hahhahahahh I love that genie joke !!!!
New Trend in Music…”talent”. Thank you and Amen brother.
A wonderful musician and individual.
What I especially like is Jimmy's humble responses. This man is a giant and yet is so down to earth and humble. Very likeable.
Anxiously awaiting Part 4!! Love it!
In 1998/99 I was a freshman at San Diego community college. My mentor purchased your dual VHS No Nonsense Jazz Guitar. Thank you for creating that, it has changed my life. If you still accept occasional private students I would love to visit your town for a few days and bribe you. Thank you, Jimmy Bruno.
Thanks for posting Jimmy!
Jimmy thanks so much for taking the time to answer everyone's questions. I am learning a lot!
Still Remember the first time I heard Sleight of Hand back in 94. Blown away. Mr Jimmy Bruno.. absolute Monster on guitar... And seems like such a humble guy.. Keep these Up Mr Bruno. Love em.
I'm really hooked on your new series. Keep them coming!
Absolutely loving these Q&A videos. They make my day. Your knowledge, experience and wisdom from playing so many years is priceless. The stories and behind the scenes look at playing guitar for a living really inspire me. Keep them coming Jimmy!👍🏼
I first saw Jimmy play when I was 16yrs old. I saw a show listed for a jazz guitar player in the local paper. It was at JJ's Grotto in Philly. This was 28yrs ago. I continued to go see him play in many venues over the years, especially at Chris' Jazz Cafe. He is still one of the best guitarists of our time. Thanks, Jimmy, for years of amazing music.
Love hearing this guy talk
Thanks for sharing the wisdom, Jimmy!
Thank you for posting ...great fun here.
JIMMY! QUESTION: Could you show us your guitars on one video and tell us their stories??? THANKS! I love your videos.
amen.. watered down.. the sense of adventure doing something new is gone.. a jazz clone culture.. 🎸😎
This is an excellent series! Thank you so much for sharing so much about your life and work. I've loved your playing since I first heard of you back in the 70s. Your passion for the music, your humility, and your sincerity speak volumes. I've been playing professionally for 30+ years now, and I still always learn something from your music and your teaching. Keep up the inspiring and wonderful work!
Have you ever practiced ttiad pairs
This is so great!
Jimmy your videos never get old ❤
REALLY GOOD INFO. GREAT APPROACH TO THE GUITAR AND MUSIC AND PERFORMING
Jimmy was right up there with the best! He could sit alongside the great "Little Joe" Pass!!!!
I want to thank you for these videos, Mr. Bruno. Your experiences & all that you have to offer are a priceless education for those of us who are trudging through as musicians, especially on a professional (doing it for a living) level. It's a joy to watch you talk about guitar. Cheers!
Yes indeed !!!
GREAT video !! ... THANK YOU !! ... Best wishes & Greetings from Europe/Austria !!
i love these videos!!! :-)
Hi Jimmy! Thanks a million for these question and answer video sessions. It's great to hear a true musician/professional talking honestly and candidly about his life and craft. My question is about reading on guitar. I started on piano as a kid, then picked up the coronet in grade school also playing electric bass. When I left school I focused all my attention on guitar. I can figure out any sheet music and learn Real Book tunes from reading but have always struggled to sight-read off the cuff. It's been a blow really cause it beats up your confidence if you want to work with other jazz musicians. No matter how much practice I put in I never seem to get past mediocre. Have you heard similar stories cause I think reading has beat me up mentally. Thanks again and would love to hear your take on this. John Heussenstamm
28:06 priceless reaction....
Great... Happy I found you on you tube. I'm 72 started playing when I was 11. Played R&R- recorded and walked away- Last two years I started playing Jazz. I read and can chord spell. I resonate with much of what you chat about. Thanks .I never Ieft music however left the business of music. Growing up I loved "Walk Don't Run" And I loved Johnny Smith's "Moon light in Vermont" Later in life I put the two together ,Johnny wrote Walk don't run. Have you ever met Johnny?
That genie joke was a good one - and the thing with nerves, the more one does something the easier it gets. After playing gigs for 25 or 30 hours a week for several years one becomes as comfortable on stage as sitting at home relaxing. JB has it right, 40 years of playing, preparation and mastery of the instrument helps a lot!!
How do you get a guitarist off your front porch?
