@@joebeamish Create and practice weird patterns like tongue twisters for your fingers. The more different ways you can play the 5, the more you'll be familiar with them and even come up with your own licks since a lot of licks are really just patterns and melodic cells. 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, enclosures on each note, octave jumps, etc. Create a different pattern each week, combining positions together into one big pattern, etc.
Been following Jimmy's teaching since the old JBGI (Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute), just makes themes sense to me. Thanks Jimmy for your contributions to my education!
Jimmy, I’m 78 and followed you a while and I just had to say how enjoyable this video is. When your holding an iPad and watching it it’s like you sitting , playing in my living room. Really enjoyed it.
“Guess I’ll just keep it the way it is.” But the way you do it now is just perfect-talking over the examples, keeping the fingering hand in plain view, and so forth is honest, real, and really good. Thanks for keeping it “just the same.” It’s great! Peace and love, for fuck sakes, from British Columbia!!
Glad to see you back on the video fret board, we all learn a little from watching and listening to you. You are truly an unrepentant Jazz Guitarist from the golden age of Jazz. Keep being you Mr. Bruno and *%^& the world.
@lucancherby I guess I needed a joke in my life today because here you are, you jerkoff! You oughta take your "180 pound" ass back to your workbench and grease up some of those 40 dollar mystery motors you got going on your channel.. "you lazy fuck". Why comment on a musicians page acting like you can fuckin play when you in all actuality just make knockoff amps and leave stupid comments? Ps: your staggering lack of intelligence and accomplishment are obvious by the comments you make publicly! Have a great day and good luck. You need it!
This is high quality content just as it is, if you’re offering Bruno advice on how to improve it I’m not sure you’re actually watching what’s going on here. This is GOLD.
Thanks for the video Jimmy! Honestly if you don't like writing arrangements down, I think most of us would love seeing you just play/perform your favorite standards here. Either solo/backing track with closeups of your hands and fretboard dots would be an education already and you can charge for requests. You can also charge for videos just talking about how you would approach a certain song/jazz standard, the history of the song and what you know about it, etc. I think making the videos just more song focused in general and how you would apply your system of thinking with pitch collections and voicing etc would be a great series of videos since there's a lot of students and intermediate guitarist here who aren't complete beginners but also don't know how to get started with songs and/or how to practice them.
There's a story told by George Coleman about trumpet player Roy Eldridge.... Roy was talking with a group of known players who were really into the free jazz movement when it was all the rage. So Roy goes home, records himself banging randomness out on his piano. He takes the recording and later plays it for these guys: "man you gotta check this kid out, he's only FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!" The guys respond: "wow, really?" Roy says: "No, that's me, you dumb mother****ers."
Thanks so much Jimmy for afford your knowledge, you don't know how your fingerings conception and your videos has been open my mind up. Now I can see an universe on the fretboard!
This video, after seeing the last one, really brightened my day. Jimmy, your attitude is positive, and your playing (even though you were just noodling whilst talking) is powerful! We’re mere months apart in age. I started playing guitar in ‘68. Everything that you said about the music business is spot on…the highs, the lows, the cutthroat nature. And yes, the pandemic knocked it all down like a house of cards. I lost thousands of dollars. Now we just have to play for ourselves and for the love of the art form, which is why we started playing in the first place, right? Play on brother Jimmy, and stay well!
"You make a mistake, and you're done"...that reminds me of a story a friend of mine who I played in his local band in the town I grew up in, and he worked for a while as a touring musician with Glen Campbell...for Glen, a mistake by anybody stuck out like a sore thumb...and the band knew it, so on any occasion that if anyone missed a part, they knew Glen was going to call them on it after the show, so if it happened, and someone missed, they would just apologize before Glen had a chance to call them on it...and Glen would say "Well, it would happen to anyone who wasn't paying attention"...playing music has a completely different standard vs like football, or baseball...as an example, in baseball, a guy can strike out a lot, but if he has a record of connecting and hitting home runs a lot, then it outweighs the times he bombs out...can you imagine having that kind of expectation when playing music? Like a batting average, the number of hits divided by the number of times up to bat? So the number of times a person actually got the right notes divided by the number of times that the notes were to be played? So the total of right notes divided by total notes that were actually played, both bad and good? Hahahahaha! To be fair, though, nobody in playing a concert is attempting to keep you from hitting a home run...
