Crude, vulgar, funny, and utterly brilliant. A real pleasure to listen, and learn. Thank you!

You're awesome Jimmy. You're up there with guys like Joe Diorio, Pat Martino. I'm a huge fan👍

oh Yeah! What a great player. A gift to hear him play the guitar on these standards.

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 .

Nice to be here listening you.

Swing your ass off Bruno !!! Thanks for the tunes this morning, they're all favorites 👍.

Thanks for another great video Jimmy good stuff 👍

Marvelous playing Jimmy! Fabulous chords and single note lines! I think you are a genius!!!

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.

I always feel like litin' up when I watch your vids!

Man I just had a spiritual experience riffing on that Bb maj 7 (the b flat with the F triad you were talking about.) Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

Studying Darn That Dream now. What a great tune.

Man you’re fantastic and funny too Its. Gonna be a sense of humor Thanks a lot

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.

Good for you getting the recording work in nyc.

So good love it...

I’m with you Jimmy, Barry’s system explains a lot. Great playing sir.

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

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.

Keep em coming!

Hey Jimmy! You're back home! Suddenly, so am I! I should get a life, but you been carryin" me for quite some time now. Thanks, friend! Play sumpin' good.

Can confirm, everyone in jazz school plays Am - D7 on the bridge of All the things

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.

Hi Jimmy I love your teachings,,,hope you are OK DD

Thank you Jimmy:)

Jimmy, don't ever stop! Somewhere down the line, another player will capture my ears. I consider that to be disaster day! All my love.

Wow! How many times have you played those masterpieces to get that level of performance?

Thank you brother! (for telling the truth)!

Nice Jimmy!!

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

What is your favorite album of yours with laid back relaxing songs?

How you going to play chord substitutions if you dont know the right chord to begin with...🤔🤣

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

What was that warmup Jimmy? I like it

Wow incredible little lesson on All the Things! Thanks

Great intro :D

Can you do Epistrophy foe?

That added minor 6th blew my mind. But I'm not so technically advanced, therefore not hard to do.

First cord of Stella by starlight Bb diminish That’s what Barry talks all the time Try that its pretty You’re great !!!

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.

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.

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.

ouch

Man I swear I mentioned Barry Harris in the comments like a year ago asking you what you thought. Im sure it was someone else who turned you onto him but I’m glad I finally got an answer!

There coming out with vinyl again so forget technology

I use those strings, too -- but my guitar doesn't sound like that. Maybe I should try to get a refund . . . or maybe I should use a different pick. Yeah, that's it.

Barry has been known to drop an curse word or two as well. But seriously, a bebop and hard bop duo, live from assisted living, would be GREAT and sell too.

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?

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. C'est la vie." I love jazz but will never understand it. I think that's why I'm drawn to it - it's a foreign language.

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
