Love your version of "Misty", Jimmy! Those chords and phrasing, especially when you got it swinging, was just a treat! Keep it going with these videos with your wisdom and your playing. Love it!
You’re probably the best guitar teacher around, even though I don’t play jazz I watch all your videos and always learn something I can use, music wise or not. Thank you very much. Have a good day.
I still come back to these videos if I start feeling sorry for myself and need a good kick in the ass. Maybe it was where I was raised by my grandpa. He passed far too early in my life, but I miss that no excuses attitude. It doesn't seem to fit too well in today's world. Everyone is allowed to have excuses and blame their mediocrity on everyone else. I went to a Frank Vignola gig and he had very positive things to say about you. Real legend from an era where musicians were real musicians and music was real music.
I couldn't agree with you more Mr Bruno, everything is so dumb down it's pathetic, & so sad!!! I do like playing jazz/fusion & Rock & blues, I also live playing classical/flamenco guitar, so when it comes to Real Jazz, I agree, the guitar should Never be distorted, that's like having Andres Segovia play a beautiful peice on his classical guitar through a loud Marshall stack!!! It doesn't work!!! Enjoy you videos & you sharing you life experience, we need straight shooters like you to teach reality, thanks, stay safe & God Bless!!!
Hey Jimmy, I got one of your lesson DVDs several years ago. You truly inspired me..... to put legs on my guitar and use it as a Coffee Table. Just kidding... It's an End Table. Seriously, I play ALOT of Jazz today, using things I learned from you! My Road days, of doing it for a living, were Rock, Blues and Country, which I haven't played in some time now. I play for FUN, now, as you were saying, and I Love it! Thanks for being Jimmy Bruno! May God Bless You with His Peace!
I had the bright idea to do some courses at community college to save some money on my degree from university. I just decided to pay the higher price at university when in the community college course over half of the students failed the simplest exam and pissed and moaned all kinds of excuses why. What did the college do? They curved the shit out of the grading scale so only the 3 worst students failed. At university the professors are tenured and don't give two shits if you slack off and fail. That's your problem. There is no way those community college students left career ready. That was 10 years ago when I graduated. The universities may be curving the grading scales by now lol.
In honor of Jimmy’s enthusiasm for TV news, sports, and weather, several Philly TV stations are competing for the right to have a Jimmy Bruno mural painted on the outside of their building. Why should Eddie Lang be the only Philadelphia-area jazz guitarist to have a mural?
I'm a 60 year old rock/country guitar player Johnny, is it to late to learn? Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorites... the whole cast could sing and dance! Rosanne can't dance... haha "Jango- Jango!"
Beautiful touch of misty Jimmy . These kids don't have the chops for the present-day style of Jazz they don't have a Teacher like you Jimmy to show the New Dao of Jazz. One way on looking at it These Kids playing Basic old style of Jazz. They're learning 1+1 is 2 they can't do Algebra & Geometry . learning the basic music .Hopefully they don't get stuck in the old ways on playing. But Old time music is refreshing to hear at times. Like all Artistic endeavors one must make their own not a carbon copy of their teacher teacher teacher
Stethoscope pushed too far into their ears, scratched their brain? Did you gat that from MASH? I remember Henry Blake telling Frank Burns the same thing... cool...
that was a fun video. great mix of some interesting chords substitutions and hilarious talk. what if you played like you speak? would I like the music that came out? I think it would be a bit rougher than the beauty of your music. Maybe music isn't for such talk? I don't know, what do you think?
Do you know if Comins will have guitars for sale right on the spot? Like the laminate series he demonstrates on your RUclips channel. Thanks again Jimmy
Would you please do a live stream of playing for about 2 hours so I can draw while listening to you? Because that's what I'm doing now, but it's too short.
Great insights, as usual, Jimmy. Amazing photos at the end. Am I nuts, or was there a picture of you and the great Hank Garland in the mix??? (Oh, and Sean McGowan is insanely good. Been listening to his Indigo album for the past 3 days.)
I played a Valentine Day Dinner at the local Elks Lodge, two and a half hours of playing for seventy five bucks. I haven’t seen the check yet! I thought of you, and Your admonition! Yep. Also, why did Frank call E flat, the people’s key? What’s the inside joke? Happy Saturday.
Hey Joe, the restaurant had the first reservation at 5 and the last at 9:30 for Valentine's. They wanted me to play extra. So I lasted until 10:30 but could do no more. Always get paid though. If Jimmy walked in he'd probably point at me and say "You suck!" HA! 😁

