The Most Important Scale For Jazz

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.

When I used to teach, I would always tell students 'Everything comes from the Major Scale.' Most times they would stare back at me in disbelief - as if to say 'How can something as boring as a Major Scale give rise to melody, chords, licks, riffs, solos et cetera ?' I asked the same questions too once. Thanks for the video Jens. You explain things very well. Cheers, Kevin.

Hey Jens, I have been following you for years and sometimes did not understand some of the videos you made. But this one is crystal clear and very well done. I guess I have also grown. I can see this is, at least a three or four year program that you are describing here. One thing that I would love your take on is the following: All of these things are perspectives that are true and complementary. But its so hard to combine them. Much like that rabbit that's also a duck, but you cannot see them both at the same time, I find when soloing, either I am using a scale, a mode, a triad. They all interlock, but are so hard to keep in front of the minds eye (or ear!) at the same time.

this was a real breakthrough for me! i was having a hard time understanding and visualizing what i should be practicing and how i should be thinking when approaching soloing over chords. in rock music you just play the minor or minor pentatonic scale in the key you're in and eventually you'll find something that sounds cool, but i was having issues with making sure i was playing the notes of the chord over the changes when trying to play along to jazz, it just wasn't sounding right. around 4:30 when you go over the chords as arpeggios it finally started clicking, it was an "aha" moment for me!

Dear jens First I wanted to say how much respect I have for your KZfaq videos This one is really particular as it touches on the core of the solo , the rights first tools a student must know before thinking to do more « special » things One thing is clear to me now (after many many years of learning jazz not seriously enough) is that a serious student must analyse the tune but also MUST know the progression by heart not only digitally but also know the chords sequence and the important moments (modulations or outside tonal center chords) in order to be capable to anticipate them and eventually hit a good/coloured note at the right moment This can only be achieved , to me, by not looking at the score , otherwise your brain is too busy with symbols and cannot be free enough to keep a decent timing and targeting these notes/moments/motives all at the same time. As an intermediate student I believe it is very important to learn the chords sequence , eventually by reading it while listening to a recorded version but without the instrument I am almost sure that you did a video on that To summarise , jazz is being in the moment but involving also your memory of what will come next harmonically and rhythmically Thank you for Barry tips , I will practice that with some chromatismes as you suggested Brgds

If I’m doing things, right, I feel like everything is just a variation on the C major/ a minor scale😁😁😁😁😁😺😺😺😺😺 the videos that I worked on, especially that first year, were mostly in the key of C and I flat out was completely lacking in the skills of just finding a, B, C, D, E, F, G! From there, it’s just a matter of associating all those letters with not only single notes, but thirds, the triad, the seventh cord arpeggio, the sixth, the shell… lastly, being able to position these sounds that I now know, on the third of the chord, the fifth, the seventh… :-)

The major scale is the most important one. But finally, there are really only 9 scales to master thoroughly to cover 99% of the jazz standards. And I'm not talking about modes. Scales are the foundation of music. Remember that the bebop approach, building melodies from the chords, is only one style and view. Relating to music theory: bebop uses essentially harmonic motifs, which is only one part of the melody construction story.
