Turn the whole-tone scale from an abstract sound into a practical improvisational tool you can use over real jazz standards.
In these Guided Practice Sessions, Frank Vignola takes you through approximately 2 hours of focused study on the whole-tone scale—exploring its distinctive sound, how it creates tension, and how to resolve that tension musically. You'll work through 8 positions across the fretboard while developing a stronger understanding of where and how the sound can be applied.
The study then moves beyond scale practice into real musical application. You'll explore whole-tone ideas in the context of 3 jazz standards, giving you a practical framework for incorporating the sound into your improvisation rather than simply running scale patterns.
