Past Artists- Jimmy Bruno ( April, 2008)

What our members had to say !

"Jimmy Bruno gives a great clinic.  He is supremely knowledgeable, and he's funny.  He started by telling us to burn the Real Book and finished by telling us to check out his web site.  In between he taught the 5 shapes, 3 note chords and improvising.  I had a lot of fun"

Clinic: “The Five Shapes”
 

Born July 22, 1953, in Philadelphia, Bruno started learning to play guitar at age 7 from his father. He began playing professionally right after high school and his first big professional gig came at age 19, when he went on the road with Buddy Rich. For several years, he lived in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, playing commercial music. He made a good living but was unsatisfied musically during this period.

Jimmy Bruno has as much to say with words as he does with his music. One simple question sparks an extended response that shows great refinement of thought. On several topics, he shows us his growth as a person and a player as he indicates how his thoughts changed through the years.
