jens Larsen and not only does he have it available in tab there is a labrynth of learning here where as a metal playing guitarist there is no telling where i will end up. I have taken lessons from over 5 instructors over a 30 years and i am ready to enjoy the journey but it takes practice, practice, practice :)

This instruction is so helpful. Beginning with selection of a key, through these chord changes, in a tune that all guitarists should know - it's just beyond anything else for jazz guitarists available on the Internet. Jens: You are helping guitarists everywhere. Thank you!

This is probably the best Jazz improvisation lesson ever. Thanks a lot, I am playing a lot better now. Greetings from Brazil.

Thank you very much Jens!! You helped me to understand the importance of arpeggios for improvisation. I love Jazz but I'm a beginner even if I know the basics of harmony. These lessons are pure gold for me. Again thank you!!

thank you very much for this, im a rock n roll guy, i learned 1 or 2 jazz songs....i go to Japan, i met a great jazz piano player, we become friends..she wants to play with me, she said she loves to play this song, ive never heard it before..so i researched it, i found the chords in this key, wanted to learn to solo over it when i play with her.....this lesson is so awesome ! and will help me so much, GREAT LESSON ! wish me luck..keep on rockin, or should say, keep on jazzin my brother in music...MICHAEL

Probably the best lesson for jazz I’ve seen so far. Thank you 🙏🏾

What a timely lesson this is for me. I have been struggling through some challenging chord arpeggio exercises and this is so much more clear and useful. And a song I have already played dozens of times on gigs and not done justice to the solo.( playing by ear at the time...) Thanks Jens.

Your videos are the greatest treasure on KZfaq Jens. I'm working back through some of the older ones. Really enjoying your book too. Thanks

Great tip about resolving to the 3rd or 5th. I always hear people say to use the guide tones (3, 7), but resolving to the 7th often sounds weak. Even as a piano player there's still lots of great stuff in these videos. Thanks!

Thanks for a terrific lesson Jens. I’m just starting to learn about playing jazz and this is going to help me immensely. I’ve been practicing arpeggios but did not know how to start using them. Your lesson gives me a great starting point. Cheers!

Jens! That second exercise of connecting the arpeggios (nearest note) just blew me away. OMG! I get it now. A light bulb just went on over my head. That's it. You just took me to the next level of improvising. THANK YOU!

This lesson makes jazz theory a little clearer now. Thank you for helpful lesson.

Great teacher! Normally I don't like too much talking, but Jens is well worth listening to. Thanks!

Thank you Jens, this is a great lesson

1 thing I found difficult when I began to study jazz was the overwhelming amount of options chords voicing etc you have helped make that struggle a lot simpler. Thx

You are an incredible instructor Jens, and by far the best I've encountered. This is amazing stuff, and I can't thank you enough....!

I need to say Thanks!! It's the first time that I understad jazz soloing !! I'll KEEP seeing you videos!

This video explained something that I have been struggling with for years.

The poem analogy says it all for me, as a pretty average blues rock player I struggle with sounding jazzy but this advice of breaking it down into tiny flexibly useable nuggets is really helpful. Thanks!

Great lesson you. I like the way you break this song down. I really enjoyed this lesson

Your style of teaching really captivates.... especially exploring the arpeggios in a small confinement.... Cheers keep inspiring...!

Jens, I have said before and will say again that you have wonderful teaching, improvising and performance skills. You also are very kind to share these with KZfaq folk like me and many others. I wish you all the best in your future. Regards, David

This is perfect! This is the best way to break down a tune in my experience. Thanks Jens

Great lesson! Clear information, comprehensive! According to me you're one of the best teachers on the web.

Thank you for teaching these jazz lessons. I’m a beginner guitar player and really love the sound of your music. It is awesome to be able to learn from you !

Thanks for the lesson. Will be the next to learn!

You're a great teacher and musician!. Thank you!!

Tnx lot jens. Iv been playing and practicing for 4 year without any good feedback! !!!!! Litl by litl m feeling somthing is coming to a cross!!!!and thats just becuse of ur ........ . Tnx tnx tnx

Great explanation of target notes

Man that guitar playing 10 seconds into the video was really nice

one of the best teachers around. with tabs iv learned so much from this guy.

