Take a jazz guitar legend, add a comprehensively designed series of lessons, garnish with thousands of guitar students from around the world, mix thoroughly with direct teacher and student interaction, and you get a recipe that sets the standard for guitar education on the Internet. Jimmy Bruno, a jazz guitar phenomenon with over 40 years of recording, touring, and teaching experience, has reworked his former online teaching website to create an even more effective learning system.
The new Jimmy Bruno Guitar Workshop (also known as Jimmy Bruno’s Guitar Workshop – JBGW) increases students’ abilities to progressively customize their own coursework using a newly-designed, integrated series of lessons.

Students don’t learn each area of study in a vacuum, but simultaneously combine their studies with other areas to get the most out of each, while working at their own pace. Need work on chords while advancing more quickly on a jazz standard? Good picking technique but need work on improvisation skills? Jimmy’s method allows students to concentrate on different levels of lesson material in different areas at the same time in a completely complementary way.
“I’ve seen way too many jazz guitar players get so hung up in the theory that they become paralyzed by it and can’t play. They forget that music is sound; it’s not a bunch of rules. Using my method, students learn to make melodies that go through the chords rather than over them. They learn to play music!”
– Jimmy Bruno
Jimmy emphasizes learning to “hear” and developing a musical ear as he teaches how to create melodies right from the start. No heavy theory background is required; Jimmy’s basic “Five Fingerings” are enough to get you started. Once students have begun to apply Jimmy’s method to their playing, they can submit videos and receive direct feedback.
In this way, Jimmy can follow each student’s progress and provide guidance to the next step on the way to mastering jazz guitar. This will remove any doubts as to what to practice next. Jimmy points the way, the student puts in the time, and the results speak for themselves.
