Aquarela Do Brasil (the way it was meant to be played) Ary Barroso

[@MichaelDobkin]

A great Samba! This one was a lot of fun to learn and play. Check out the description section for more details. Enjoy!

[@biggy06605]

Beautiful. The version by Joao Gilberto is my favorite

[@alexfinger7466]

Excellent performance! The technique and the sound are excellent!!! Of course there is nothing like playing samba on the guitar, Michael I loved it very much!!!

[@pamtebelman2321]

Very pretty! It doesn't look like an easy song to play. I think it's great that you're keeping these beautiful songs alive in this post-Gilberto-Jobim-Bonfa era!

[@michealleeyoung4482]

My new favourite piece, thank you so much for the posting the tab, currently doing my best to learn it off 😁

[@MichaelDobkin]

Time and patience! You’re welcome. Good luck!

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

Excellent Mike, Paul's guitar sounds really great in your hands. It's amazing how many luithiers we have these days.

[@boogiexx]

thanks great song and props for sharing the score, that polyrhythm from bar 37 to 48 is a real mind breaker.

[@MichaelDobkin]

You’re welcome. I agree… gotta take it really slow and build up.

[@benjaminhaag4302]

top song and top arrangement as always!!

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you very much

[@alexandresoares7714]

[@ababoo99]

Wow, great transcription & performance. I actually did manage to find the Takeuchi book that you use in some of the other videos, but this transcription of Aquarela do Brasil isn't in it it, so thank you again for sharing the sheet music. Love your selections & playing!

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you. Glad you can enjoy

[@Hiroshima49]

Muito lindo

[@MattCCurtis]

Great arrangement and performance. Thanks SO much for sharing the tab. I just added the Barreiros recording to my Spotify playlist of favorite renditions of this song. Not sure I can hyperlink it. It's called "'Brazil' aka 'Aquerela do Brasil'"

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you. Sure. Do share Spotify link. This is what this this community is for. 👍

[@MattCCurtis]

@@MichaelDobkin I added the link as a reply to myself but can't see it now. That tends to happen to comments with external links here in KZbin land 😛

[@MichaelDobkin]

@@MattCCurtis strange. We can always look it up. Thanks.

[@Hollowguit]

Great ! Parabens ! Gotta listen to Gal Costa extraordinary cover now.

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you. Gal Costas is a great vocal cover!

[@BluenoteFernando]

nice!

[@jacobfrank7986]

Thank you for these videos! Do you teach lessons or classes? Or have any advice for someone wanting to get better and understand these Samba/Bossa Nova arrangements further?

[@MichaelDobkin]

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t offer lessons. There are basics Brazilian guitar Method books out there. That’s a good start.

[@my-zicsingh]

Il manque une partie instrumentale il me semble , paulo renato lourenço joue la suite ...

[@deltapee9259]

I follow you but suddenly KZbin makes it very hard to find your videos. What’s going on?

[@MichaelDobkin]

Hey Tim. KZbin works in mysterious ways with its algorithms. I appreciate the support. You can always turn on the notification bell to be altered for new videos. The most recent was listed this week.

[@strings41]

Michael, your performance of "Brasil", along with Kenny Poole's (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZbFp4Gkh9VqqpI), are the best I have heard.

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you. I’ll have to check out Poole’s.

[@escuelaespaoladeguitarra]

КЛАСС ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!

[@MichaelDobkin]

Thank you 🙏

[@santiagobluerain9370]

Trata de tocar de arriba a bajo 🎸 gracias.

[@cleliarocha926]

❤🇧🇷❤😘

[@ccfliege]

My god man, I wish I could play like that

[@mongoharry]

Sounds GREAT. But please cool it with that "this is how it's meant to be played" bullshit.

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

I think it's ok, his a fine refined musician as I am, and after decades of playing arrangements there is a lot of well publications that are.... BS. This one is not. And the arrangement from Edson Lopes is brilliant.
