His voice has a very pleasant sounding bass to it. I like the way his accent makes his voice go up and down too. But this combined with the nice chords he’s playing makes everything sound so fitting together.
Frank is probably the best teacher I’ve seen on RU-vid. So many go too quickly. Can’t see what their fingers are doing etc... he’s very good with the repetition and his instruction.
+William Rosas I totallyagree... I know lots and lots of teachers, and no one is better than him. Frank Vignola is great.

GREAT! Here in Brazil we have a lack of good teachers of chord melody, despite we have good guitar players performing this style. I´m glad to meet a teacher like you. It´s an amazing surprise. Congratulations!
Dear Mr. Vignola, thank you very much for your very clear and examplary pronunciation so it is also understandable for second-language speakers like me. (I am German)
I don’t see her what everyone can’t understand !!!🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️because your explanation is very very clear. You’re a great teacher 👨🏫👍👍👍👍👍 I learne It . And I am very happy 😃
Frank!!! Omg I didn’t see this before but wow you made a tutorial!! This is great. You put so much patience into this. Thank you! If you ever see this, know you’ll always be one of my favorite guitarists :)
How is it possible I didn't even know this guy? A friggin genius. Great playing, great teaching. As some have already written the two things don't always go toghether. Well, here they do ;) Thx.
I always have a problem with this lessons, if you want to learn jazz you at least have some guitar playing knowledge, and you know how to make some chords, and play, but the man explain the lessons like talking with a person that just take for first time a guitar. Im very glad about the online free lessons, its just a simple thought, thanks for the lesson of course !
Very good stuff! I want to explore this style of playing. Really don't know that much about it. Is it basically how to play jazz,is it more for just exercise?
Hi... I'm confused. Can come someone explain how in 1 area of the neck the chord fingering is a cmaj7 (:47) and then the same fingering at (4:46) is dm9? I mean if it's movable shouldn't the quality of the chord Major vs Minor remain the same? Either case we are strumming top 4 strings, right? Thanks. Must be missing something really simple 😕
depends on it's function in the chord progression one shape can have many names you can call that first chord Am9 or Cmaj7 and the one at 4:41 Dm9 or Fmaj7 (sorry if this was short and didn't make sense I got corona :v)
I have a question for anyone who can help me out here ! How is it that the chord at 4:42 he names a Dm9 when it is composed of notes F, A, C, E. I agree with a D in there it becomes a Dm9 but doesn't it act simply as an Fmaj7 ? Is it just a different way of thinking the chord progression ? Are both correct ? Can we name a chord after a note that is not present inside the chord ? For example also C6 9 that contains the A and the D that act as 6th and 9th but there is no C in there ! Can we call that a C6 9 anyways ? Thank you for great video !!! I love the way you teach. Peace !
for the first question : in many cases you can call a chord different names. Fmaj7 and Dm9 share the same harmonic sensation, called subdominant, because they have many notes in commom, so they are pretty much interchangeable. You can say Frank played Fmaj7 or Dm9, it would not be wrong. He chose to call Dm9 because then you would have a 2 - 5 - 1( Dm9 - G7(9) - Cmaj7) sequence, more familiar to the jazz harmonic language than a 4 - 5 - 1 ( Fmaj7 - G7(9) - Cmaj7). But then again in this case it´s only a question of preference. Second question: yes we can name a chord after a note that is not present inside the chord. It`s the case with the C (6/9) and the G7(9). Due to the fact that many chords share many notes in common, it`s like you said: It`s a way of thinking a chord that matters, not it`s "correct name". Cheers
I have a similar question at (:47) he calls that fingering CMAJ7 and then at (4:46) it's a DM9. Not sure how the "movable" shape changes quality from Major to Minor. I must be missing a subtle detail.
why are the first cmaj7 xx5557 and the last cmaj7 xx5558 both maj7? the first one is xx5557 and the last one is xx5558? isnt the last one a simple C major?
You've probably already found out by now, but it's a D'Angelico New Yorker I believe. Here's a reference: reverb.com/item/6072058-d-angelico-new-yorker-2006-violin-sunburst-thinline
@@quentinbohannon6611 I was talking about your "CHORD" vocabulary. Blues chords are cool, but Jazz chords add so much more to your ability to communicate musically. Take for instance a C chord. You have C major 7, Cmajor 9, Cmajor 6/9, Cmajor 11, Cmajor 13, C minor 9, C minor 7b5, C diminished, C augmented, C 13th, C minor major 7, C minor major 9, and many more!!! No my friend, I was not trying to step on your linguistic ability, by saying something was wrong with your vocabulary, I'm just suggesting stretching out and learning more about the "Language of Jazz". It's a good thing.😎
