Learn How to Solo Over 10 of the Most Popular Jazz Standards

The best way to learn how to play jazz is to learn how to play songs, and learning songs starts with learning the accompaniment, which you focused on in the Jazz Fakebook: Rhythm, Vol. 1. In that edition, you learned the chords, rhythms, and comping approaches for the jazz progressions used in 30 of the most popular jazz standards.

In this Soloing edition of the Jazz Guitar Fakebook from Frank Vignola, you'll learn how to solo over the first 10 jazz standards featured in the Rhythm edition: A Day in the Life of a Fool, All of Me, All the Things your Are, Bernie’s Tune, Blue Bossa, But Beautiful, Bye Bye Blackbird, Cherokee, Deed I Do, and Do Nothing Til You Hear From Me.

”For each of these 10 jazz standards, I’ll demonstrate and breakdown a simple melodic-based approach focused on chord tones and expression, an embellished approach adding chromatics and extensions, and then finally an advanced approach just like I would play myself on the bandstand.”

Frank will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Grab your guitar and let’s solo over some standards with Frank Vignola!
