DESCRIPTION:
Autumn Leaves is a great way to start improvising following the harmony because it's a well known tune and it still covers a lot of important cadences in a key. In this lesson Iw will go over a set of arpeggios in one position, some exercises, target notes and strategies for making solos where you can hear the harmony in the improvisation.

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.
