features: Jimmy Bruno, after years of playing
with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Barbara
Streisand, Buddy Rich and more, has taken a permanent
place as one of the Jazz World's top young guitarists.
He has lightning fast chops but never substitutes
speed for melodic content. On these videos, Jimmy
shares valuable guitar knowledge he has garnered
over years of experience with sincere enthusiasm
and his infectious sense of humor. He covers: his
approach to ii/V/I progressions, understanding arpeggios,
fingerings, visualizing scales, trailing hands &
ears to work together, using scales against different
chords, working with notes outside the scale, visualizing
the guitar as a piano, the note of resolution, altered
dominant possibilities, pedal patterns, melodic
minor scale, natural picking techniques, breaking
the up and down picking habit, adding bass lines
to chords, unique turnarounds, melodic cells and
an introduction to 7 string guitar. Jimmy masterfully
reduces these difficult topics into terms that any
student of jazz guitar can easily utilize. This
2-volume video could also be titled "Everything
you wanted to know about Jazz guitar but were afraid
to ask" or maybe "This video and a fake
book are all you'll ever need". Seriously,
Jimmy has managed to cover all the fundamentals
of playing the instrument in this video. Not only
that, his method of learning scale and chord fingerings
are so simple as to be innovative. Throughout, his
easy conversational style and the excellent videography
make this video a joy to watch. LEVEL 3, #VGB210
