Guided Practice Sessions: Jazz Standard Deep Dive — “If I Had You” | Melody, Voice Leading, Blues & Minor-Key Improvisation

Take a deep dive into “If I Had You” with Frank Vignola and use this timeless jazz standard to develop stronger melody playing, voice leading, blues language, and minor-key improvisation.

Frank begins with the tune itself, breaking down the form and melody before exploring the harmony and the voice-leading connections that hold the progression together. From there, you'll discover how blues language can be brought naturally into the song and how to develop improvisational ideas over its minor-key harmony.

Rather than treating each concept as a separate exercise, this Guided Practice Session brings melody, harmony, blues vocabulary, and improvisation together inside a real jazz standard—helping you understand the music more deeply and turn those ideas into practical playing skills.