Yep. Misty. Digging the extended notes in the chords.

Goddamnit Jimmy, do you understand how awesome these videos are compared to every other video on this fucking website? We need you, you old bastard.
"I no longer have to take every single stupid job that comes down" - JB, telling it as it is. Word!
So refreshing ! Common sense mixed with unafraid honesty and great musical talent.

Genius!!
We are lucky to have Jimmy sharing these videos!!
Another gem. I'm once again inspired. I've worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.
The man's skills are equal to his wisdom.
I ran a theater for a few years, musicians were by far the biggest pains in the ass out of all my clients.

As Frank V. said on your video,...The people's key!
if you ever have an inkling, let's hear how you really feel about gypsy jazz guitar players, i gotta say you surprised me with that rant
I like uncle jimmy accent and the way he say “fuck fuck” 😂😂😂😂
truer words were never spoken
I love this guy.

kids in Philly will just spay paint it with graffiti
I love how you sound exactly as my Med school teacher combine with a orchestal director, you’re my idol and watch al your videos.
You are fuckin' phenomenal sir!
Chuck Finley, a Jimmy Bruno mural?
Hell, how about a statue?
If Philly can afford a Rocky statue, why not a Bruno statue?
A statue is a better idea, as long as we’re sure that Jimmy didn’t fight for the South in the Civil War, like Robert E. Lee.
Omg! He may have just said the funniest thing I've ever heard him say:. Facebook = Face#&?%!
Man that is so cool
👍🏻

never copy copy your teachers
Wonderful playing!
dude is a legend
Stethoscope pushed too far into their ears, scratched their brain? Did you gat that from MASH? I remember Henry Blake telling Frank Burns the same thing... cool...
I always look forward coming here everyday
Greetings from Detroit, Jimmy
E-Duke-ation,Guys!

I have no idea... goo idea though
Do you know if Comins will have guitars for sale right on the spot? Like the laminate series he demonstrates on your RUclips channel. Thanks again Jimmy
Anthony Bruce yes I think so
I would call him
Misty...Beautifully done Jimmy!
Hey Jimmy,
Among the guitars you own, do have a Monteleone arch top ?
No I don't but John makes wonderful instruments
Would you please do a live stream of playing for about 2 hours so I can draw while listening to you? Because that's what I'm doing now, but it's too short.
Great video Jimmy and as you know those who can't do it teach it ... 👍
Jimmy, i like your idea about having a job, sitting in the bunker drinking coffee and playing guitar, smoking cigarettes. 🚬
Looking at those photos... did Gene B. play that night?
Jimmy, did you know Robert Conti back in Philly?
no, I left Philly about 25 tears ago...
Now that is good video
Great insights, as usual, Jimmy. Amazing photos at the end. Am I nuts, or was there a picture of you and the great Hank Garland in the mix??? (Oh, and Sean McGowan is insanely good. Been listening to his Indigo album for the past 3 days.)
yeah that was Hank Garland
Misty was in the video.
Are you playing Eb diminished on Misty before the Major 7th? That’s a nice sound
no, it's a D triad with Eb in the bass
shit, that's a hell of a stretch. Definitely easier on the other group of strings.
Thx Jimmy
Man, you get to hang with some serious cats Jimmy.
🚬😎

I used to advise my guitar students to never leave the house to play for less than $100. Hope you get your bread.
