Great to see you're better!! Your a marvelous musician and jazz artist! Thank you for your posts. I listen to your 'Burnin' album and it still astounds me. Your command of the instrument as well as your tasteful ideas are an inspiration!
Wonderful video series you're doing here, continuing to share your artistry, replete with $288 royalty check. Reminds me that main drive behind any art has gotta be the passion.
Back home from school one summer I think I saw you play at a festival at Navy Pier in Chicago. You were sportin' a Fro plaing guitar for a very famous Jazz drummer. Any chance it was you? I to play at nursing homes and I did an exercise piece you did for the magazine Guitar Technique. It was only 30 seconds but I loved it. When I was approached and asked about it by the folks, it as an opportunity to say "The reason you liked me playing was because of the writing and that is the great Jimmy Bruno". Iam not a Jazz player but I had to learn it and then tell people about you. You made me look GOOD! THANKS
Yes, Basil is terrific as Sherlock, and if you enjoy him, then there is another BRIT Sherlock Homes that you would also really enjoy.... :Jeremy Brett.... He is also the other "best". Here he is, if you have a minute. .. (see link below.) - th-cam.com/video/3UOTIW83oXs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tour. I enjoy seeing an artist's work space and seeing where the magic is being made. Surprised to see a Quilter combo amp, honestly. But they do sound good and have a long history of popularity in the Southern California area, but I didn't realize that Maestro Bruno would be playing one out on the East Coast. I have a Quilter Mini 101 (head) and it has plenty of clean head-room for jazz guitar applications. But I prefer my little Fender Vibro-Champ combo amp because the tube rectifier makes it "warmer." I was expecting to see rows and rows of guitar cases, but maybe these are in storage. Thanks again for an intimate look into your man-cave.
Jimmy, I noticed something but wanted to confirm. When you walk up a 3 note voicing, like you do at 2:00 here from Abmaj to Cminor, when you get to the Bbminor, are you able to hold down both the 4th and 3rd strings with just your ring finger? That's fucking hard to do!
I miss these videos. I've been watching Jimmy here for years (new TH-cam account for me). Loved waking up and having coffee while getting some expert knowledge thrown my way. Even a life lesson or two. Best wishes to you and your family as we round the corner into the 2022 holiday season, Jimmy!
Jimmy... I suspect you know more than most.... how about you set up a proper teaching channel and we will subscribe to buy your amazing knowledge . Thank for your honest And so down to earth approach!
Jimmy --I for one thank you for your time in making these informative and entertaining videos, sharing your incredible insights, and your candid way of treating us like we are in your home talking about what we all love, guitar playing! In your home, we all should respect you! I am here with a wide-open mind because you KNOW about guitar and the music business better than any of us do! Thanks for everything!
Awesome rendition of Donna Lee! I'd love to see a metal player attempt that!lol I couldn't agree more about Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, they were the coolest Holms and Watson Ever.
I love his honest, non political-correct approach to life. Respect Mr. Bruno. BTW I used to enjoy your playing in Philly, many years ago when my daughter in UA. Salud.
Funny, I know the line, can play the line at your slower speed, really like the line, don't use a pick, but when I HEAR you play it, it sounds like a brand new tune. But you probably learned it without having it written.
What the fish doesn't have a name ? C'mon . Very grateful to be able to watch these home movies you have made jimmy . Thank you so very much . You make it look easy . 😅 ❤👍
This channel is so entertaining and charming. Jimmy (if you are reading), you remind me so much in your playing and attitude of the musicians from the 1940s and 1950s. I did a double take when I Googled you and realized you are two years younger than Scofield and Frisell :). I love your wit and commitment to such a great era of songwriting and jazz playing. I'm sure you have plenty of other dimensions and personal / musical interests that are not all obvious on your youtube videos, but you've got a great combination of wry and lively personality and musical wizardry in these videos.
Man, I always feel like a weirdo for not gravitating toward other guitar players. The only ones that get me are the ones that do a lot with a little, like Bickert and Joe Pass. Glad to hear I'm not the only self loathing guitarist!
Jeremy Brett, greatest Sherlock Holmes, If you are a fan of Holmes you must see his version, I think he did all the cases in the books. Google Images for your first clue if you've never heard of him. I'm jealous, you actually have something to watch on the boobtube.
Time for me to get the Jimmy Bruno "thang", then off to sleep. Hey Jimmy, how's that album comin' along that you were talkin' about? I have to tell ya, of all the stuff I've listened to by you , I really dig the "SOLO" album.. great songs and such beautiful guitar playing. I love it all, but straight guitar, is my favorite.
Ahh too bad. But yeah, it's gotta be fun. Something that you're enjoying. Otherwise why bother.. You've paid your dues. You're at a point in life where ya should just do what you want. I have a similar studio set up.. It's nice to have the option to record. OR NOT.
There is a love ballad in that phrase, "I seem to have lost interest....." It could be both about falling out of love with a woman AND a severely devalued savings account after major economic collapse. Fine romance? Lost another one. Net worth? It ain't a large sum. Solo guitar? I pick with my thumb. I seem to have lost interest, In you. Apologies to Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, and Johnny Mercer.
No Pressure regarding the tune. I use a program called Transcribe! that helps me figure out the chords your playing. Helps but but does not give me a definitive answer. It's been great for developing my ear and I highly recommend it. I don't need to see your hands ( though it helps ) to figure out what your doing.
@@JimmyBrunoJazz I saw Joey DeFrancesco when he was 13 at the Settlement music School on Germantown Ave. with Grover Washington Jr. MCing and playing with Pieces of A Dream. Joey stole the show...he was a freak...a little kid bent over his organ with the wildest, in the pocket bebop lines just flying out of his fingers. Unbelievable! Of course he went on to become the great player that he was...RIP.
Back in college when someone was really dumb we’d called them a bozan (pronounced bough-zon). That’s a combination of a bozo Nd a moron, Feel free to steal it. Ps loved the tour I got your slobbery beat
Thanks fot that 13 chord a few weeke ago. Having fun with it. I grew up in Glenside so I'm in the minority who get your humor/sarcasm. Sounds like your chops came back strong!
Upstairs is fine. That's my wife's area... she never come down here .. she gets violently ill...she hate my area...true as can be.. LOL. Where's all the clutter... I love that
