Күн бұрынWhat Makes Bebop sound amazing is not the notes, it is the melodies and the phrasing! In this video, I'll show you some of the most important things to learn to get the Bebop sound into your playing using first triads and enclosures but then moving on into some Amazing Barry Harris concepts!

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.

@@JensLarsen When I was an Undergraduate, we learnt enough Harmony (Diatonic, Chromatic and Serial) to kill an Ox. We hardly ever learned any practical rhythm.

Django Reinhardt might not be the first name that comes to mind when talking about Bebop but listening to his way of making beautifully tasty melodic lines over just one chord is really a masterclass in Jazz and Bebop. His mastery of constructing MELODY and relying on it to the core gave him an enormous amount of freedom in what to do harmonically as well, it's almost like magic. He is not mentioned as influential as Charlie Christian in Bebop context but there's just as much of Django in Wes' playing (Octaves, Minor 6 Diminished) as there is of Charlie Christian.
@bonusfat110 7 ай бұрын
youre absolutely correct. theres definitely 2 schools of jazz guitar playing today. jens addressed it indirectly - those who think scales will make music and then those who reverse engineer melodies to understand the approach and reuse the infinite amount of approaches out there. a lot of the successful jazz guitarists like you mentioned, Wes and Joe Pass followed Django and that primarily aural tradition of jazz. Playing some Django-Reinhardt Coleman Hawkins era stuff and transcribing them, youll see a lot of the "modern approaches" like substitutions. were they the pioneers? mmm we dont know. we dont care. its beautiful and accessible to be digested by us all. if you listen to modern day "gypsy jazz" players like angelo debarre and adrien moignard(which im sure you already do), a lof of their lines are "bebop". to be honest, its gotten to the point where players who follow suit to those guys such as myself cant even purposely distinguish whether the lines we play are deemed "bebop" or "gypsy jazz" anymore. the only difference is on how the rhythm section of the ensemble accompanies the soloists. cheers man! your comment got me thinkin TIME TO SHED =D

@@bonusfat110 Si vous écoutez les derniers disques de Django (ceux d'après guerre où il joue de la guitare électrique et est accompagné par des gens comme Martial Solal ou Maurice Vander), vous entendrez qu'il avait écouté ses collègues du bop et repris pas mal de plans 100 % bop. Il y a une grande différence entre le Django de l'époque du Quintet du Hot Club de France et le Django des derniers disques (comme il y a une grosse différence entre le Django qui a enregistrés les titres "ouverts" et "flamenco" sous les titres "Improvisation N° 1, 2; etc" et le Django des enregistrements alimentaires avec des chanteurs parfois pénibles). En France, il y a pour Django dans les héritiers, les imitateurs souvent très doués (Tchavolo, Romane Angelo Debarre,...), ceux qui ont incorporés d'autres choses (Boulou Ferré la musique de Tristano, Rafael Fays avec le jazz fusion et le Flamenco, Christiane Escoudé ou Bireli Lagrene avec un peu tout,,...) et ceux qui ont été très influencé par le be bop et/ou Jimmy Raney et chez qui il ne reste pas grand chose du jazz manouche (le remarquable René Thomas, le peu connue Mailhes,...)

This is interesting for me to watch as I learned to play this style more by copying rhythmic phrases and an chromatic embelishments from records than by practicing scales or arpeggios or transcribing. I can testify that it's a very effective way to capture the bebop sound with fairly simple harmonic ingredients.

Excellent video Jens. I think it's interesting that as a trumpet player I'm pretty much forced into pivot arpeggios whether I like it or not because of the limited range. I discovered this for myself pretty early on: when I ran out of range I'd just use a pivot to get me back down again. Then I started hearing it everywhere in bebop and the penny dropped. Funny how we can arrive at the same destination by very different paths.

The diatonic above/chromatic below is something that no one ever taught me, either in private lessons, or when I was a jazz performance major. Simple but effective idea, and it can be applied outside of a jazz context. something I wanted to mention, and I don't know how it will be received, either it will be ignored, or others will hammer me for it. I was watching your videos from the first year you started. It was refreshing, because there weren't any of the distracting gimmicks and trying to be humorous. It was just no BS, straight information on the subject at hand. It was much easier to take in, and seemed more professional, even if the production quality wasn't as slick and glossy. Take it for what you will, but I think I prefer your earlier videos without the gimmicks. You're a great teacher, and have top notch content, I just find all the editing tricks distracting.

Well done! I can totally relate with what you've said in this video. I''ve always hated scales too! My lines would sounds so dull. When I decided I wanted to try to improvise on chord changes, I thought that the first step would be to master 7th's arpeggios. But it was too complicated, so I skipped the 7th, and I had the triads. But then it was too hard to improvise with so few notes and I added the enclosures :) Then I used the non-diatonic notes to join the dots :) I'd love to have a teacher, but I'm always so scared to find someone who just tell me to learn scales, when I just need someone who can make me progress on the path I've created myself...

This is the second video on improv that I've heard the term "enclosures" used. It's a very cool way to describe it. And like you mentioned there are other terms used for it. In Classical Theory I remember the device being called "changing tones" Many years ago I got to Jam with Rich Matteson and he called it "rotation." Another cool term. And of course there are the terms used by Slonimsky and Yuseff Lateef in their books, which are cool but overly complicated.

A compliment like that from Paul Simon is worth more than gold.

You’re such an amazing teacher! I love how you can break things down into digestible bits. I’m a bass player (boo, hiss 😂)and I think you’re my favorite jazz educator !
