What a joy it is to hear you play. I don't know any of this stuff but it sure is pretty. When you broke into the opening from "Milestones", made my day Jimmy. Good stuff indeed. Thank you from New Zealand.
It's your name, Jimmy. As soon as I spotted that you had a UA-cam channel,I immediately subscribed. I've watched every post you've done. I've never stopped learning and. I'm sure lots of your gang watch,as I do,and rewind. Thanks,Boss.
Since I'm watching your videos, I have changed the way I think music, you opened up my mind with the "pitch collection" and the scrabble thing. Now I can play half bar ii v's like the Parker tunes. Thank you Jimmy
You have to be one of the top 6-7 jazz players in the world. Don't get a big head. Players are afraid of greatness, they don't want to be showed up. Stars, matinee symbols , certainly don't want to be "outshined". Fuck 'em; you are my guitarist.
Excellent, thanks! I love the Persichetti book. My conducting teacher was a student of his way back when. Persichetti's compositions are quite beautiful as well. His book and Hindemith's Craft of Musical Composition are my go-to theory books. When I go to them, that is. ;-)
funny gig example on Stella, that exact thing happened when the pianist was old school and played the diminished chord, the rest of us played the post WW2 changes.
Damn you know your stuff man, thanks for teaching me something. I’m gonna watch this video a couple times so I can fully get everything out of this lesson
I always preferred the "Martino" approach as well, which is what it seems like you're referring to as well! 1 diminished chord is actually 4 dominant 7ths with their root raised. Not even counting the altered dominants.
A diminshed 7th chord is a way of leaving the key signatures. In other words, the diminished 7th chords are not in any specific key so when you play them you are floating free.
not to sound like a theory jerkoff (a great phrase by the way), but a useful trick Gene Bertoncini once told me in a lesson: take any diminished voicing and move one or more of the notes up a whole step within the chord.
Here’s one way to think about that “trick”. Suppose the chord of the moment is G7, setting up for Cmajor. Playing any inversion of Abdim7 over a G bass note gives you a G7b9 chord. Now, consider what interval you are adding to the G7 chord when you raise each of those dim7 tones by a whole step: Raising Ab by a whole step gives you Bb, the #9 of G7. Raising B by a whole step gives you C#, the #11 of G7. Raising D by a whole step gives you E, the 6th of G7. Raising F# by a whole step obviously gives you the root of G7. The b9, #11th or 6th may or may not work over the G7. It depends on where you’re headed and what your bandmates are doing. Any of those notes are probably fair game if you are the soloist, but if you are comping for another soloist be very careful with this “trick” as you don’t want to clash with the soloist’s choices! However, since each of those three tones are 1/2 step below a chord tone, you can use them as a chromatic approach. I’m not certain I’ve stated this 100% correctly, so I’d welcome any critique-especially from Jimmy!
Good, very good. Man, that's fucking teaching. I pinned this one to saved videos on UA-cam because l will refer to it often. Thanks Jim, you're one of the best.
Very useful info. I appreciate how you teach the info and then demonstrate how it works within different tunes. Another cool use of diminished is preceding a I-major chord with a I-diminished (I like to do that on Misty...Eb diminished followed by Eb major) It works nicely in chord melodies, depending on the what the melody is. However, I've heard piano players overuse that and force it in tunes and then it can get annoying.
The Persichetti book. What wealth of information. I got it a while back. Why did I stop reading it? Cause I gotta play fast and loose and impress everybody with arpeggios and intervals and scales. Fuck all that shit. I doesn't matter how blazing one's leads are if they cannot play music. Man, I found the place you were reading, "diminished and augmented chords are MISSPELLINGS of dominant 7th chords......". Man; reliance on fake books, which are made for arrangers; is doom for an instrumentalist.
Got it!!! When I started using diminished chords as dominant all of a sudden the directions and choices multiplied exponentially. That 20th Century Harmony book is a must-have for any contemporary musician imho. BTW who is the pretentious arse making comments who calls himself genius improvisor. He is a total hack.
YOUR ability to play is like ones ability to Cook.. That ability could come From your grandma, q book or 15 years in school AND 15 years working..,BUT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO COOK?? THAT'S THE POINT AND CLEARLY 5HE BEST FOOD DON'T HAVE TO COME🎉 FROM THE ONE MOST TRAINED, IN FACT with no problems at All people eat by choice from those who are not trained or who are trained a small amount...so , what is Made is a function of the person, their taste, Their creativity, their INVENTIONS