😎 I pretty much live down here, but actually my wife comes down to watch the big TV with me after dinner (we rarely eat together unless we go out or for holidays, etc.) & same deal - she hates all the gear, tools, cases, boxes make her ill, but I made a cozy spot for her on a loveseat so she can stretch out with a blanket & her mutt and relax. Works well for us, we both need our personal space & I don't go upstairs & mess up her space, either. I guess I should say her space is much tidier than mine, too. 😉
I like the sound you're getting today - with the amp on in that room. Nice reverb. Show us the amp sometime and the axe (unless I missed that segment). Nice.
Jimmy, Laughed at yesterday’s now infamous “Playing with my Balls” episode. Strangely enough the wife and I were talking about your balls at dinner tonight. See the tremendous influence you have on us. At least we remember what is important! oo
Hey Jimmy I'm baaaaccckkkkk lol. Hey I know you've probably answered this before but since there's no rhyme or reason to these video titles I can't easily go back and reference it. I can play my ass off but I never taught myself to read notation. I;m a real dedicated player/(student) too. So what's the best way to learn how to read music? If I dedicate a good quality 1/2 hour a day to it how long would you estimate that it would take to become a real good notation reader? Oh yea I'm staying pissed off too. Thanks
Hi Quincy.. Learning to read is not that hard but you would have to start from ground zero... If you are doing fine with your playing, you don't HAVE to read
Thanks Jimmy. Yes I can play my ass off but I still want to learn how to read to be the "complete player". Also I do think it makes it easier to communicate with other players and for them to be able to communicate with me. Plus yes I can play my ass off and I'm going Pro with it soon. And I know the music business is "harder" than it used to be and yadda yadda yadda. I know it was easier to make a buck in the music biz before the I.T. industry stole the music business. You don;t hear people talking about it that way but that's what really happened. The money in music is still there but instead of it going to the record companies and the artists like it used to now a big chunk of it is going to Tech companies. You want to buy music these days where do you go? These days they don;t even go to UMG or some other record company to buy music they go to APPLE itunes, or stream it on Spotify. Pandora, or Apple music etc. Those suckers even give away the artists/human beings work the artist generated through their blood, sweat, and tears for FREE to get traffic to their websites then the Tech company (which is what those companies I mentioned really are) get's paid BILLIONS through Ad revenue. Pretty slick huh? Steal the artists work then Tech companies make BILLIONS of $$$$$$ from the Ad revenue meanwhile many artists are now struggling. Putting out records that can only sell a fraction of what records used to sell and then being told by record companies that they actually owe the record company money for its services and crap like that, total fucking bullshit. Even this site right here TH-cam (part of Google, a giant Tech company) steals artists work gives it away and makes BILLIONS off of the Ad revenue. Don't believe me well Merryl Lynch recently valued TH-cam at over $70 BILLION dollars. A nice chunk of change considering Google only paid about $1.6 Billion for it when they bought it. These crooks are making BILLIONS of of the music industry alone so they should give thanks for the music/enertainment business everyday and do their best to make sure the industries stay healthy and strong. That also includes artists being able to get paid and paid well at all levels and all aspects of the game. If not then eventually somehow someday they'll get pushed out somehow and the artists and labels will take it all back, Karma's a bitch ;) Do I sound pissed of enough to you Jimmy? These mutha fuckas out here got me working security, guarding their fucking overpriced bullshit products. If some of their products get stolen they have a fit. Yet these Tech companies have been doing the same thing to musicians. They STEAL musicians PRODUCT. nobody really uses that word for the musicians output put it is their PRODUCT just like their overpriced bullshit they have me guarding are their product. The common thief steals from a store then goes out and tries to sell it on the "black market" (whatever the fuck that is?) to make an easy buck. Well these Tech companies have been doing the same damn thing except they don't have to run from the cops or hide it. No they do it right out in the open. Steal from musicians by getting their PRODUCT for FREE then getting paid a fast buck through Ad revenue (is that the new black market lol?) For the PRODUCT they stole from the artist. OMG how did I get on that rant?? I guess it was my turn to go on a rant. See I'm pissed off too and not just about that. Anyway Yes I'm going Pro with it. It's harder today then it was in yesteryear, well so what. It's not ALL about money with me it's about something that's supposed to be more important than money and that called LOVE. I LOVE it, I can play my ass off in jazz as well as rock and blues. I'm really creative too and can write. Put that together with my serious and well developed talent and a heaping helping of LOVE and I'll find a way to make a buck in the game. I'm really really fucking good, I LOVE it, it's my passion, and I want to accomplish some BIG philanthropy through my gifts. That's what I'm going to do. I'm an atheist, and hardcore on that, but I still want to do BIG philanthropy to assist needy folks out there. The philanthropy piece was also a big part of me deciding to do music. I suppose that makes me part of the proof that you don't need no stinking religion to care about and want to help the needy out there. I just need jackasses to get out of the way and help me get my thang started so that I can make it all happen, and do it quick before I put a goddamned brick through their collective skulls. Is that pissed off enough for ya my friend?
Hi Paul.. did you notice the safe? I forgot the combination.. I had one of my neighbors blow it up for me.. everything init was destroyed... What a bad idea!~
@@JimmyBrunoJazz lol! Priceless! Reminds me of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid" movie when they blow the shit out of that safe after they stop the train and money flies everywhere! "Think you used enough dynamite there Butch "?...says Sundance "If they'd pay me what they're spending to stop me robbing them, I'd stop robbing them!" ....says Butch
You are one of the best that ever played!
holy shit man you can play the hell out of a guitar! I just found your channel yesterday and been listening ever since, you rock dude! cheers!
Randy Schartiger Jimmy is a living legend in jazz guitar. His online academy is the shit. Worth every penny. Check it out.
He made a gigantic collection of LP albums with so many legends too. Check it out, you won’t regret ❤️😍
Check out his album ,Like That, unreal chops
Great to see you're better!! Your a marvelous musician and jazz artist! Thank you for your posts. I listen to your 'Burnin' album and it still astounds me. Your command of the instrument as well as your tasteful ideas are an inspiration!