Pay him for the pizza 🍕👍
Love your work jimmy 🇦🇺
you da man!
dude! I want that guitar!
Do you do home recording while getting a tune together? I record myself while hashing out a new tune. I love that second Hot Licks video. It lays an entire lifetime of work out in a concise approach.
Part 4 PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE
I've always been intrigued by the spirituality associated with music and jazz in particular. The list of historical players who have referenced this topic is lengthy e.g. Coltrane, Rollins, etc. And players often discuss the experience of becoming an observer/listener of their own playing at moments during performance, but suggest this only occurs periodically. I guess you could call it the highest level of musical experience for many. I have seen a video interview with Jimmy Raney where he says something along the lines of "that is what we are all after. it is like dope and once you have experienced that you will always want more". Others, like Gary Burton, seem to ascribe this experience to playing unconsciously. Could you say something about the topic of spirituality of jazz, and the experience of being outside of your own playing. Thanks, love these videos and the opportunity to pick the mind of a master jazz musician.
Hey Jimmy,
Great lesson.... I love the joke too...lol
Regards,
Jeff Sprankle
SUPER GUY SUPER GUITAR PLAYER !~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Evans used silence very effectively, how important is what you don't play or leave out in the decisions you make when soloing or playing a song?
Yo pienso igual que Bruno. Efectos? La guitarra en su estado puro es mucho más que todo eso. Me encanta Bruno.
Jimmy im a big fan of yours and you seem like someone with a lot of knowledge. I would be stoked if you did some basic Jazz Theory lessons for those of us with lesser experience.
...as Jimmy intimated, get to practice with what you know and the rest will flow...hint: the theory lesson is in your fingertips...cheers,
3 chord geniuses- did Bruno had oasis in mind???😂
The thanks is all mine Jimmy. I started with your workshop which pushed me along further than I could ever have believed. I've since gone over to two other teachers but no one, and I mean no one cuts to the chase the way you do. Thanks so much for all your truly "pro" teachings. You do a great job and these 3 part videos of questions answered will be part of history.
Some great insights here.
The one thing I'd note would be that we should not mistake simplicity in terms of construction for bad art. Some of the most beautiful beatles tunes have a small chord palette but still stand as some of the most artistically accomplished pieces of music ever written. No modulations (in many cases), not a lot of extensions or instrumental virtuosity, guitar solos, etc...still some of the best art ever. We cannot equate those who play tons of complex chords and note-y solos with: good and those who may write a beautiful simple song with a nice melody and expressive lyrics, good arranging, etc with : bad. It's too limiting.
Jimmy i hope this is where i get to ask you a question
i first what to thank you for this series !!!now my question
i've been playing just about 50 years i have good time and ears (of course these can always be improved along with everything else ) i even understand what i'm doing But i cant read music !! can you help .i can play, i'm fluid but my brain gets bogged down and i'm no spring chicken and id like to figure this out before i kick the bucket.
Jimmy, you are a really master and guitar player at our generation! I start to admire you and an amazing Jazz guitarist and I would like to improve my improvisations and solo lines on my semi Ibanez. Tell me dear Jimmy, which effect and pedal you recomend me to have an excellent, clean and smooth sound? Thanks for your attention and I would be happy to have your answer! Greetings from Ukraine, of a brasilian guitarist!
This may be a silly question but where can I get a chair like that Jimmy? haha It looks so comfortable and just like the perfect chair to practice guitar in!
Jimmy, If I can ask a question? What is the difference between calling a chord Ab13 or A7#5? I appreciate your dedication to music and the Guitar
Times have changed that's for sure. But the old timers will tell you how things changed when rock and roll hit and when the Beatles went world wide. Now a days there is everything you need to learn way more easily than years back. But at the end of the day unless you are obsessed don't think that becoming a Jazzer will fall in your lap. As an old timer told me..."You need to know what you want boy"...
I just learned Impressions.
Hi Jimmy, if you had a top ten tune list, what would it be?
Thanks,
Ryan
let me see that map again haha!
Question: You mentioned that when you see a chord you don't think of it as a shape but as individual notes. Do you use a shortcut to visualise flat an sharp notes? Do you mentally say Flat B or do you use solfege and call it Te (flat Ti) ?
