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.

Three things stood out - one - first time I have seen Richard Peña - and WoW what an introduction - that was a sweet gem of a lesson, two - I took lessons from Quist for about 18 months and he made more transformation in my playing than any teacher in my life, and three - it's so generous of you, Jens, to share other teacher's approaches. It's quite the community of cool, helpful people. All of your colleagues get a standing ovation. Thank you. 👏👏👏

I already subscribed to Jens', Sandra's and Chase Maddox' channel since some time and always find a lot of very helpful content. Lately I'm heavily focusing on learning tunes since in the past I've mostly been practicing scales and techniques but found myself lost and uncomfortable in jam sessions since needing the charts and real books of this world.. I also regularly check out Bruce Gregory and Rotem Sivan's channels. Thanks again to all of you for the great work. Safe travels and successful gigs Jens.

One technique that I "stumbled upon" early on in my jazz gigging days was to simply "finger" a standard chord voicing "that I already knew" and then just "play the highest notes of the chord" with my middle, ring and pinkie fingers. Sometimes, I would set the guitar pick on my music stand and use my index, middle and ring fingers for comping when there were many soloists. This "accidental hack" allowed me to comp in a relatively easy way and stay out of the sonic range of the bass player.