Just what I needed this morning 👍
Thanks Jimmy
Thanks so much Jim for sharing your musical knowledge of the guitar!
I got that,Jimmy! Thanks for that lesson. You are so generous with sharing your talent and knowledge.
Thanks Jimmy well explained...cheers from Australia

post ww2 changes. I like that
Jimmy Bruno we both looked at each other like wtf did you play!
Damn you know your stuff man, thanks for teaching me something. I’m gonna watch this video a couple times so I can fully get everything out of this lesson
This is priceless thank you a lot Jimmy I'm improving my playing day by day by watching your videos.
i love the way you hammer the note.,nice job
Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll have to get a copy of that.
Love your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Just what I was thinking about to day, and ways to use them. Again Thanks
Great lessons! Thank you Jimmy!
Thank you. This was awesome! May God bless you*
Thank you Mister Bruno. I wish you a happy and healthy new year!
Got that indeed... very cool :)
Thanks Jimmy, great info. 👍
Jimmy ya makin'' me miss livin' in Jersey.
Thanks Jimmy 🙏
I always preferred the "Martino" approach as well, which is what it seems like you're referring to as well! 1 diminished chord is actually 4 dominant 7ths with their root raised. Not even counting the altered dominants.
.. I'm not sure what Pat sounds about soloing over diminished chords

not to sound like a theory jerkoff (a great phrase by the way), but a useful trick Gene Bertoncini once told me in a lesson: take any diminished voicing and move one or more of the notes up a whole step within the chord.
that always makes a nice chord. He didn't get that out of a theory book

@@kirkp_nextguitar very good
@@kirkp_nextguitar you got it 100% correct
nice playing

I think you are hearing a D triad over the Eb note in the bass or an Ab7-5 to Eb
C# diminished over A is that A7 flat nine, nice to meet people that think like I do right on the button Jimmy thanks for reminding me.
Yes but just A7
Diminished chords are dominant 7th chords. Got it!
definitely the villain chord from the silent movie era!
Protean Polymath i think of Nell on Dudley Dooright as well w Snidely Whiplash bwahahaaaaa!
is there any more old books you could recomend
Thanks for this!

got rid of him...His horn and music sounds like he got them at Wal mart
I just heard him... I think he studied at Wal MART..nice to see you helping getting rid of him.. In the language of JImmy Bruno... FUCK HIM!!!!!!!
@Protean Polymath do't let a few assholes ruin it for the ret of it. Post on .
That's funny, I think "Guys Who Fuck Sewer Rats" would go down a treat as a video title on other websites...
awesome video Jimmy,,, now i know i know nothing.... I've a lot of work to do...coz this doing diminished into 7th chords I'm fucking gone.. no idea.

When is your truefire course coming out Jimmy? I'm so thankful to my guitar teacher for telling me to watch No Nonsense Jazz Guitar.
next year
What book is this?
Which page were you starting at? Thanks for your generosity of wisdom.
the page on domths , don't haver the book near me now
Jimmy, your a genius.🚬
Not a genius just a guy who has been playing music for a living for over 50 years
PAT MARTINO would take a diminished chord and show how you can play chords off of it by moving a finger
In his interview from Guitar Player magazine, 1977. (He was on the cover)
LIKE GREEN DOPLHIN STREET - DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FOOL
👌😁
LOL...Tighten up on the Tracks ... LOL flash back it was playing Little bit Of Soul for me on the tracks
