Hi Jimmy , how lovely your playing is ...Will always be ! Great Jazz guitarists like you are so humble and full of generosity .stay well & ,safe .

[@MrBradWi]

I spent most of my first 50 years making up "home-grown" patterns for all the white keys on the guitar, but I never paid attention to the black keys, even though they're just the usual 2 finger rock shapes. And I've wasted zillions of hours widdling around with those. White keys, black keys and the twain only ever met on my guitar by accident. When I saw some of Barry Harris videos, it really explained a lot of things to me that I couldn't figure out on my own. And his observation about not asking jazz players how to play jazz was spot on. It is so fortunate that technology has given us a way to access this kind of wisdom. And we are also so fortunate to preserve some of Jimmy's insights, foul or not. I'm just a hack hobbyist who plays for fun, so I don't mind if I play an Am7 instead of the "right" chord. But I can hear the difference and having someone simply point that out is of great value to guys like me. Obviously it shouldn't take a player of Jimmy's caliber to have to point that out to jazz beginners, but it is much appreciated. I've recently ordered his DVDs just to hear more of his "approach" to teaching. So, to Jimmy, may you land many more gigs in venues that give you a chance to have fun and share the joy with other players and stretch out.

[@christiangarcia9245]

George Duvivier said to Barry Harris... “I’m so glad you played that A half diminished”

[@jamescammack6720]

George Duvivier was one of my favorite bass players in the day.

[@MichaelNeverisky]

I used to read the news in the morning, bad idea. Now I see what Jimmy Bruno has to say while I'm drinking coffee. The "Sweet Lorraine" set made my day! Thanks for that. And Barry Harris... Another "no nonsense" approach to jazz , be-bop style. One of his students has a channel called " Things I learned... " with examples played on guitar.

by the way, love your videos. I learn more in 5 minutes just absorbing all the folded information that some explicit "lessons"

[@dananthony6258]

Omg now I know what Barry was saying. It is the minor b5. I could never figure out why it never sounded right. I’m studying the c6 diminished chord scale harmony and it’s brilliant. RIP Barry Harris.

Holy S, what a difference the flat 5 makes in the B of All the things, wow. B flat over that, to G?? I use subs, I sub the wrong chords for the rights ones! That note took the suckage level down a little. Ty

“Right” is “temporary” however, not always.

[@denny6281]

Coincidence? I was just listening to Oscar Peterson's LP "With respect to Nat". Sweet Lorraine, with Herb Ellis doing his Freddy Greene thing. Album from 1965.

[@freddymclain]

If you haven't tried Thomastik Enfeld strings, you should. they're expensive, BUT they sound great and they last a long time, so it sort of evens out. It's been said that there would be no jazz without the diminished chord.

[@ronaldboykin9755]

Nice Jimmy!!

[@raefblack7906]

Can you do Epistrophy foe?

[@deadheadrichie]

Barry Harris' insights have really helped me as a player, great musician. Hey Jimmy, you asked "what do you want me to play?" how about "You make me feel so young" ? I've been learning that one lately, be good to see your take on it. Also, i wanted to ask if you know a Dexter Gordon track called "Ca Purange" from the album of the same name? Don't know if it'll be to your taste but check it out if you don't know it. I think the energy is amazing and Hank Jones' piano solo is up there with the greatest in my opinion. Keep up the vids man, make me smile every time i watch one. Adios.

Very L.A. move. Gets you to show so that more people see him and his "group". "Hey, I got Nicholson all lined up with Michael Bay directing, script by Mario Puzo's parakeet, and Renata Taldwin is guaranteed for "Cookie". "You gotta get in on this action, man." Meanwhile the guy does nothing, thinks he's a "producer" while he's just getting between you and your money. And there's thousands of these assholes in L.A.

You should switch to some low-action nylon flamenco jobby :P (just teasing, while mildly suggesting a random idea. you could always buy one used for a $100 or something) your fingers and wrists will thank you. but seriously, is it electric or acoustic? why the cult of thunk thunk? both bolt-on industrial steel logs and delicate resonant sound-boxes have advanced since Charles Christian and Django graced our planet, why are some guys on teles/strats/pauls and some are just archtop-4-life and such?

[@amedeo1993]

Jimmy Rocks!!!!.... Thank You Sir:-)

[@dougsours1]

another things he says about All the Things is that sometimes people play c-minor9 over the iii chord, which is not right, because the 9th (D) is not in the key of Ab. So when people play Cminor9 on all the things it sounds sorta fucked up. good point mr. harris.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

The iiim chord is Phrygian, and no b9 on a minor chord.

PROOF that you're "gifted" this way, or you're not. You "hear" those subtleties in the chords, or you don't. I've been playing guitar all my life and still don't hear what he hears. Never will.

[@bobbybrooks4826]

You miss that it doesn't need to be technical or complicated to be good, no MORE than a 390 french cooked 3 hour to Make meal is better than a 15 minute hamburger.... and in fact anything requires the simple aspect to be good.. Thus, a bunch of sustain or a simple but New melody that sings that speaks that moves your body is art AND is better than modal formulated embellished jazz, You talk about not liking things like boxes or alt tuning because it's repetitive but so is jazz modes even as it sounds great, it's STILL Modal..... ALSO, WE LOOK FOR NEW IN MUSIC, new totally or new versions better than old.. Now just playing well is fine BUT it's not a following you Will have, you will have a show, a show that no one needs to see that many time's... also, music aline is only a part of a musical experience Thus Very few music ONLy acts have ever been major..it was mostly music AND song or music AND dance.... head jazz was the death of jazz in a certain path of it... jazz or and or technical playing is best a ingredient to what is good popular music.. There's a ton of BAD lead guitar playing in groups that have produced decent tunes, this is where you should HAVE gone and not oo pooed Their expression...the expression that sells albulms and shows
