Comprehending how and why a song is structured is paramount to improvement, and that’s Jimmy’ goal: To teach you the methods of musical Jazz composition so you can take that teaching and make your own thing sing.Īre you willing to share your 12 key spreadsheet? I’ll take all the help and understanding I can get! Mastering a few runs makes you feel like an accomplished musician - but all you’re really doing is imitating a certain style for five seconds. Thanks for the excellent extended detail, Richard! That locked the approach in for me- watching my fingers land somewhere I wasn’t fast enough to think of, and it was right! Vicariously, I am getting corrective instruction…….the has precluded doing a video as “problem addressed”ģ) r/e the 5 tone collections: I followed his video instructions closely after a certain point, your fingers know where to go before you head does. But the technical excuses are now gone and its important to do it, so I will that said, the Master Classes are comprised many players at my level, making the identical mistakes I make. I set up a spread sheet with a 12 key grid for each exercise that really helped, doing the small exercises in twelve keys however,its murder when learning whole tunes, but persistence pays off.Ģ) I had the benefit of Jimmy’s input during his “Bruno Bash” he watched me play and gave me some very useful feedback I am on the site dailly but have yet to send a video in, for a few reasons, some technical, some practical and some plain ol’ chicken stuff. a special scale or formula that will “transform your playing over night” or “secrets revealed” or “riff-o-matic” approaches that promise easy gains JB made clear that its lots and lots of hard work and focused practice – no short cuts ironically, the clarity and honesty in his approach makes the journey real and something about his frank attitude rings very true & attainable you know what to do and where to go and you do see progress. There was not a hardest thing per se……as the site started small in terms of assignments and materials but has grown significantly things of value that immediatey effected my playing wereġ) getting rid of magical thinking e.g. If, however, you don’t know what - II-V-I - means, then you aren’t quite ready for Jimmy to teach you. The website recently celebrated its first anniversary online and I am impressed by the depth of the provided teaching. There is a lot of content in Jimmy Bruno’s Guitar Workshop that could easily challenge a top Jazz guitar player for a year or more, and new content and lessons are being added all the time.
You must first submit a video of you playing Jimmy’s “Five Fingerings” in all 12 Keys to qualify you for getting future directed assignments, and perhaps, video feedback, from Jimmy. The core of Jimmy’s teaching is in offering public or confidential Master Classes - you choose your privacy preference - as part of your subscription package.
JIMMY DILLON GUITAR LESSONS REVIEW PDF
I argue PDF files can only help build deeper comprehension. Jimmy feels PDF files will make you lazy and inattentive - he wants you to figure it all out on your own. I disagree with him on that note, because my philosophy of online teaching is that the distance between teacher and student is tough enough to conquer, and anything and everything you can offer to help bridge better learning and facilitate understanding is something that should be done. He also is against providing explanatory PDF files for every teaching video. If you can’t name all the notes on the fretboard, you will have trouble with his teaching method. Jimmy’s workshop is not for the novice guitarist.
You can tell he hasn’t just given over his name for branding the site. Jimmy is always entertaining and fun and his rough personality is a breath of fresh talent and seriousness you don’t get with this sort of direct, mainstream, access to a SuperStar. The site is well-programmed and easy to navigate by experience level.
