JAZZ GUITAR VIRTUOSO: Frank Vignola – a life built around Guitar

Jazz guitar virtuoso – Frank Vignola – shares his insights on the importance of rhythm guitar, the joy of teaching music, and the connections formed within the music community. He reflects on his personal journey with the guitar, the pressures of performance in the digital age, and the rekindling of friendships through music – after a near death accident.