Late for school again! Thank you Jimmy, I gotta keep an eye out for those notifications. Keep feuling us with what you do, did, and don't anymore we nood it! 😊
Even though a lot of work has stopped since the pandemic, I wish I could practice. I've had a couple of injuries which leave me in too much pain most days to be able to pick up my instrument... and at the age of 64 I need to keep my hands and fingers from going completely stiff from arthritis. Depressed and discouraged in Montreal. It's great to see and hear you playing, Jimmy. Maybe my injuries will finally heal at some point! Just had to cancel a 2 month tour because of Acute Rotary Cuff Tendinopathy D. It not only hurts physically... it's hurting financially. This new version of the music business sucks. Tryin' to keep looking forward. Some days are harder than others. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do for the guitar/music community!
Hey Jimmy. I use a little oil off my noise to give me a little extra slip on the fret board. Keeps my hand moving a little more comfortable on the fretboard. Deep breathing stretching to deal with my struggles warming up.
Do you find different guitars have different levels of playability? I can navigate my nylon jazz guitar with ease but my gibson j45 is great for strumming but a struggle for comping and soloing. just a random thought. love the videos, the banter and the chops :)
last night I listened to your Polarity album. not the first time I heard it but the first time I had the space to really listen to it. what a fantastic well-mastered album. how long... has a great groove to it. my personal favorite is the playful, complex alive beautiful title track Polarity. it displays some of the best guitar work have ever listened to! a beautiful Elenor Rigby. a Powerful rendition of Summertime .its just bloody marvalousHow can you not like a song called iv Grown Accustomed to Her Face lol... and so much more. one of the most underrated albums in the jazz guitar community. It is a sad miscarriage of justice it was not released on vinyl.
it wasn't promoted very well.. That's one of my favorite recordings and it was the most demanding.. it was record direct to DAT...which means no punching in out to make a fix.. If there was a mistake anywhere we would have to start over
Do not repeat yourself.. apparently simple but so true in life , your teaching goes far beyond. Music is personal development and we are all in need to listen to some of these deep real truth this time of listening brings up a special precious , thank You , something
Watching you warming up with exercises & commentary is the best. Nice swing & pretty sounds on that last song Our Love... Please do I-VI-II-V voicings with dropped D. That's all I play in past 5 years.
Hey Jimmy, great stuff. I am a guitarist for the past 50 years in New Orleans Born and raised in Philadelphia in the 50’s I studied with Joe Sgro. Did you know guitar teacher Erv Revelle? He taught at Delucia’s. I studied with him. Any way I bet we know a lot of the same people.
Thank you Jimmy. Great lesson. This is the best way to learn. Just listen and try to play what we hear you playing. Not play what you’re playing exactly but our own ideas based on what we hear from you. No tab. No notation necessary. We’ll all become better players this way. How do we pay you?
Hey bruno, i like to just hear the real speak, Playing guitar has all ways just been a hobby for me,i love listening to people play live and sing, just last night, i had a freind around, and he played and sang a tune he has been working on. I go out busking now and then, went out in the in-humane lock downs to try to spread a bit of light on the streets here in Jersey Channel islands, Damn it was a depressing time. I just played in the street, and the police said i coulden't do it without a buskers permit,which was never my intention, the permits are free here, NO-ONE plays on the streets here much,so SANITIZED. I try to inspire others to get out and play,and sometimes run in to amazing people who sing and play.
pentatonic in 4ths moving diatonically 3rds is a great sound....but at the end of the day, you are right, it's 90% percent bullshit. But it's still great to work on any difficult patterns so you can access it at anytime. Always love hearing your wisdom! Great stuff here Jimmy
Wow, you still got it pops👍🏽💜Those lines sound beautiful… only a beautiful soul plays the way do. I like you in Giant Steps from your album… shows a few chops, or concepts from that session?! 🇦🇺
For anyone under 30 right now it must be impossible to imagine what it was like being a professional musician in your time. When my dad was a full time guitar and drum performer in the NY area in the 70s he was making $3k/mo then just playing clubs with a quintet. I'm just old enough (36) to have gotten a taste of that world as it was fading out, but now it's pretty dismal. It's hard to make $200 in Dallas for a three hour gig and NY and SF are even worse. I really hope it gets better soon. In the meantime I'm just releasing original music and playing where I can, but I feel bad for the 20 somethings who are moving to NYC during the most expensive and least opportunistic time in that city for the last century to get a music career going.
