Stop relying only on memorized licks and learn how to create your own jazz riffs directly from the harmony.
In this 26-minute Guided Practice Session, Frank Vignola uses “What Is This Thing Called Love?” as the musical setting for exploring chord-tone improvisation. You'll work with the notes inside the chords, combine them with rhythmic ideas, and learn how simple musical ingredients can become original riffs of your own.
The goal is to develop a process you can continue using beyond this single standard. By connecting chord tones with rhythm and applying the ideas directly to a real progression, you'll strengthen your ability to hear the harmony, create melodic phrases, and improvise with greater independence.
What You'll Practice
- Chord-tone concepts and examples
- Finding usable notes inside the harmony
- Creating your own riffs
- Developing rhythmic ideas
- Connecting riffs to chord changes
- Improvising over “What Is This Thing Called Love?”
- Applying concepts to a real jazz standard
- Guided practice and application
- Building more independent improvisational vocabulary
Ideas Today. Better Solos Tomorrow.
