DVD Reviews of Jimmy Bruno: Inside Outside Jazz Guitar
DVD Review: Jazz soloing put in persepective
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best instructional device for learning and even thinking about jazz guitar soloing. Not only does Jimmy show you actual moves and where you can go to grab the notes that you want, he mentally breaks down the barrier that's been erected by well-intentioned but ineffective college jazz professors. In college, where thousands of musicians or aspiring musicians pay money to improve their knowledge and skill, the teachers tend to teach in a way that MOST people can understand. They take the "average" student and try to find the "best" way to teach that "average" person jazz and improvisation. This almost always invariably involves memorising and practicing every major and minor scale in every key, the dominant seventh scales (mixolydian mode) the other modes, starting from every finger on the 2 lowest strings up and down 2 octaves. Get your breath now. Then, after you can play them in your sleep, you can attempt to put those scales or at least "parts" of those scales into jazz chord progressions and see if you can get them to fit. Good luck with that. Oh, and you also get to learn a couple Arab scales, pentatonic, and 12 tone. For the so-called "average" player, who doesn't sing or sight-sing, can't match pitch, doesn't play more than one instrument, and has little or no "natural" talent, this actually helps them become successful at putting some notes down into a song that will "fit" and sound pleasant over the chord progression. But for the vast percentage of people (maybe as high as 50%) who CAN sing, sight-sing, know a pitch, plays more than one instrument, and has at least SOME measure of natural ear and talent, this method confuses and slows down their performances resulting in "wrong" notes and unpleasant sounds. The student is taught to do mental super gymnastics while in the midst of fast moving music and chord changes that blow by in a second while trying to improvise and physically manage their instruments. ANyone who has a modicom of natural talent suddenly finds themselves sounding "worse" than they ever have and questioning their own natural abilities (and career choice) when they had previously played very nicely for years without anyone's help or interference. What might work well to teach the "masses" doesn't always work for those who have naturally gifted skill or naturally gifted ears. If you ask the "greats" like Oscar Peterson, most pros say that they ARE'NT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING when they are playing. They are in a "zone" or "groove" or are in the "pockect" or "jammin'". Words that describe more how a person "feels" rather than what they are doing and how they are doing it. Jimmy Bruno teaches you how to stop thinking so much while you are trying to play and trying to enjoy the process. Music really shouldn't be a dire experience with punishments awaiting those who "fail". He shows you how to stop worrying about "wrong notes". He shows you how there are NO wrong notes. He shows you how to play an A-flat minor 7 scale over a C major chord and make it fit and sound nice. It's all about how you approach the notes you play and where they lead up to--the melody-- not what actual tones you are playing. This is a must have for all guitarists trying to improve improvising.
