Hello all, I thought I'd give a shout-out to my favourite contemporary jazz guitarist, Jens Thoresen.
I've been lucky enough to have been a student of his for a year while I was in Oslo.

Jens has just released a record with his band, eponymously titled "The Zone".

Jens is an absolute monster player. He taught me how to approach chord logic and apply my own systems, and more than anything, inspired me. Seeing him play always made me wonder what lay beyond the horizon. His left hand dexterity and economy is awe-inspiring, and he showed me that there was more to guitar than what people usually play.

Here's some fun snippets from Instagram, I highly recommend giving him a follow.

Jens Thoresen on Instagram: "A minute of <<Someday My Prince Will Come>> on my gorgeous new #prs509. I’ve really missed that strat tone with the neck and middle pickup combo. Here it’s even better with the neck in humbucker mode🤩🤩🤩. Loving this guitar 🎸. #prs509 #prsguitars #jazz #jazzguitar #jazzguitarist #chordmelody #somedaymyprincewillcome #jazzstandards #strymon #strymonengineering #strymonnightsky #strymonvolante #tworockamps #tworocktraditionalclean"
