I spent most of my first 50 years making up "home-grown" patterns for all the white keys on the guitar, but I never paid attention to the black keys, even though they're just the usual 2 finger rock shapes. And I've wasted zillions of hours widdling around with those. White keys, black keys and the twain only ever met on my guitar by accident. When I saw some of Barry Harris videos, it really explained a lot of things to me that I couldn't figure out on my own. And his observation about not asking jazz players how to play jazz was spot on. It is so fortunate that technology has given us a way to access this kind of wisdom. And we are also so fortunate to preserve some of Jimmy's insights, foul or not. I'm just a hack hobbyist who plays for fun, so I don't mind if I play an Am7 instead of the "right" chord. But I can hear the difference and having someone simply point that out is of great value to guys like me. Obviously it shouldn't take a player of Jimmy's caliber to have to point that out to jazz beginners, but it is much appreciated. I've recently ordered his DVDs just to hear more of his "approach" to teaching. So, to Jimmy, may you land many more gigs in venues that give you a chance to have fun and share the joy with other players and stretch out.
I used to read the news in the morning, bad idea. Now I see what Jimmy Bruno has to say while I'm drinking coffee. The "Sweet Lorraine" set made my day! Thanks for that. And Barry Harris... Another "no nonsense" approach to jazz , be-bop style. One of his students has a channel called " Things I learned... " with examples played on guitar.
Omg now I know what Barry was saying. It is the minor b5. I could never figure out why it never sounded right. I’m studying the c6 diminished chord scale harmony and it’s brilliant. RIP Barry Harris.
Barry Harris' insights have really helped me as a player, great musician. Hey Jimmy, you asked "what do you want me to play?" how about "You make me feel so young" ? I've been learning that one lately, be good to see your take on it. Also, i wanted to ask if you know a Dexter Gordon track called "Ca Purange" from the album of the same name? Don't know if it'll be to your taste but check it out if you don't know it. I think the energy is amazing and Hank Jones' piano solo is up there with the greatest in my opinion. Keep up the vids man, make me smile every time i watch one. Adios.
Hey Jimmy! You're back home! Suddenly, so am I! I should get a life, but you been carryin" me for quite some time now. Thanks, friend! Play sumpin' good.
Coincidence? I was just listening to Oscar Peterson's LP "With respect to Nat". Sweet Lorraine, with Herb Ellis doing his Freddy Greene thing. Album from 1965.
Holy S, what a difference the flat 5 makes in the B of All the things, wow. B flat over that, to G?? I use subs, I sub the wrong chords for the rights ones! That note took the suckage level down a little. Ty
What's the latest with TrueFire. Are you still going to do that? (sorry if you've mentioned this on a previous video... I have not watched all of them)
If you haven't tried Thomastik Enfeld strings, you should. they're expensive, BUT they sound great and they last a long time, so it sort of evens out. It's been said that there would be no jazz without the diminished chord.
another things he says about All the Things is that sometimes people play c-minor9 over the iii chord, which is not right, because the 9th (D) is not in the key of Ab. So when people play Cminor9 on all the things it sounds sorta fucked up. good point mr. harris.
Very L.A. move. Gets you to show so that more people see him and his "group". "Hey, I got Nicholson all lined up with Michael Bay directing, script by Mario Puzo's parakeet, and Renata Taldwin is guaranteed for "Cookie". "You gotta get in on this action, man." Meanwhile the guy does nothing, thinks he's a "producer" while he's just getting between you and your money. And there's thousands of these assholes in L.A.
Man I swear I mentioned Barry Harris in the comments like a year ago asking you what you thought. Im sure it was someone else who turned you onto him but I’m glad I finally got an answer!
I use those strings, too -- but my guitar doesn't sound like that. Maybe I should try to get a refund . . . or maybe I should use a different pick. Yeah, that's it.
YOU and Barry should Record! THAT would sound great, and be the sweetest middle finger to the swingless Milleneal generation. . . and you’re both chain smokers
Barry has been known to drop an curse word or two as well. But seriously, a bebop and hard bop duo, live from assisted living, would be GREAT and sell too.
You should switch to some low-action nylon flamenco jobby :P (just teasing, while mildly suggesting a random idea. you could always buy one used for a $100 or something) your fingers and wrists will thank you. but seriously, is it electric or acoustic? why the cult of thunk thunk? both bolt-on industrial steel logs and delicate resonant sound-boxes have advanced since Charles Christian and Django graced our planet, why are some guys on teles/strats/pauls and some are just archtop-4-life and such?
Great that you found Barry Harris. Always thought you would like his approach. Check this one about the Cm7 in "All the Things". th-cam.com/video/3V2eNh8qWVo/w-d-xo.html I really enjoyed your vid today, Sensei.
PROOF that you're "gifted" this way, or you're not. You "hear" those subtleties in the chords, or you don't. I've been playing guitar all my life and still don't hear what he hears. Never will. C'est la vie." I love jazz but will never understand it. I think that's why I'm drawn to it - it's a foreign language.
You miss that it doesn't need to be technical or complicated to be good, no MORE than a 390 french cooked 3 hour to Make meal is better than a 15 minute hamburger.... and in fact anything requires the simple aspect to be good.. Thus, a bunch of sustain or a simple but New melody that sings that speaks that moves your body is art AND is better than modal formulated embellished jazz, You talk about not liking things like boxes or alt tuning because it's repetitive but so is jazz modes even as it sounds great, it's STILL Modal..... ALSO, WE LOOK FOR NEW IN MUSIC, new totally or new versions better than old.. Now just playing well is fine BUT it's not a following you Will have, you will have a show, a show that no one needs to see that many time's... also, music aline is only a part of a musical experience Thus Very few music ONLy acts have ever been major..it was mostly music AND song or music AND dance.... head jazz was the death of jazz in a certain path of it... jazz or and or technical playing is best a ingredient to what is good popular music.. There's a ton of BAD lead guitar playing in groups that have produced decent tunes, this is where you should HAVE gone and not oo pooed Their expression...the expression that sells albulms and shows
oh Yeah! What a great player. A gift to hear him play the guitar on these standards.
You're awesome Jimmy. You're up there with guys like Joe Diorio, Pat Martino. I'm a huge fan👍
Nice to be here listening you.
Swing your ass off Bruno !!! Thanks for the tunes this morning, they're all favorites 👍.
Hi Jimmy , how lovely your playing is ...Will always be ! Great Jazz guitarists like you are so humble and full of generosity .stay well & ,safe .
Thanks for another great video Jimmy good stuff 👍
I always feel like litin' up when I watch your vids!

