The Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute offers online instructional videos of Bruno explaining his technique, along with notation for students to read. In addition, students can post videos of themselves playing an assignment, followed by a response post from Bruno with comments and suggestions.

The site has so far enjoyed immense popularity—within the first week of opening, guitarists from 15 different countries signed up for the online course, according to the release. Enrollment is $45 for a three-month period. For more information, see www.jimmybrunoguitarinstitute.com.
