Abre Alas - Ivan Lins - Guitar Tutorial 2020

[@nicholasjordan4250]

Bless you for this, William - I have loved this song for more than 40 years...never occurred to me to add it to my repertoire b4 ...but tonight it called to me somehow, and here is your lovely, lucid, tutorial!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you so much Nicholas. I am really pleased. Good luck!

[@mateusventura1210]

Aways good to hear a good samba from here, god bless!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you Matt...almost forgot this great song! Nice to hear from you. God bless!

Muito bom cara, adoro essa música, única do Ivan que tentei tocar até hoje....vou aproveitar sua dica amigo !

[@JacquinHypnosisAcademy]

I've loved this song for a very long time. Recently heard an old Tania Maria version. That prompted me to look for the chords, and your wonderful tutorial popped up. Really appreciate the effort you have made to make it playable even for a relative novice like me, and to find a chord voicing that really works. Will definitely check out more of your material. Thanks so much William. Like you, my love of Brazilian music has encouraged me to learn portuguese.

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you Jacquin…please do explore the channel. A lot of material in there. My latest Ivan Lins effort, Cantor Da Noite, is particularly beautiful if a little complex.

[@JacquinHypnosisAcademy]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar I will check that out. It's Joyce that was my gateway to Brazilian music. I notice you have one of hers. Any more, much appreciated.

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

@@JacquinHypnosisAcademy I have several Joyce songs...at least 7 I can remember... Aquelas Cançoes Em Mim, Rio Bahia, E Muito Mais, Quero ouvir Joao, Feminina, medo de amar, E era copacabana...admittedly she didn't write all these songs but it was her versions that inspired my covers...

[@Whatever-is1rz]

Big love, been desperate to learn this song since I heard it and you made it so easy. I'm getting it after a day, excited to one day master it

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

I am so pleased you like it...if you like Lins, try Lembra de Mim with animated chords. Different style but beautiful too.

[@pierrebourrelly2953]

J'adore cette chanson... Merci William!!!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you, Pierre - Glad you like it. Have wanted to learn this one for a long time.

[@ericmsandoval]

Great job!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thanks Eric, sorry for my late response! I hope you are enjoying the channel (200+ videos to date)

[@chetzdrowski9965]

Thanks so much for the help, this is such a beautiful song!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Welcome Chet…I agree…very beautiful song! Please check out the rest of the collection and tell your friends if you like it! btw…I have also posted videos about singing in Portuguese in case you are interested…

Minha amigao. me perdoe se meu português estiver um pouco ruim, mas gostaria muito de pedir uma aula de música sua. qualquer dia, ivan lins

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi Joseph, thank you for your comment. I am not sure I understand your request. I am not super fluent in Portuguese btw so please feel free to use French, Spanish or English if you wish. Can you please ask your question again? I understand you are requesting a lesson but I am not sure if it is a new video tutorial you would like or a face to face (zoom) lesson of an Ivan Lins song?

[@josephjimenez6943]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar haha I'm so sorry. I don't know why I tried that in Portuguese. Yes, I was hoping you can make a tutorial video on an Ivan Lins song. I've been dying to learn. It's called qualquer dia . It's a piano song originally, I've been trying to find a way to translate it into guitar but haven't had much luck.

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi Joseph, Lovely song! I am not surprised not many have attempted to decipher it and cover it! Quite theatrical and complex, with many many subtle modulations...Requires a very good ear and ... time... I will not promise but I will be listeting to this over the next few days...for sure. Thanks for making me aware of such a lovely song.

[@josephjimenez6943]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar expect an email from me in a few minutes. I have some information that might get the ball rolling

[@ClemusicandoBrasil]

Hey Are you brazilian ? or ? you got me ! Very very nice lesson !!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Only Brazilian in my heart! Will explain later.

[@ClemusicandoBrasil]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar Nice chanel

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you! Please tell your friends too 😃

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

I am Lebanese. Colombian-born but only lived in Barranquilla my first 5 years so I lost a lot of my Spanish later. Lived in Lebanon, UK(University) and France before moving to the UK permanently 15 years ago. Had my eye (and heart) on Bossa Nova since my parents bought me my Di Giorgio guitar when I was 15. I am still using that same guitar! I had to teach myself Portuguese to get the most of the beautiful poetry in Brazilian music.

[@ClemusicandoBrasil]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar Realy...braziliam music is amazing! And the Di Giorgio its a good guitar, i will try "Abre alas" folowing your lesson, thanks.