Marvelous playing Jimmy! Fabulous chords and single note lines! I think you are a genius!!!
Jimmy Rocks!!!!....
Thank You Sir:-)
Man you’re fantastic and funny too
Its. Gonna be a sense of humor
Thanks a lot
Man I just had a spiritual experience riffing on that Bb maj 7 (the b flat with the F triad you were talking about.) Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

I saw that, Seems he got some of it wrong
Things I've Learned From Barry Harris it wasn’t u the guy I saw played piano
@@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616 Yes, very much so!
I love listening to you, Jimmy! 🐦
Studying Darn That Dream now. What a great tune.
You crack me up, Jimmy!!
by the way, love your videos. I learn more in 5 minutes just absorbing all the folded information that some explicit "lessons"
Keep em coming!
So good love it...
This is a golden lesson in playing. A keeper.
George Duvivier said to Barry Harris... “I’m so glad you played that A half diminished”
George Duvivier was one of my favorite bass players in the day.
I like those strings too Jimmy.
Can confirm, everyone in jazz school plays Am - D7 on the bridge of All the things
Good for you getting the recording work in nyc.
Thank you Jimmy:)
Omg now I know what Barry was saying. It is the minor b5. I could never figure out why it never sounded right. I’m studying the c6 diminished chord scale harmony and it’s brilliant. RIP Barry Harris.
I’m with you Jimmy, Barry’s system explains a lot. Great playing sir.
Nice Jimmy!!
Arkansas Baby!!