Excellent song with an excellent teacher! Great instructions and very clear and concise!

Genio total.muchas gracias por compartir todo ese conocimiento.

Thank you so much Jens. You have given me knowledge and also inspiration. Cheers! Michael

Hi Jens! I'm a learner from China.Your lessons are really really helpful to me. Thank you!

Man in three videos you are teaching one year of hard work at the conservatoire! Awesome

Absolultly brilllllliant expose' on fundamentals. Rock solid! Many thanks Jens. Please keep 'em coming.

I've learned so much just from this one video! Keep it going Mr. Larsen

God bless you Jens.

Great lesson. It actually put me in the right direction. I had no idea what to do but now I do.

Jens, thank you so much for the great video. You really understand what it takes to be a great teacher!

Thank you for your help sir. It made me to play more jazz guitar songs!

Thank you for a great lesson, Jens. Your breakdowns of the arpeggios, especially how you're not always starting from the root, have really helped me to open up my playing. Cheers ;)

By far the best entry door into the universe of jazz soloing, methinks Pedal to the metal Nail on the head Thanks Jens! Off topic: unable to make a 1 time donation to the cause on patreon Perhaps a “tip jar” would be a good idea? Cheers

This is actually a good lesson. I was wondering how to get into playing over the changes systematically. Thanks a lot. Maybe you should redo this one in higher quality and in a more organize fashion like you do now. Great lesson. Thanks.

Thanks for this Jens 👍🏾👏🏾

Thanks! a priceless lesson

As a bassist this really helped a lot! Thanks dude!

This is great. Thanks, Jens.

Thanks for another great lesson; I always find your videos clear, relevant and inspiring!

Damn that is a a ground breaking lesson for me... Thanks!

This is wonderful and easy learning. I really love them all. Keep it up. Show us more

Fantastic lesson Jen. It will provide me with months of practice material. Thanks!

appreciate this lesson! lots of good stuff for improving soloing over autumn leaves thanks

Thankyou Jens. I'm just starting to play Jazz. I've no idea how I will ever learn all those 10 arpeggios accurately. With them all in the same position, they all kind of blend into one. Its going to be even worse when i try to learn them all in different positions. I don't think my brain is capable ;-) thanks for a great lesson

This video changes everything

Great lessom!

What a great lesson. Best one I seen yet, about playing over changes, very informative,,keep them coming. Great teacher.

This is what i looking for. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much, you're the best teacher ever.

Outstanding. Such a good teacher you are. Cheers

Great tips! Great master.

Thank you Jens, it's a great video lesson, profoundly elaborated in such a way you exactly know what to do or what you could do. Subscribed!

Thank you for the amazing video

thanks for all

Great video Jens. I have really enjoyed a lot of your videos and they have helped me immensely filling in some gaps in my playing such as showing me voicings for diatonic seventh chords on the low E and A strings. These types of videos are a great insight into how to think about playing over changes. Thanks again.

Great lesson Jens! I'm a new subscriber and enjoy the lessons immensely. You present in a clear and concise way making the material easier to digest. Thank you! Definitely the best KZfaq instructor!

Sir Larsen, it's good you are doing these great jazz tutorials for both and regular jazz plays who the upcoming musicians who are trying to get a grip on the theory, keep these videos coming, maan its all great stuff1

This lesson made a great difference in my comprehension!!!

Very good class. I liked the practical approach as it is difficult to apply the theory to the songs Thanks

This is awesome Jens , great lesson , always learn a lot from your lessons , Love it !!!

Many thanks for sharing with us this wonderful lesson!!!

Thanks again Jens ...again another great lesson

Very cool Jens , I will be recommending your channel to my guitar students ...thanks very much .

Great lesson

I have the same guitar, bought new in 1978. Always been my favorite. Yours must be from around then I think, because they moved the pickup selector below the pickups in subsequent years. Great videos! Thanks

Very nice. Thank you.

This is right where I am as a guitarist, thanks! Subscribed.

Just found you... glad I did... 🏆

Loved that lesson. An oldie but a goodie

Hi Lens Im from Argentina I really enjoy yours vídeos thanks for sharing all your knowledge you are great
