About this course

TrueFire’s Live Plus series enhances the learning experience of select and previously recorded TrueFire Live broadcasts with high-quality video, video-sync tab and notation, looping, jam tracks, Guitar Pro files, and all of the other learning tools available in TrueFire’s desktop, mobile, and streaming apps.

In this episode of Live Plus: Jazz Soloing, Frank Vignola goes deeper and wider on the concepts and techniques presented in his Jazz Soloing Fakebook Vol. 1 & 2 courses. Using the same backing tracks he used in the course, all of Frank’s performances are fresh and original applications of his Jazz Fakebook principles — and they’re ALL tabbed and video-synced!

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 go Live Plus with Frank Vignola!

In A Mellow Tone
Frank Vignola is back in the studio with us today, an amazing jazz guitarist who's worked with Donald Fagen, Ringo Starr, Madonna, Tommy Emmanuel, and many more. In fact, Les Paul named Frank Vignola as one of his top five favorite guitarists in the Wall Street Journal.

Frank's one of the most prolific TrueFire educators, with over 30 courses to his name and his own TrueFire channel, The Jazz Studio. He's here to record his two newest projects, The Jazz Guitar Soloing Fakebook Vol. 1 & 2. We appreciate Frank taking a break from his never ending touring schedule to sit in with us, playing thousands of gigs around the world. Please join us in welcoming back Frank!

Another great Frank course!

Frank has such a relaxed and easily accessible style, both in playing and imparting his impressive knowledge. All his tips are going into my own playing where I can feel more like I know what I am doing.

Live Plus: Jazz soloing, Episode 01

A potpourri of imprompu lesons on solo lines, chord melodies, live performance tips and other useful information from arguably True Fire’s most experienced and consistently popular jazz guitar intructor. Frank is at ease and seems to have enjoyed making this one.