Jimmy, don't ever stop! Somewhere down the line, another player will capture my ears. I consider that to be disaster day! All my love.
Hey Jimmy! You're back home! Suddenly, so am I! I should get a life, but you been carryin" me for quite some time now. Thanks, friend! Play sumpin' good.
Hi Jimmy I love your teachings,,,hope you are OK DD
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you brother! (for telling the truth)!
best jazz guitarist...the old GOAT!
You're right. This is a bad cat right here.
as a fusion player I watch for 50% the jazz and for 50% Jimmy's rants and jokes, makes sense right ? ;-)
Nice jimmy...!
From Russia with Love. Try and get arrested!
Great intro :D
barry harris is 89, his approach to harmony was a real eye opener for me.
Can't believe he still smokes cigarettes...
@@JimmyBrunoJazz that's funny because the last time i saw barry harris i was getting shit from the club owner for smoking outside the club
Wow incredible little lesson on All the Things! Thanks
And you play great.
Wow! How many times have you played those masterpieces to get that level of performance?
“Right” is “temporary” however, not always.
beautiful playing Jimmy as always
bravo jimmy!
thanks jimmy
YOU GOTTA DIG JIMMY BRUNO
What is your favorite album of yours with laid back relaxing songs?
Very interesting :)
Coincidence? I was just listening to Oscar Peterson's LP "With respect to Nat". Sweet Lorraine, with Herb Ellis doing his Freddy Greene thing. Album from 1965.
I only go to doctors who play guitar. Death metal Doc's ok? You crack me up Jimmy. Thank you.
Holy S, what a difference the flat 5 makes in the B of All the things, wow. B flat over that, to G?? I use subs, I sub the wrong chords for the rights ones! That note took the suckage level down a little. Ty
4:58 I fricken love Jimmy. lol.
You don’t want to do it? You don’t like the way they play?? Who made you god? Damn
I agree this guy is such a crusty old dickhead
live by the cig, die by the cig.
What was that warmup Jimmy? I like it
Great
That added minor 6th blew my mind. But I'm not so technically advanced, therefore not hard to do.
Well..... My old Dad used to say...."The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!"
The pavement outside my house is hell and never had any intention of being good.
daddario strings and "fuck the tv"? subscribed.
Love this guy!
What's the latest with TrueFire. Are you still going to do that? (sorry if you've mentioned this on a previous video... I have not watched all of them)
"Hey Bob, I missed the earth". I like that. Just as a general philosophy.
- We do our best, pray that it's blessed; and God takes care of the rest.
The wedding march I almost Stella ,if you sneak d min7 before to resolve to c min.
Can you do Epistrophy foe?
If you haven't tried Thomastik Enfeld strings, you should. they're expensive, BUT they sound great and they last a long time, so it sort of evens out. It's been said that there would be no jazz without the diminished chord.
First cord of Stella by starlight Bb diminish
That’s what Barry talks all the time
Try that its pretty
You’re great !!!
How you going to play chord substitutions if you dont know the right chord to begin with...🤔🤣
How is yor tune? It seem that you never play wrong note.
How about some “Ain’t Misbehaving?”
I've been playing that one since before I knew what it meant. ;)
damn !
ouch
There coming out with vinyl again so forget technology
another things he says about All the Things is that sometimes people play c-minor9 over the iii chord, which is not right, because the 9th (D) is not in the key of Ab. So when people play Cminor9 on all the things it sounds sorta fucked up. good point mr. harris.
The iiim chord is Phrygian, and no b9 on a minor chord.
@@m.vonhollen6673 I haven’t played it in a while but I think I play flat nine on it too.. I’ll check it tho. I use the John Elliot changes ..

What’s the name of the tune starting at 15:29 ?
Stompin' At The Savoy
by Benny Goodman
How about some Ellington tunes?
I have played many of them here before.. A train Satin Doll etc
I use those strings, too -- but my guitar doesn't sound like that. Maybe I should try to get a refund . . . or maybe I should use a different pick. Yeah, that's it.
You ibtro mañha de Carnival but played Samba de Orpheu.
YOU and Barry should Record! THAT would sound great, and be the sweetest middle finger to the swingless Milleneal generation. . . and you’re both chain smokers
I was surprised to see him smoke in one of his u tube videos... My HERO
Barry has been known to drop an curse word or two as well. But seriously, a bebop and hard bop duo, live from assisted living, would be GREAT and sell too.

What a fucked up warm up. Bet I NEVER play it!
This guys is old and he got the skills I need i wish he could just leave me all his skills 😂😂
You can work hard but being given proper tools help or you get know where.

5:20 - Awesome.
You remind me of Joe Puma.
I really liked JOe Puma, got to hang with him for an entire day in NY
He could be a little testy but had a good heart and played the guitar beautifully.
@@plectroman A LITTLE testy... that's an understatement.. he had nothing to prove to anyone especially about playing music and guitar
@@JimmyBrunoJazz I once overheard Joe and Chuck Wayne having a "wide ranging and frank" discussion.
@@JimmyBrunoJazz Hey man you’re a fantastic player. Have you ever listened to Biréli Lagrène?
I think you two would get along fine.