It’s cool to see you showing off! I’ve been a subscriber of this channel since you’ve started and it has been great seeing your recovery.
It's been a long road.. I had to learn how to walk again.. Let alone trying to play the guitar..
You are in good company mr Bruno, if Pat Martino can do it, so can you. Great playing. Thanks a lot!
Yes, Basil is terrific as Sherlock, and if you enjoy him, then there is another BRIT Sherlock Homes that you would also really enjoy.... :Jeremy Brett.... He is also the other "best".

Young shredders, behold one who did this before you was born! it's wonderful to hear such great stuff and aspire.

yYOuAre too kind
Jimmy, what do you think of John McLaughlin?
I really appreciate your very personal style videos and your outstanding guitar playing. I bought one of your instructional videos many years ago.
I do have a suggestion for the title of your next project/album...”There’s Always One A*shole”...:-)
Love it
Robert Berger Just one??? lol
Merci de la France 🇨🇵

"GOOD MORNING GANG.. I'm slipping

Jimmy Bruno It’s important
You're looking a little like Wes in this video.
Awesome rendition of Donna Lee! I'd love to see a metal player attempt that!lol I couldn't agree more about Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, they were the coolest Holms and Watson Ever.

Giant of jazz. Incredible ideas and sounds
You're worth 10 times that check thanks for the lesson
Hyvää joulua sinulle.
Uncle jimmy do u have app like Barry Greene in iOS which is easier to learn jazz ......

Do You Know Tricotism?
I used to play tricots... but that was 40 Years ago... So I would have to say that I don't know it
Ellington and Holmes. These are a few of my favorite things as well Jimmy.
Never thought of those two together... Now I'm laughing.. What a bizarre duo

Tannerite?
@@JimmyBrunoJazz lol! Priceless! Reminds me of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid" movie when they blow the shit out of that safe after they stop the train and money flies everywhere! "Think you used enough dynamite there Butch "?...says Sundance
"If they'd pay me what they're spending to stop me robbing them, I'd stop robbing them!" ....says Butch
wow Jimmy. how about some thoughts on arpegios like what you did at the end
It's just practice.. I once read in a fortune cookie that repetition is the inspiration for perfection
Jimmy Bruno you're right about that.
say do you know Bob Conti?

Bruno WHO? I will never surrender my guitars!!! "Great players will not replace us." My agenda is showing.