Hi Jimmy, what do you think is the best way to get into a standart, go to the park and play some lines? play the arpeggios of each chord?
Wich is the best way to free from the same phrases when one is starting to get stucked ? Thanks
Benjamín
You blew that joke Jimmy!...lol
im 28 ill keep blues and jazz alive until i die
hope other kids like me do the same
Have you ever played using an f hole plug,seems like a new fad??? Also is there any value to a sound port in the side upper bout.this also seems like a fad. Your thoughts??
can I take a look of that map again?
Wes taught himself And Tal played mandolin first so he was used to doing the kinds of fingerings.
With regards to the 5 fingerings.....a naturally talented + driven player is going to figure out fingerings that work for them on his/her own. Jimmy's 5 fingerings are great, and excellent for the players who are not naturally talented and/or driven enough to "get it" on their own. I'm one of em, so this is not a disparaging comment towards his students. It's just a fact - Wes wouldn't need a video of Jimmy's fingerings in order to make music. Most of us do, unfortunately.
Yep. Jimmy's system is all straight up diatonic in standard tuning, though very logically put together. I fall into both categories: I do like patterns to fall back on but then I will also sit around for hours playing the same tune, not using scales, until I start hitting more of what I hear in my head, using random fingerings until they become 'my' patterns.
The key to Jimmy's 5 shapes is that it's FIVE. That's the hook. The fingerings themselves are not unique. But, FIVE is the point, because five hops around the cycle of fifths brings you to a chromatic neighbor key (or tone, for that matter). It's a fact on any instrument. So, by playing around the cycle of Jimmy's shapes, you're playing around the cycle of fifths. And, on the sixth one, where you're back to fingering you started with, you're one position up. C --> F --> Bb --Eb --> Ab. Next comes Db, which is one fret up from where you started, ready to go. And so on, around and around, up the neck like a corkscrew 'til you run out of neck. So Jimmy's fingering system connects the mechanics of the fingerboard to the mechanics of music in the abstract. This is the key to whole thing. So if you want be able to play in any key, any position, without hopping all over the place and without even needing to think about it, sign up with Jimmy.
It is hard to maintain that there is one "holy grail" for fingering scales. Segovia's edition is how I learned. But ultimately how you finger scales or more importantly voice a melody is an individual thing. A "three finger" player like Wes will voice chords and especially melodies in a different way than a "four finger" player.
Technique is different as well. What is important is that you make it sing.
Hi Jimmy. What do you think about the symmetrical 4th tuning? Nowdays more and more players are changing to this tuning due the less amount of shapes it generates compared to the standard.
You ask everybody that, dont' you? :)
Yes, I asked you too, I like to listen to different opinions
***** No problem! I just thoought it was funny that I came across your question here as well! :) Keep at it!
Rodolfo Amaral you know he's going to say to use your ears and not your eyes and also it doesn't matter one bit what shapes you make if you don't have soul and some halfway decent tone
Being in Buddy Rich's band has got to wear out any nerves you might have had, lol.
Do you still play 7 string guitar
hello jimmy. pelase dont sell the Gibson 355. it is your historical foundations . a legacy from your father. i am from Braga Portugal. my question : Will you make more jazz guitar albuns / record? i really love your music and technique.
The point of jazz
Around 3.33, couldn't agree more, perception of 'what is good' among so many has long evaporated to mediocrity.
Do you ever wish you had taken a high profile lead guitar gig during rock's heyday?
is it a myth or do jazz guitarist like to smoke cannabis.I love your videos don't understand anything about jazz but enjoy watching.
You are on point Jimmy! The music is nowhere near the artistic genius of decades ago. The math approaches alone have no soul.The music of today's schooled cats is as cold as the people who play it. Everythings so political and they should have went into politics. You listened to a few tracks I sent you and you gave me 5 stars! I did aone on one with one of the most famous NYC Jazz cats and noticed after playing teh tune 'more" which he didnt know..he could not pickup the melody right away which isn't hard.
What's Jimmy's philosophy on reading notation? I just don't think I need it, I know lots of theory at this point and i don't think it will fundamentally improve my playing
Fala muito e toca pouco
How come you dont listen to guitar players?
question about jazz today was hilarious...Ahhhh there is no Jazz today..it is dead.
Who are you anyways? That's right, nobody.
