Let's Learn Songs: "Sophisticated Lady" — Video Jam Version

Learn the Duke Ellington masterpiece "Sophisticated Lady" with Frank Vignola.

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

"Sophisticated Lady" is one of Duke Ellington's most elegant compositions, known for its beautiful melody and richly chromatic harmony. Frank breaks down the chords and melody while helping you develop harmonic awareness, smooth voice leading, and the expressive phrasing needed to bring this sophisticated standard to life.

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.
