oh my god man this is the greatest bossa nova lesson i've ever seen on the Internet! So complete, visually clear and directed to the point. good job and thank you very much! Great technique also.

I'm 50 and have abandonned the guitar for years. I just came back to this instrument and your channel is just fantatsic to play with pleasure again. Thank you so much!

I definitely need a sheet to memorise all those chords. Gonna have to pause this video at every chord change and write this down. Sounds lovely btw and I really dig the no-talk just-play style with two camera angles and the syncopation familiarity introduction. Really nice product and I shall definitely be coming back to your channel regularly!

My mother is Brazilian but she does not like Bossa Nova, I will hopefully change her mind by playing the songs that you kindly posted on your channel Thanks a lot from Italy!

Best Guitar lesson on the Internet, hands down...

holy shit man this is the perfect guitar lesson format, you win the internet

My friend went to a conference in Brazil and when she came back we listened to some Brazilian music and found this incredible song. It's so pretty. Your video makes it incredibly clear how to play this song and I am now starting to play some of the most complicated guitar I ever played. Thank you so much!

All these tutorials are wonderful, really great job! It makes the bossa nova style very accessible by breaking the rhythmic phrases down like this and choosing different songs to showcase them. Obrigado!

This is the best guitar lesson on the tube. No talking, explaining. Just music!

Wowww...Parabéns meu amigo, a sua foi a melhor das aulas de violão e mais especificamente de Bossa Nova que já vi aquí no youtube. Vc está de PARABÉNS!...Obrigado por postar está aula.😉👍🇧🇷🇧🇷

I must say, what a fantastic work you are doing man! Keep the great lessons cause it helps a lot to spread bossa nova and samba. Thank you bro!

Amo o jeito que você toca, Faz parecer fácil e isso me encoraja a tentar e tentar! ❤😺

If you play this rhythm with the original recording it's just spot on

It took me a few months but I have learned enough chord shapes to go on to lesson 2! I hope one day to be able to perform bossa nova guitar as a side gig like I already do with jazz piano.

Excelente contribuição, acompanhei dias seguidos esta produção maravilhosa, muito obrigada pelo ensino da composição.❤️

Beautiful chord voicings. Mahalo's for this lesson and for the great channel. One of my favorite classical guitar pieces, "Fantasia Sonata", by Joan Manen, uses these evocative chords voicings to great effect. After a career as a classical player, I've just been picked up by a booking agency in my state as a vocalist/guitarist and I found that people, (including myself), love Bossa Nova songs. This channel is going to be a great resource. Mahalo and aloha.

Your lessons are the best I've seen on youtube. Thank you very very much

thank you so much, so clear and complete. Regards from Portugal in the year of Joao Gilberto's passing

I love the way you teach, your method is so clear that no doubt one learn very easily.

¡Muy bonito, muchísimas gracias por su lección! Gracias!

This is also good for advanced guitar player to learn Bossa nova

Now you're syncopating! Nice stuff. I thought Insensatez sounded too dry. But this is excellent. Thanks!

Great lessons, obrigado! Gonna donate!

Great, to-the-point. clear lesson!

O MELHOR VÍDEO AULA PARABÉNS

Im learning guitar becouse of you, thank you, the best of the best lessons Ive ever seen. Do you have a plan to continue?

So beautiful! Love bossa nova I'm gonna learn this one :)

The intro of the song really reminds me of the song 'Carta Ao Tom 74'

Muito bom, show! Obrigado 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for this video, it is excellent.

My Bossa finally sounds a litlle better by watching your videos. Thanks. Would you encourage to paratice also around 1st position for the bar em7/5 ||| a7#5 ||| dm7 F9/G ||| etc That would imply playing some on the chords with a bass on 4th string but less movement on the neck so more fluid. Also i saw in the Bossa Book that these chords were recommended but until i played on a classical guitar, the sound was not good. Cheers

Excelente lección!!!!!

I came from your site though I'm playing it on the piano, and although I cannot do this on the guitar, this is so beautiful. Although this was only a tutorial, I love listening to it.

beautiful video

Wow excellent videos I got to understand quite a few things! Nice website too!!!

Obrigado.

Excelente.

this chanel is gold !

Amazing tutorial, was able to learn it within hours thanks to you!

Excellent presentation thank you, but whole thing needs to be slowed down, then finished at correct speed. Can be emulated but with A Lot of Work.

Gilberto is starting a phrase by playing chord and bass together for the most part. He is also in a lower key and playing different chords. Have you thought of making a tutorial where you play it like Gilberto?

Awesome

You are awesome...

Hola. escuche un solo de esta misma canción . era excelente.quisiera saber su la tienen. gracias

I meant no disrespect. You're right, Gilberto doesn't syncopate the guitar on Insensatez, and it really is the perfect vehicle for that basic phrase. I dig your site very much :)

Your lessons are just Fantastic. Thank you Could you explain how to use the numbers of the rythmic phrases 1212, 1213, 4444 etc…? It must have to do with the fingers of the right hand but how to use it ? Thank’s again for the quality of your teaching.

Very good! It is very important to highlight the rhythmic tempo bossa nova. 2/4 ...

This is a great video lesson! I'm trying hard to learn this tune. The last 16 note phrase 1213, is that when you make the change to the next chord, just before the measure starts?

Estimados, transcribí la canción en guitarpro, les dejo enlace para que lo descarguen: bit.ly/2LEU1OG

Ahora, música de la vieja guardia❗️❗️❗️🙌🏻 (Cartola, Carlos Cachaça.., Nelson Sargento...) pleaaaase❗️🙏🏼

thanks a lot for this type of videos :D

Perfect!

Hi, I can't figure out the Gdim chord. How are the fingers placed on the third fret? This is an excellent tutorial though. Thank you!!

1:10 intro 1:29 1st v 1:57 2nd v 2:29 3rd v

This was very quick and easy thank you so much, learned it over 2 days

Molto obrigado! 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

Very helpful lesson, thank you! Wich guitar do you used for it?

tabs start at 1:09

Hermoso

I am fascinated with this kind of bossanova chords ... and your method is so clear . How we can contact you to take some lessons through internet.... THanks

Bel outil d'apprentissage en ligne.

Es posible estudiar y anotar las notas que componen los acordes " por numeros" en trastes y posicion de los dedos,gracias.

Hola... gracias por su trabajo. Es excelente composición audiovisual. La más didáctica que jamás haya visto. Veo que recibe donación o aporte de voluntarios... vivo en Venezuela y por ahora es imposible donar desde aquí. Ud se la merece, quedo en deuda pues. Sugiero una cosa para la digitación de la mano izquierda de esta pieza: En el minuto 1:55 hace una pisada del acorde de Dm7 en el 5to traste para después bajar al primer traste para realizar el F9/G... a mi se me hace mucho más fácil hacer el mismo acorde de Dm7 en el primer traste para pasar al F9/G sin mover el brazo y reacomodar los dedos. GRACIAS POR ESTAS PRESENTACIONES... ahora puedo tocar piezas que antes no.

Great

I see a fk in a guitar lesson video I give a like.

Thank you for this excellent lesson. I can't help but wonder: what key is 'Corcovado' in? I'm tempted to say C major since there is Am, G7, and Dm7, but at the same time there is also Fm and D7.

Felicitaciones!!! No puedo creer que , gracias a tu video, mi guitarra haga tan bella música !!! De curioso nomás, eres Uruguayo ? Me resultan familiares los Tamboriles del cuadro de presentación. Muchísimas gracias.
