I'm seeing this video a few years after you made it Jimmy, and I've come to the conclusion that this is the only channel worth watching on youtube. I've listened and learned guitar playing over the years from your books and vids, and now just listening to your personal stories is awesome. Hope your health is good and you're doing great.
❤😂This guys great. When I first caught his videos I thought wow! Someone else feels the same way about guitarists and music schools! I still play and have come to appreciate it even more these days but I myself couldn’t give two shits about who’s doing what anymore or what scales or modes to use over chords, etc. Peace ✌️
As a guy that uses RUclips to study old-time fiddle and banjo, I'm not sure why it's algorithms brought me to Jimmy Bruno...but I'm glad it did. Cheers.
Right on as usual Jimmy! There is NO JAZZ TODAY, THEY DON’T PLAY JAZZ! Most Jazz guitar players are like TV weather men. Untalented A-holes. No qualifications for either profession. And how many times do you have to tell me about the weather. Stick your head outside. None of these so called Jazz guitar players can play Moonlight in Vermont or Airegin (by Sonny Rollins). Wes Montgomery does a killer version of Airegin. Jimmy Bruno does THE BEST VERSION OF MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT, period. I did listen to Johnny Smith”s version, yours is better. Wished we could of seen your guitar tonight. Great exercises that I would like to woodshed on. Thank you Jimmy!
I used to take my sisters piano music and try and play the treble parts , then she taught me to read the G clef and I would put the two together and as with all things guitar some worked well and others were compromise... i also learned piano chords that were a stretch and werent in guitar chord books...then I found out Johnny Smith was actually a proponent for using the grand staff for reading guitar music... his chords showed it...really enjoy your morning chats...love your playing and honesty ...keep on keeping on.
feckin genius Jimmy.. stay lucky top man .. many thanks for your original sounds and great sense of humour....all the way from the Peoples Republic .. Liverpool...
Hey Jimmy, Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching. I always come away, inspired. Probably the best lesson of all, is knowing the difference between a professional, and a novice. It is good to know where I am, and where I want to be, as a player. In the Good book it says, "The truth will set you free.", or something along those lines. Watching your videos is seeing the truth, at least for me.
I see Jimmy has entered his Grumpy Old Man phase! 😬 I just read you had some sort of accident but you seem fine now, glad to see you well. Greetings from a student via your website
Assholes with guitars are far worse than assholes with guns ! At least with the gun ,you only have to die once ! Thanks for everything you gives us freely Jimmy , your the best sir ! Hope the Holidays are joyful for you and yours
Love your posts Mr. Bruno. It’s hard to articulate. I can’t play jazz for shit, I’d love to play jazz guitar though. I’ll keep working on it. Your sense of humor is priceless. In another video you made a remark that suggested that someone said you were bitter. I get your humor: no patience with stupid crap. I hope your well sir. Love your playing, your posts, your insights. I hope you’re doing well.
Also, you mentioned actors you knew in LA. Acting's what I do. The way you don't let it ruin you is to not give a single fuck about fame. Good plays, good people. Best fucking job in the world.
Jimmy Bruno! The fawkin' professor. LOL...classic crumudgeon teacher that you have to put up with the commentary to get to hear him and separate the gold from the dross. tyvm GOAT!
Well I just bought your DVD from hot licks. Thank you. i am an hobbyist who thinks your 'version' of all the things you are can't get out of my mind. The magick.. oh.
Igor Stravinsky....The Rite of Spring! The audience rioted because the dissonance was so hard for them! Saw Andres Segovia at Boston Symphony Hall in the fall of 1979. Spent 1/2 my monthly allowance for the ticket.
Rite of Spring riff sounds like some of the notes of “ La Vie en Rose” to me! I,d like to know how to play a fluid up and down major scale like you just played with all the right accents.!..... Thanks very much for these talks!...Wow,,I love the Rite of Spring,,,,there’s also those lilting & mysterious calm chords at one point quite a way into it!..They also sound great on the piano only version.
I think it's cool how you played over the changes of All the Things You Are, is that a classical form? I have been listening for many years, thanks Jimmy you are awesome.
Hey Jimmy! Can you explain what you are doing at 15:27 point, right after you say “these are good right hand exercises”? I love the way those lines sound! Thanks!
Sometimes the person that write the reviews on jazz players have to have better improvisation skills and imagination than the player being reviewed.Then when you hear them you got to scratch your head and wonder is this the same person i read about?
@Protean Polymath okay, thanks! I assumed it was about either some big dude (big feet), or the idea of "big shoes to fill", like Jimmy's dad (or something like that). All the best!
The song Big Shoes was written by Mr Bruno and appears on his Sleight of Hand record. You asked 5 years ago, hope you found it by now, just saw your comment. It’s a great tune.
@@JimmyBrunoJazz he was a Nashville session guy. Played and recorded for Willie Nelson and others. He was the guitar player on El Paso for Marty Robbins.
Over reharm, over arranging...yuck. It's likes painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. What's with these hip large ensemble interpretations of Thelonius Monk tunes? Why fuck up a Monk tune...they are already fucking weird enough.

