Let's Learn Songs: "Blues for Ike" — Video Jam Version

Learn the Django Reinhardt Gypsy jazz favorite "Blues for Ike" with Frank Vignola.

As legendary guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli once said, "Everything you need to know about improvisation is in the songs."

"Blues for Ike" is a Django Reinhardt composition that blends the blues with the unmistakable rhythmic energy and character of Gypsy jazz. Its swinging groove and blues-based language make it a great vehicle for developing both rhythm playing and improvisation. Frank breaks down the chords and melody while helping you strengthen your blues phrasing, timing, and authentic Gypsy jazz feel.

This Video Jam Version takes you from learning the song to actually playing it with Frank. You'll learn the chord progression, master the melody, and then bring everything together in a Video Jam with Frank, putting the entire song into practice alongside him.
