Implanting arpeggios in my fingers did wonders for my ears. Three years ago they were a hassle, now they are like having the keys to the castle.

Thanks for the great lesson and providing subtitles, it's easier to understand for me since English is not my primary language, you explained it very well and deserves more subscribers. Keep making great content Jens!

Jens, I love how your lessons are geared to different skill levels. It's nice to be able to pick up a few things from even a basic lesson like this. Thanks!

The second half of this video is fascinating, I'm not sure I've seen this information (set up this way) before. I learned another version of the diatonic chord scale with the root notes moving from strings 6-4 in a box. C-6, d-6, e-5, F-5, G-5, a-4, B-4, C-4. The scales and arpeggios were all built from the same major scale pattern working up through the box. Just a different approach but it set up several different chord shapes and emphasized the shifting intervals in the different scales. My teacher at the time felt staying in a playable box was a very efficient way to learn and play for a beginner, I was just sitting in the chair and I did what he told me to do... 😎. Thank you as usual for all your time and insights

Great vid!

I was always upset that I could play the non-inverted or dropped voicing M7 shape, but couldn’t play the equivalent m7 shape. I wrote it off as being impossible to play unless I had a very small scale neck, but here I see you playing that shape along with the dom7 and diminished7 shapes too. I’m as impressed as I am jealous hahaha.

Jens Larsen In addition to playing with a metronome, it is helpful for students to learn to play their scales along with live comping. And, I wouldn’t be much of a musician if I couldn’t pay attention to a duet part while I play. Perhaps less attention is available when I am playing my part (I am not giving them my full attention). But, they are paying me for experiences beyond just learning scales. Once they’ve learned their scales, they should learn to do something with them right?

@JensLarsen

Sure! You should teach the way you want to teach. To me your (original) comment sounds like a teacher trying to entertain himself in the lesson while the student plays scales, but that's just how it sounds to me of course and that does not have to be the case. My students don't really lack opportunity to play together with me or use their scales in the lesson, so that is not a concern anyway.

That depends on the context, mostly the key of the piece. Often it follows what chord would be there in the key if it is not a diatonic chord, but that is not always the case.
