Warm Up with Frank: Build Your Major 7 Riff Toolbox

Turn the major 7 sound into a toolbox of riffs, variations, and musical ideas you can use in real jazz playing.

In Build Your Major 7 Riff Toolbox, Frank Vignola takes one of the most important sounds in jazz and shows you how to turn familiar major 7 shapes into practical vocabulary. You’ll explore lick ideas, rhythmic variations, and different ways to develop simple material so it becomes useful for improvisation rather than just another fretboard exercise.

The goal is to build a collection of ideas you understand well enough to change, combine, and make your own.
