Learning jazz can feel like climbing Mount Everest. Without oxygen. When I briefly studied at the conservatory myself, I learned a lot from analyzing old bebop guitarists like Charlie Christian. I never seemed to find the real focus though to take my playing to the next level, due to several circumstances. One of them was that I was quite overwhelmed. I wish I had @jenslarsenjazz as a teacher back in the day, whether face to face or online. Jens chops very valuable insights into digestible chunks, in a fun way. "I wish I had myself as a teacher," Danish-born, Netherlands-based Jens says jokingly. We had a very nice conversation about his path in life, music, jazz, and discovering the guitar. If you haven't checked out his channel (which you probably have): please do! youtube.com/@JensLarsen
