DVD Reviews of Jimmy Bruno: No Nonsense Jazz Guitar
DVD Review: For jazz lead improvisation
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD goes well with Bruno's book Six Essential Fingerings. The DVD does come with a printed transcription book. However the book Six Essential Fingerings lays out the scale modes in fingering patterns as dots on a fretboard which makes it easier to study rather than trying to read tab. Also check out Joe Pass live at Montreux 1977 the one with Masquerade.DVD Review: Jazz Guitar Players Take Note
Summary: 5 Stars
For you advanced guitar players interested in jazz; this DVD is a must have. If you don't learn something from Mastro Bruno, they'll give you your money back. The DVD makes for a wonderful Christmas gift; regardless of one's level of playing.

Summary: 2 Stars
The initial demonstration of guitar playing by Jimmy Bruno was very good.However It was not clear from the advertisement,that it was mainly a teaching tool.Mr.Bruno,is a horrendous teacher.He is much too complex,and assumes a lot of prior knowledge.He goes much too fast,and should have brief breaks during which the student is allowed to practice what he has just taught in the prior segment.It would be much better if he confined the entire D.V.D.to demonstration Jazz guitar playing,with a series of different melodies.It is fascinating just to watch a virtuoso,at any instrument, playDVD Review: Extremely helpful video
Summary: 5 Stars
Not for total beginners. But if you know a few chords and like jazz, but have been struggling with understanding scales, progressions, and now really sure how to get your arms around learning the guitar -this video is perfect. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as a quick fix. You will need to practice every day. The good news is that Jimmy Bruno shows you what to practice and how to practice.
I've looked at dozens of videos on learning the guitar. This is by far the best.
Mr. Bruno, thank you!
DVD Review: Awesome stuff...
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this from Netflix as I like to check out various styles of guitar playing. Within 15 minutes of viewing I knew I had to own this disc (and do)! The way Jimmy explains his approach to jazz is easy to understand for those who have some playing under their belt. Putting it into action will require some practice, but the method is there for you if you want to put in the time.
I also thought he was a pretty entertaining guy as well as a good instructor. I've seen a few other of the "Hot Licks" DVDs and there are some that may be great players, but they are NOT good teachers!! And a few others that have just plain deadpan personalities...
