Warm Up with Frank: The ii–V–I Rhythm Workout

Build a stronger rhythmic foundation while getting one of jazz guitar’s most important progressions under your fingers.

In The ii–V–I Rhythm Workout, Frank Vignola guides you through practical rhythm and comping exercises built around the essential ii–V–I progression. You’ll strengthen your time, develop a more natural comping feel, and practice moving through ii–V–I shapes across the fretboard.

The goal is to make the progression feel automatic—so you can spend less time thinking about where the chords are and more time focusing on rhythm, feel, and making music.
