Guided Practice Sessions: Build a Swing Solo from Simple Riffs | Major Blues, Minor Blues & “Take the A Train”

Turn simple riffs into complete swing solos through three practical musical applications.

In this Guided Practice Session, Frank Vignola shows you how small, manageable riffs can become the building blocks for confident improvisation. You'll develop simple riff concepts and learn how to expand, connect, and apply them instead of relying on long memorized lines.

Work through three different musical settings—major blues, minor blues, and “Take the A Train”—to see how the same riff-based approach can work across different sounds and situations. Guided practice and jamming help you take each concept from an exercise into real improvisation.