Novice monk here, can you share your opinion on fingerstyle playing vs using a pick. The tone of fingerstyle has drawn me to play that way but clearly a pick provides more speed...Thanks. Enjoy your channel.
And if I can add an old shaggy dog story: Two musicians grow up in a small Midwestern town. They eventually go their separate ways, one to NYC, the other to LA to seek fame and fortune. Around ten years pass and they find themselves back home for the holidays. The NY guy asks the LA guy about his exploits, and he rattles off a litany of the highest levels of accomplishments…Grammys, world tours with A listers, to which the NY guy keeps responding, “Gee I didn’t hear about that.” NY guy asks, “Anything else?” LA guy says, “Remember the Sunday night jams at the old hotel downtown? Believe it or not, they’re still happening! I went down there last night and brought my horn. They called Cherokee and I totally forgot the bridge.” NY guy says, “Yeah, I heard about that!”
Hey Jimmy you mentioned a jazz pianist named Craig. My girlfriend's dad what was the jazz pianist named Craig Shenefelt. I was just wondering if that's who you're talking about. Her dad played with James Brown can I do believe he's got music here on TH-cam. Anyway I just found your video and found a rather interesting that I'm just kind of starting to play guitar. I have to do a little more watching you're rather interesting. Thank you
I hear that some of that weird stuff I picture the time we babysat ole Otis's huntin dog and he got in the henhouse and took out like 4 or 5 birds bam bam nothing nice..... Yea theres a guy that has a channel called guitar is Fn hard.... I like that melody our love is here to stay ...been playing satan doll
Have a great day Jimmy and thank you for your creativity! could you make a video of 10 points that you need to be able to play flawlessly in order to transition to playing jazz standards! also tell me, please, did you go to school online, I have these videos and study them, in your opinion, how long are the two courses, year two! And did you have students and what percentage of them were whom you consider to be those who mastered that invaluable knowledge at a sufficient level!?
Jimmy’s five fingerings opened up a whole new world for me along with watching these videos,he is truly the master thank
you Jimmy .
I know the 5 cold…but not sure what to “do” with them. What do you recommend?
@@joebeamish Create and practice weird patterns like tongue twisters for your fingers. The more different ways you can play the 5, the more you'll be familiar with them and even come up with your own licks since a lot of licks are really just patterns and melodic cells. 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, enclosures on each note, octave jumps, etc. Create a different pattern each week, combining positions together into one big pattern, etc.
@@joebeamish arpeggios, like Jimmy shows in the video. Learn to ‘see’ the chords in the five fingering.
@@guitarcoyote Do you see a dom 7 chord - or variations of it - in the 5 position, for example?
@@joebeamish yes
Been following Jimmy's teaching since the old JBGI (Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute), just makes themes sense to me. Thanks Jimmy for your contributions to my education!
Jimmy, I’m 78 and followed you a while and I just had to say how enjoyable this video is. When your holding an iPad and watching it it’s like you sitting , playing in my living room. Really enjoyed it.

But the way you do it now is just perfect-talking over the examples, keeping the fingering hand in plain view, and so forth is honest, real, and really good. Thanks for keeping it “just the same.” It’s great!

Thank you, and God bless. I am so grateful for your wisdom.
"Wisdom"? Thanks for the joke that was funny

problem is I play them differently each time.. and making chord diagrams takes a long time
Great line, "I never had to warm up cause I was working"
Many thanks from the U.K, you’re more fun than Netflix and the news.
Just beautiful. You show your true self with that last tune. Thank you for that.
