While I think most of your points are well taken (and I tend to
agree), I don't know that dissing any jazz guitar guy is
appropriate
for this list. On the other hand, Jimmy is a guy who has really had
to discover his own approach to music and I really respect him for
that. Of course, calling a CD "Midnight Blue" - I don't know about
that...

I have seen and taken numerous classes with jimmy and his
approach and view
is soo black and white and offensive to me. His views on pat
metheny made me
want to scream! Jimmy Bruno feels threatened by the thought of
music at a
new level. I used to love him..... then i just started to see a
lot of
shallowness in his playing. Im sorry if im being to blunt here...
but these are my feelings. His technique has suffered greatly
also... i asked what he prctices to keep in shape... he replied
"well, i dont feel the need to practice anymore". It was really
evident when he was showing us scales. He would also play an
exercise as fast as he could just to impress the class.
He kept messing up! Not everyone is perfect, but thats why
theres practice!
anyone else agree??
hit me back!

why d you keep taking the classes? Remember, I can only teach what
I believe to be true. It is only my opinion and it is the way I
learned... you can take it or leave it