You are the best! I wish you were my teacher back in the late 80's. No bullshit.
I love these videos. The grumpiest man alive.

Jimmy, you are absolutely correct! Been listening to your albums and appreciate your playing for many years. Hang in there Jimmy!

Wasn't it Monk who said that if you make a mistake, play it again and the audience will think it belongs there. ? 😂
Joe Pass " if you hit a wrong note well make it rigth by what you will play after" not easy but works well
Just imagining the cat's face when you talk about theory.
I'd rather have the bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
feckin genius Jimmy.. stay lucky top man .. many thanks for your original sounds and great sense of humour....all the way from the Peoples Republic .. Liverpool...
Nice video Jimmy ... You speak the truth Pal 👍 Big shoes 👍👍👍

always love hearing you play JB, our treatment of All The Things UR !
Love your posts Mr. Bruno. It’s hard to articulate. I can’t play jazz for shit, I’d love to play jazz guitar though. I’ll keep working on it.

That is one angry guitarist...but a helluva player.

So grumpy, so funny, so true.

Man this guy is 😎
Igor Stravinsky....The Rite of Spring! The audience rioted because the dissonance was so hard for them! Saw Andres Segovia at Boston Symphony Hall in the fall of 1979. Spent 1/2 my monthly allowance for the ticket.
E flat major chord worthy of Stravinsky . sixth fret:
B-flat ...E-flat ...open D ....open G....F.....Bb. Played sweetly with your balls.
Question for Jimmy - Do you like playing with jazz vocalists? Certainly it's a different approach than solo playing. Any good stories?
Awesome Carcassi take of `All the Things You Are`.
Big Shoes what a fantastic tune ....
Rite of Spring riff sounds like some of the notes of “ La Vie en Rose” to me!
I,d like to know how to play a fluid up and down major scale like you just played with all the right accents.!.....

You're right Jimmy. You make too much sense. I'm surprised EBAY didn't suspend you for telling it like it is.
Wow, Jimmy! That guitar sound fantastic, today. Were you plugged in? Great playing too. You're in the pocket this morning! Thanks for sharing.
Watering it down. I sent my dad something I did and he told me all the “wrong notes” I hit. The only jazz he likes is smooth jazz
Hi Jim.Which guitàr is this you play as love the acoustic sound of it.Thanks.
Peter Smart its a jimmy Bruno model by roger sadowsy
nice riff at 5:58 👍👍
Mr. Bruno, do you prefer flatwound strings over the other type? I wonder what your preference is?
sounds like Hank Garland
Coming from the world of bluegrass, my ears perked up at @5:57
Good car honk sound in there.
Could you say something about getting frustrated sometimes.
Is that a Bb69 the last chord you ended with? What's the voicing?
I think it's cool how you played over the changes of All the Things You Are, is that a classical form? I have been listening for many years, thanks Jimmy you are awesome.
What were the D'Addario strings you mentioned?
Hey Jimmy! Can you explain what you are doing at 15:27 point, right after you say “these are good right hand exercises”? I love the way those lines sound! Thanks!
I'm just playing what is written by Wohlfahrt. Mostly triads in the Keyf C
Jimmy what was the name of the jazz tune you play there and also the classical stuff sounds fantastic and the new strings do too
I’m a jazz guitar hobbyist, i sound like shit. Let me know if you do lessons
Jimmy, your going to be the next Segovia!
Sometimes the person that write the reviews on jazz players have to have better improvisation skills and imagination than the player being reviewed.Then when you hear them you got to scratch your head and wonder is this the same person i read about?
Were you playing one of the wolfhardt studies?
16:40 "Big Shoes"? Love that tune.
@Protean Polymath okay, thanks! I assumed it was about either some big dude (big feet), or the idea of "big shoes to fill", like Jimmy's dad (or something like that). All the best!
Who wrote Big Shoes? I can't seem to find it.
The song Big Shoes was written by Mr Bruno and appears on his Sleight of Hand record. You asked 5 years ago, hope you found it by now, just saw your comment. It’s a great tune.
your videos make me want to start smoking again
You are now my Teacher/Mentor - You pass the test -hahaha
You are original man!
hahaha ban spoons lol. Music comes from the heart and involves practice I am convinced.
Oh and jazz and classical takes some real study. I may not comprehend such music but I really appreciate what you do.
Jimmy, do you like Grady Martin's playing?
Don't know who that is
@@JimmyBrunoJazz he was a Nashville session guy. Played and recorded for Willie Nelson and others. He was the guitar player on El Paso for Marty Robbins.
Great!
thanks for the tips!
Jimmy how's the boy?
Soap box it!
Oh shoot.......wrong video. I thought by the title this was about Fetterman or Biden.
No brain=trump
hey Jimmy. I just emailed you through the website. Thanks.
Jimmy!!
10:00 scales
🙏
jimmy, break out some of those Christmas tunes.
You know you only get to play them once a year.🚬
homeless men
bitter man
Another vulgar Philly curmudgeon...who happens to play jazz guitar like a god.
Over reharm, over arranging...yuck. It's likes painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. What's with these hip large ensemble interpretations of Thelonius Monk tunes? Why fuck up a Monk tune...they are already fucking weird enough.
