I enjoy listening to jazz guitar, but I’m not that good at playing it. I’ve been looking at a lot of the courses from Truefire.com and this is a video from Frank Vignola’s course called 50 Jazz Guitar Licks You MUST Know.
In this lesson he teaches you a great sounding Jazz guitar lick that takes a little bit of practice to get right. I hope you enjoy it.

thats kind of the point… this lesson is for intermediate and above not for extreme noobs.
if you cant learn this by watching or listening then you need a one on one teacher to get you to a level in which you can see his [ franks] hands and know where and what he is playing.One cant start at the end of the book and work backwards, you build up your skill level over time . Play with other people too, there is always someone who knows more that you can pick stuff up from. use your ears,not tabs
great tone
lol i give up on this one. he’s going too fast. when your expert at anything, you forget how to break things up in simpler or slower terms for beginners. he should have went oe note at a time for us EXTREME noobs.
EXCELLENT THANKS
Love your music. I’m not a guitar player, I’m a sax player. Transposing your licks through all keys is a great workout and warm up on the horn! Thanks!

I really need that back track!!
thats a hell of a headstock
can you put these videos in slow motion, I can never see what hes doing
I HIGHLY recommend Frank’s “Jammin’ The Blues” book/CD published by Mel Bay. Great “bop” oriented lines play at two tempos over various jazz/blues progressions. Pay attention to the 8th measure! Learning these blues based progressions is the ideal stepping stone into jazz. In fact, it’s essential.
Just love these licks and I would like to purchase the course. However before I do I need to know how long are each of the backing tracks that go with them. I would need the backing tracks to go on for at least 5 mins or longer and they would need to be on a CD. I perform jazz guitar with jazz backing CDs and I would like to do the same with these. So are they lengthy backing tracks and on a CD. Presumably there are two speeds as well. If all this is satisfactory then I’ll purchase.
I just lost a staring competition to this guy
I like this dude.Great player.Great teacher.
8 people never see a guitar in life or got no gray matter!!
Would someone kindly let me know how long are the backing tracks that you get with these licks? There are two speeds and I would like to know how much time do I get to spread out and play/jam on them. If we get at least 5min or more then I might purchase the course. Thanks.
So….SOOTHING!
I felt like a swingin’ cool cat when I played this lick
Frank is a great player and teacher. Check out his book/CD on standards. He writes contrafacts over the “standard” progression. His melodies equal the original and you can jam over them at two different tempos. Great stuff!!
@jamesdancer73 Dude, just don’t say things like that. I like all styles of music, which includes BOTH Heavy Metal and Jazz. You shouldn’t judge somebody by genres, that’s ignorant.
@mattdd05 Exactly. Jazz is a highly formulated style, though, ironically natural at the same time. I wasn’t born on jazz myself… so it comes to me different… but the more i listen to it, the more natural it gets. Like reading is the most important part in being a good writer, listening is most definitely one of the most important aspects in being a good musician.
@MikeTheGuy00 Yeah good point I’m trying to learn jazz too, it’s hard cuz of the key changes and all the different chord types. Getting away from the pentatonic scale is hard, and so is trying to use the notes in the chord in a solo.
@mattdd05 Well, the music itself isn’t… but the theory is more advanced. I’m simply exaggerating things.
@Jfly7814 Insanly ignorant and stereotypical.
He looks like Leonardo..Inter Milan Coach
hi, thanks for the lesson. I am really thinking about buying your lessons, but will there be tabs in it? I am trying my best to get all the information by ears but sometimes it is just to hard. so will there be tabs to some of the licks?
so he learned it from barney kessell AND billy mitchell?
Great exercise. I had to try for 15 minutes, but finally I accomplished.
I uploaded the vid on my profile, so you can check it.
It made a little improv as well, I played one note outside the key, but I think it will sound okey, not sure. Thx for the licks
at last someone who can teach and play really well i have taken so much from these clips thanks
@TrueFireTV Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me how long is each of the jam tracks? Do we get a long 10 min track to work out with. Are the tracks at one speed (like the ones we hear in the video) or separate speeds. Is it possible just to purchase the jam tracks by themselves as I’ve learnt most of the licks? Do the tracks come on a CD and could I buy the above track along with the Frank Vignola tracks all on one CD. Now that would be amazing and helpful to my jazz tuition.
@jmsbk12345 All the jam tracks come with the download of the full course. Just click the link in the description!
Would someone kindly let me know how I can purchase these very same backing tracks that you hear Frank using in these jazz licks videos? Thank you.
@strabbs1 you have to try your best to mute the strings you don’t want to play.
with your left hand, you have to try to mute with fingers that aren’t fretting. and with your right hand, you can palm mute notes that aren’t being used.
I would suggest practicing scales with as much gain as possible (slowly!) and trying to stop those unwanted notes from ringing. you want high gain because any open strings that ring out will be amplified, so it helps you because you can hear all of your mistakes.
0:59 PURPLE HAZE
Great lick but I prefer to play it all in one position at the 7th fret just as smooth.
5 people don’t know their scales…..
After watching these videos, I attempted slipping a few of these licks into some blues solos at a gig. Audience minds = blown.
Thanks for the lesson .. Cool lick…..I’ll check out more …
@dunksnotpead or be even less lazy then that and learn to read Music.
Great voice!
hmm i tried playing these on my guitar.. it sounded alot different.. then i realized.. i was playing on a strat.. xD
Where can I get these Jazz tabs?
Where can I get these a Jazz licks tab?

METALLICA
