About this course
This edition of TrueFire's Swing Rhythm Camp features Frank Vignola and Marcy Marxer. Originally broadcast live, the Swing Rhythm Camp focuses on a variety of techniques and creative approaches for jazz swing rhythm and comping. Expanding on core concepts from their TrueFire library, Frank and Marcy present new variations, more advanced techniques and additional applications to enhance your swing rhythm.
Marcy Marxer's series focuses on developing a relaxed swing feel, a swingin' 16-bar jazz blues progression, and some ways to add variation to your swing comping. Frank Vignola's series will introduce two new options for incorporating a walking bass line into your swing rhythm, as well as a couple great comping approaches for the jazz standard "I'm Beginning to See the Light".
The course includes all of the studio, on-location, and live-streamed video lessons, backing tracks, Q&A sessions, and prep materials presented before and during the live Swing Rhythm Camp.
Frank and Marcy 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.

Introducing Marcy Marxer
To start things off, we have someone who's no stranger to TrueFire, Marcy Marxer, who's done so many amazing courses. She's a multi-instrumentalist who plays ukulele, mandolin, and of course she's an incredible guitarist. Let's say hello to Marcy!
Swing Primer Techniques
Before we get into the variations, Marcy will take us through a Swing Primer, taken from her course Swingin' Rhythm Handbook. We'll do a recap here, then we'll get into the lesson and variations coming up next.
Swing Primer
This lesson is all about building the fundamentals of swing. Here we will work with a lot of the important left and right hand techniques that you need to get playing swing rhythms down.
Take your time as you work through these lessons as we don't want you to miss any of the building blocks or you might end up stuck in a swingin' rut.

Left Hand
Most guitar players work on stretching and coordination for the left hand. We're going to add relaxation to our keys for coordination and longevity.
Remember, if your left hand looks uncomfortable, it probably is uncomfortable. It's also easier to dampen the strings we're not using with a relaxed left hand technique.

Right Hand
Let your right wrist loosely hit the strings. Your right hand and arm should feel like you're shaking out a dish rag. The action should be quick and use a swipe wide enough to reach all six strings and no further with no wasted movement.
Relaxed Swing Feel
For the variations that we're going to do, we'll take the chord positions for "Honeysuckle Rose" and then the chord positions for "I've Got Rhythm", keeping our relaxed swing feel.
