Jonny Smith what a monster!!! Beautiful music

[GinraiMinor]

I found someone on youtube that's worth listening to what they have to say about playing guitar, excellent touch Mr.Bruno sir!!

[hosseinm]

That guitar, in your hands, has a beautiful tone.

I am really enjoying these impromptu videos. I was a former subscriber to your online school. Very in-depth lessons that I simply didn’t have time to thoroughly study due to work and family at the time. I am now retired and ready to dig in. Will donate! Thanks Jimmy!

"I'm in the Mood for Love"

is a popular song published in 1935. The music was written by Jimmy McHugh, with the lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The song was introduced by Frances Langford in the movie Every Night at Eight released that year.

It became Langford's signature song. Bob Hope, who frequently worked with Langford entertaining troops in World War II, later wrote that her performance of the song was often a show-stopper.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Honey but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love

[Verse 2]
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love

[Bridge]
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

[Verse 3]
If there's a cloud above
And it must rain, we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love.

Be careful what you wish for. Great advice. Anyway, my daughter lives in Philly with her fiancé. I told them to come down tomorrow to support you. Support real music for change.

I love seeing you play with this kind of guitar and this kind of sound, and you've done me a huge favour with this one. Thanks Jimmy.

[insidejazzguitar]

Thank you! I liked how you switched from the melody on the bottom to top. Gave me ideas. Yes loved hearing this on that 335.

[kryptonicloser]

I just found your channel and I gotta say I wish I could spend a day in a room full of gear with you

That's the thing I love about your videos. As spot-on as you are with those jazzy chord melodies, you aren't afraid to admit your weaknesses too, like vibrato, tapping and string bending for a start. I think every musician excels in some areas and is lacking in others. It's just the nature of how things work out.

[wadecottingham]

I like the precision sound you get on those strings!

[michaelscerbo]

I study with a guy who knows you. The grasp you guys have on the instrument is unreal. But then again that’s why you guys play like you do. Complete control over the instrument. I’m learning as best as I can but damn is it hard sometimes haha.

[pnesap]

Beautiful playing Jimmy.
Would you please do video about those subtle nuances between 2 and 5 chord? It's like you're keeping same shape but 1 finger makes the difference.

[Spock_Rogers]

Happy Birthday, Jimmy! 💫 I hope all your wishes come true! 💕✌️🤩🎉🎁🎂

[KevinAEDGuitareBlues]

Thank you for sharing. This guitar sounds beautiful and your playing is fascinating as always !

The Plot:

A Vermont farm girl Gwen Harding enrolls in the renowned Devereau dance school in the New York. Her singing makes her semi-popular, and she is soon noticed by fellow student Richard "Slick" Ellis. Ellis' jealous girlfriend Brenda Allenby is soon involved. Farm problems conflict with dance school life and even though her new friends try to help out, other problems, including a vindictive romantic rival, arise.


"Moonlight in Vermont" is a popular song about the U.S. state of Vermont, written by John Blackburn (lyrics) and Karl Suessdorf (music) and published in 1944. It was introduced by Margaret Whiting in a 1944 recording.


The song's lyrics are unusual for not rhyming, but instead following a haiku pattern of five syllabus, seven syllables, and five syllables again. They also pay tribute to the sycamore tree — which is native to Vermont — but is not among its most common trees, according to the Arbor Day Foundation.

Still, its quirky charm had wide appeal, especially for soldiers stationed away from home for World War II. The lyrics "presented an idealized picture of what many of the soldiers had left behind, " Vermont Encyclopedia co-author Harry Orth told the Burlington Free Press.

In the 1990's, a group of lawmakers tried to make "Moonlight in Vermont" the state's official song, but were ultimately defeated. Some thought the song's melody would be too difficult for the average person to sing. Still, many supported the initiative.

D. Thomas Toner, professor of music at the University of Vermont, told the Burlington Free Press about the times when the university band performed the song in Germany, Austria, and Slovakia. "People were singing, even in Slovak, which was very interesting, " Toner said. "It's a piece that people all around the world knew."

Lyrics:

Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont

Icy finger waves
Ski trails on a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely

Evening summer breeze
Warbling of the meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely

Evening summer breeze
The warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont.

I came across your chord system with the 4 basic shapes on YouTube and am thrilled. I have also tried to add tensions, but am a bit overwhelmed by the variety of possibilities. Do you also have a Tensions system? And do you explain it somewhere in your videos "No Nonsense Jazz Guitar", "Inside Outside Jazz Guitar" or your new "In The Style of Jimmy Bruno" series at DC Music School? The videos of the JBGI don't seem to be available, after all.

By the way, your directional picking system is also ingenious! It's higly economical and takes away the worry of the right picking direction. Electric guitar virtuoso Marshall Harrison uses your technique and mentions you repeatedly.

first time ever seeing you + your channel. LOVED this. Moonlight (as a standard) has a special place in my heart. (drummer here, but I can fake-it on guitar with a lead sheet when required) . also GOTTA agree with your sentiment right at 1:42:: 'bop' standards not = jazz.

[dougsours]

Beautifully played. Is C-major your favorite key for this tune? It sounds great, and of course, "I'm in the mood for Vermouth" is a great tune as well.
