Jazz Guitar 2-5-1 Positions You Must Know - A Frank Vignola Class & Jam 

I have played by ear for years. I knew a little about how chords were built but never put it together in my playing. A few weeks ago I saw a video about 2 note major and minor shapes. It made something click. It was simple. Same 2 note shapes for major and same for minor all over the fretboard. Then add the other notes off those shapes. Now I see Frank with this similar video but takes it a few steps further. I never watched Franks videos before. He such an advanced player that I figured it would all be over my head but he really takes the time to get down to the basics so some of us slower folks can grasp it. I subscribed to his channel today. Hopefully other people subscribe as well so we can keep getting this great info from Frank. I hope his channel succeeds so he can keep making more videos for us. Thank you

You are so good at explicit instruction, breaking down a complex idea into accessible components. Thank you!

This is gold! Thanks for posting this lesson.

What a great lesson!! Really helpful to see (hear) those flavors presented in such simple way . Just a small change in grip brings in the harmony.Thanks Frank!!!

Finally someone who shows you clearly and concisely how to do stuff......no convoluted blah blah blah ......just the straight dope .....consider me subscribed

this feels like the year i finally learn to play jazz and these videos you are putting out are a massive help towards that. Thanks so much!

Awesome Frank ! Thankyou for your continued generosity ❤🤍💙

I thought I knew it all, but these lessons are so jam packed with info I need twenty years on each lesson. Arigato, Furankusan フランク

Thank you very much indeed Mr Vignola! “Getting to simple” takes allot of careful attention and you’ve delivered that on a silver plater here. I’m one happy camper tonight.

Frank I cannot thank you enough for your teaching. You are gift to all of us Jazz lovers and wannbe Jazz musicians. Thank you!

I am an older fella trying to make sense of this wonderful instrument this is the first time that anyone has made the 2,-5-1so comprehensive for me thank you.

This video was so helpful.

Mr Vignola i knew you as a remarkable and broadly known guitarist, but now I see that you are a very talented teacher too...!!! Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge with us...!

Ive been studying this video every day for a week now, Thank you Frank, your'e gold.

Grazie Frank, grazie veramente! Un bacio dalla Sicilia

Thank you Mr Vignola, cool and accessible

Thanks Frank. So nice👍

U R THE BEST

This is a great lesson by a wonderful teacher. There's something I didn't get, though. Around 33:05 Frank introduces a 2 5 1 in a minor key (Am7 - D7 - Gm7). I don't understand, the ii chord shouldn't be Am7b5 instead of Am7 ??

I just had a breakthrough... thanks to you! You are the best!!

Thanks Frank. This is a really cool building block to add to my repertoire. Helps build a 3-note chord vocabulary that can be expanded as I get better.

Thank you Frank.

Excellent!! I missed you thanks

Very interesting

Wow thanks a lot Frank for sharing!

Thanks for the lesson!

Bella grazzi Frank! Maestro!

Dang! Just when I'm ready to give up on guitar and take up a tuba, this sweet lesson, makes what others made so complicated, Frank makes understandable and expandable. OK no tuba - for now.

Great Lesson! Very logical, chords and soloing go together.

Thank you for this knowledge ...🙏

This is great. That guitar is Sweet. Violin Style

Appreciate this super useful information!

Love it Frank. I have three of your Trufire lessons. This is a wonderful addition. Question. What are you using for the backing tracks here? Is it a program I can buy?

👍👍👍

Please share you use for your rhythm track. Thank you.

Thanks for the lesson Frank. The audio is abit muffled though.

I would benefit from seeing Cho d symbols or tab please

Frank. Is there a way I can get that great backing track you’re using? Thanks. Jim from Western PA

Hey Frank, what kind of drum machine base machine there are you using thank you

Frank, you and Steve Vai look like you could be brothers.
