love you man

the one and only Jimmy Bruno!❤

Come play third and Lindsley in Nashville. I’d love to see you and Jack Pearson play a show.

Ok I may have a decent question. Is it rare that a tune would modulate and end up in another key? Will tunes generally stay in a key center by the end? Anyway been taking 8 note scale you showed and speaking the degrees and it is helping get familiar with how its contstructed and where I am. Now thinking next step is speaking the note names kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHLKpGOta9OEmK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWe0fH-lp5drjZo&ab

Jimmy just noodling around accidentally playing some of The Beatles "Yes It Is" @ 3:36-3:41

hope you last till next b day , thanks for posting great info on your channel. please let up on the cigarettes a bit, i am a smoker too. and i shouldnt give any feedback , but i wish you good health my friend. stay safe and healthy . well wishes from Virginia

So as a rule you always miss out beginning on the root and the fourth of these pitch collections? You only begin on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th within each of the 12 keys?

Jimmy, hello from Kansas City, Missouri. You continue to have a Long and Successful Career. What do you attribute this to, and is it something that other Jazz Musicians can learn from? Thanks.

Jimmy, That’s a great warm-up exercise. Will do!!

I hope you keep sharing like this. A treasure

Thanks Jimmy. Really nice to get back to how you used to present these i.e. just talking about all sorts of stuff with a bit of playing in-between. I loved your early videos and your gigs down in he basement.

Its easy

Jimmy, I’ve got a question about an approach to learning, particularly solo guitar. I spend a lot of time working out my own arrangements; but do you believe copying someone like Joe Pass off the record would be time well spent?

And a partridge in a pair tree. And a flute

Thanks for the memories! Oh yea just the 8 note scale going up and down the the key center you recently showed starting from each degree, there are lots of ways to do it incorporated into the fingerings! Also counting on the and before the one really helps feel the time better and different than starting on the one I think... thanks

It would be convenient to have the most common chord progressions catalogued in one place, such as, (1) I, IV, V, (2) I, vi, ii, V, (3) i, iv, V, etc. Nearly all of popular music probably fits within six or eight progressions, with variations/ key shifts, so learning these (over the top of the five fingerings) would be a good head-start on harmonic education.

You sir are amazing

Thank you

Do you ever get tired of playing the guitar or enjoy less ?

Mr. Bruno your videos are so fu***** cool

I just ate two large Oreo McFlurrys

You're the best Jimmy! Love your videos on here.

legend

Nice ‘Moon River’ the wife loves that song, I made up an arrangement but it changes all the time. So thanks for some ideas. 👍

Nice to come home to; much wisdom.

Lol….Jimmy you don’t have to sing.

Why are most of the comments turned off on your videos?

Excellent info Jimmy! Interesting chords. I love that Eastman guitar! Great sound....

Love all your videos Jimmy. Awesome playing like always. Your insights are always welcome.

After teaching a long day in high school, your videos, guitar information and stories are a "breath of fresh air" thank you Mr. Bruno !

What's the name of what you play at the end of. "My biggest jazz guitar influences" ? kzbin.infoUgkxOqLSeOHkv9mqOg19r0BuDNNUiU8zohm2?si=_3fkU_X3aSGd9ogV

Dunbarton Oaks Concerto. Just listened. Beautiful.

Do you have a list of every track you ever played on?

I was a mostly full time gigging musician from the late 70's through the 90's playing clubs and in bands as opening act for recording stars. Bass was my number one instrument and I was great for copying what was on records but didn't know squat about theory and couldn't read music except for charts. So now with time on my hands, I'm finally learning guitar and trying to catch up on what I should have learned decades ago. I greatly appreciate your videos, I just wish now I wasn't so freakin' broke !

Sometimes I wonder if I can't stand most of the popular new music being pushed on the public today because I have no good memories associated with it......however, that ain't it because I think if I actually liked it, I'd have to be pretty screwed up.

Hey Jimmy, thanks for your heart felt comments. I'm right with you about the importance of music triggering memories. The music I love the most is from the 60's and 70's because those were happier times for me as a kid and teenager. My mother had a huge jazz album collection going back to the 40's, so that's what I listened to as a kid along with what was popular on the radio. Those memories shaped to what I love now. Songs mean different things to different people based on how they relate to it. I can say "barn door" to one person and it might remind them of a farm they love.......I can say "barn door" to another person and they hate it because that their dad push them through every time he smacked 'em around. It's all relative ...excuse the pun.

I agree about music, i.e., certain songs like certain smells trigger certain memories - some good, some bad, some extreme emotions ranging from sad and depressing to happy and joyful.

Love you Mr Bruno!

You wish you could sing? Whenever I sing, people say the same thing, “We wish you could could sing!” 😮

Love watching Jimmy videos after a long day in the tollbooth. Cent anni, Bruno!

Crooked music! 🤣😂😜

I kept f--ing up at tollbooth school and they sent me here. I don't where to go now!

20:37 Your final piece of advice was the one I needed; I’m just about to restring my Eastman 905 and love flatwounds, but wondered if roundwounds might be worth trying.

Mr Stravinsky is right, now I know why I love listening to you Mr Bruno, it’s the snippets of songs you play that trigger a lot of great memories. And, you make me think about my guitar playing.

One of the piano guys I get on youtube says something like dont get too swept up in emotions and make these faces in that it effects technique keeping relaxed for concentrated energy. Personally there are some songs I listen to that I dont even like that much, its more for the memories. Did not like flatwound of course I knew less about guitars when I tried them and did not like the guitar they were on

Always a pleasure, nothing but respect. You intimidate me! I will never play at your level. Been trying nearly 50 years. Some folks just know at young age how to make an instrument speak freely. Seemingly never making any mistakes. That’s not me. But you guys inspire the shit out of me. Yesterday, I performed the old Johnny Mercer / Hoagy Carmichael “Skylark” not a big deal but subtle. Background music that defines an atmosphere. I credit you helping me achieve the shitty version I shared that was all my own, from the heart. Made me cry. Lol why I love music and the places it can take you. Away from BS and more akin positive thoughts human ✌️🫶🤓

There was a club on every corner back in the 70's and 80's and you could make a living as a meat and potatoes musician (playing Top40)---but even back then you could starve as a Jazz musician. The world has changed.

Makes my day!

I don't mind that you're not playing tunes, I'm stealing some cool shit right now.

When I’m sitting in my toll booth and the traffic’s getting slow, I pick up my jazz box when the cameras off, you know. . . And I practice Jimmy’s Etudes with that Barry Harris Sixth and pretend the coins they toss at me will get me to weatherman’s school. . . Quick.
