How do you mostly use melodic minor? Tonic Minor is beautiful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er2CdK2m0LXLhH0.html

Every week you produce a lesson that takes me months to absorb, that is, if I absorb it at all. I find it very tricky to take all of this great theory and actually start sounding like you're applying it. Can't thank you enough!

I can't thank you enough Jens. You're the best.

You’ve outdone yourself. All your lessons are outstanding but this one is masterful.

That's so nice to a lead up to a sax, where it provides the beginning to the punch, sweet!, would love to hear you utilize with someone, always learning from you, Big Thanks!

The thing I love about melodic minor is that as there are no avoid notes there are plenty of options in terms of playing triad pairs. Also since there are pairs of adjacent major triads, diminished triads and minor triads they can be fairly easy to figure out. Plus the augmented triad is a really easy way to add the essence of the melodic minor sound into any line.

Brilliant and so well presented, 🙏🏼 Great tune for this. Also, Stella🔥

This lesson raised my level a lot, a game changer for me... Really thanks a lot Mr. Larsen.

To this point I feel I owe you money, Jens. Great lesson!

As usual, very interesting and well explained lesson, thank you very much, Jens. Happy 2021!

I see your 'Harsch' and raise you a 'Plotz' which is what I nearly did when you revealed the Take The 'A'' Train connection with Bernie's Tune!! Great info packed lesson. Thanks Jens

So much info. I had forgotten your style due to limited data. Thanks for your knowledge!

So well done as always! Learning the ins and outs is very important!

This lesson, somehow, slipped by me. Good one J!

Always the best lines and advice, Jens!

Thank you very much Jen 😍😘😘

Learning so much. Thanks, Jens

I use melodic minor most in my alterations of the vocal melody of Cornell songs.

Great vIdeo. Thanks

Very practical and informative Jens - I can apply these ideas well to what im working on. Also, the new graphics are super.

Whats up jens, good to see you. Great lesson

Very very helpful, thanks 🙂

Great video! Could you possibly do a similar video on harmonic minor and harmonic major? Cheers!

For fanden!

"for fanden.." 😅👌

Harch, for fanden 🥴 ❤️

I find this video most complex and difficult to understand do you have another one on melodic minor but more straightforward for dummies like me thanks

I played A harmonic minor over the D minor B flat dom7 and it worked for me as an improvisational tool. I liked it because the G# is in the melody and the scale. I thought ( maybe incorrectly) as the Dminor is the minor IV chord in A harmonic minor and Bflat is a tri tone sub for E7 this could work. I then went to D melodic minor and D harmonic minor for the II/V. Am I making up my own rules here or simply just wrong?

What chords do you use when playing Melodic Minor? is it only a Dominant 7 added#5 chords? I have heard to use the melodic minor by starting on the 5th, so if you're in the key of A minor you play the E Melodic minor. I'm not sure why Jazz composers will use the 5th to start the melodic minor scale over a different root chord.

A very harsh video Jens! 👍😂

At one point in the video (2:30) you mention that on a tritone substitution on the fifth of the fifth in key of Dm, then F melodic minor is used. Certainly no argument from me, but where does that come from?

In Boston we say HAHSH.

🎉🎉🎉

I get it, but Bb7 is not really functioning as a tritone of the dom of the dom. Bb7 is that, in the minor 'key', but that's a real clunky abstract way to think of it and besides the point IMHO. It's function is very clean and basic as a chord 4 that functions in a blues in the relative major F, also as it appears in bars 3 and 4 of the form. The 2 and 4 should always be dominant (or minor) in your mind (lydian/chromatic) and as a Bb dom 7th the note Ab just makes F major into F minor melodic, but it's better to think of the dominant function for Bb in F, and just add the dominant seventh when you need it, relating it back to the major or a blues in F. The inverted way that Bb functions is as a minor with Db, relating it back to an F harmonic major - like Stella plays with F and Bb. The 2 chord is also functioning either minor or dominant, so Cm for Bb, and G7 for Bb. The 2-5 in F.

Всё гораздо сложнее

As a guitar player practicing jazz i sometimes wonder, is it only for me like, who would want to hear it then? People In General dont listen to jazz. I practice other stuff too. Jazz is not an essence of every style of music. I wonder why is Jens only playing this still of music? I see this channel is deedicated to jazz, but theres so many other styles, why be a puritanist? What brothers my is jazz community is often times despising other styles of music. Why is that?

Hasch. xD

Mr.Jens, I like your videos but you talk way too fast! Would you please talk slower ? Thanks a lot.
