II V I - You Need To Practice This For Solos

"Than it wont look like you're just noodling in a scale" That hit close to home, damn.

You’re the bravest jazz teacher on YouTube. No lies. No gimmicks. You do break it down as easy as can. You have mad teaching skills. But thank you for not making money off of lies. Playing jazz is hard. Thank you for doing all you can - without lying about it. “Learn BeBop in 10 min” might make you money and give me hope. To new players reading this I would say 1.) if you can’t follow Jens “you’re not reeady” 2.) if you can follow him. He’s the most thorough base (not basic) level teacher. He represents the fundamentals that make jazz playing. Maybe Jazz 101 and Jazz 201.

I rely heavily on my ear and have never seen such a clearly stated lesson on what I’m missing out on. My noodling days are numbered! Can’t thank you enough for this eye opener!

As a straight-ahead rock player, seeing "Bø" scared the shit out of me. Errybody gangsta till the chord chart gets scandinavian.

You, Frank Gambale and YouTube’s Steve Stine have done more to elucidate soloing than any other teachers I’ve worked with.. thank you so much for the time and effort you make for these videos.

Another template for excellence Jens. This lesson should be taught to ALL musicians not just the jazz players, in my opinion.

I dont know why most Jazz teachers cant just explain this as easy as you . Im a blues, country, rocker and would like to jazz up my playing. I notice a lot of teachers overwhelm you with stuff all over the neck that you may never use. (at least not at first) Great job!

This channel has been doing wonders for progressing my practical theory.

These are the best jazz lessons on YouTube

This man is a blessing on YouTube! Never give up God will reward you brother.

I studied jazz with Barry Harris in High School (in 1979 and 1980) - I hear he is still around! Learned more about jazz from him than anyone I ever met! Great video!

Thanks a lot, Jens! I am one of those people who learns stuff without any teachers, and you help me greatly in my path.

It’s cool how your educational videos have become more and more refined over the years... I find a lot of the same ideas as are in your older videos but it feels even clearer. “Basic” yet potent. Fundamentals that are always worth returning to. Thanks for sharing your mastery with such precision!

This is just such a good overview of jazz soloing ideas. Thanks Jens. You add so much value to so many lives with your work. Hope you are well.

Absolute 24kt gold. Thank you for giving away some of the most important information that a working guitarist can utilize immediately.

Hi Jens, just wanted to express how grateful I am for your lessons, you explain things so thoroughly and I really appreciate that. I have played Rock, Metal/Shred and Blues most of my life but recently really started getting into Jazz, and developing a whole new love and appreciation for the genre and it's wonderful players such as yourself. I study from books and cd's but your lessons are just as important to me. Thank you so much!

Jens, you are simply the best jazz guitar teacher on the Web. Thank you for the amazing lessons and the work you put in to make them accessible for beginner jazzers. 🙏👍❤️

Ive been watching your videos all day and I realize you have organized my knowledge and presented these concepts in such a clear Way many questions have been answered. Thanks.

Words cannot express how helpful this video has been for me. Thank you for putting this compact overview together. You are not only an excellent player but a great communicator and teacher. ❤

Wow, how in the world did I miss this awesome lesson when it first came out?? Thank you Jens for doing this for us!! It's a fantastic lesson and it's just what I needed!!
