Bistro Fada - Lesson/Tutorial Pt. 2 of 2

[@JR-tg1vg]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. We are so lucky to have KZbin available these days. I remember learning guitar when internet wasn’t around, writing out my own scales etc.

[@ChetArrista]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're working on this peice! Watch some videos on "Gypsy Picking" as that should help you a lot. The order is AABBACA...listen to the studio recording. The intro is just a 4 chord progression with a lick. It's Em-G (or Em/G)-Am/F#-B7 and the lick starts on the A string notes: B,C,B,A- (then E string) G,F#,E...Let me know if this helps...I have recieved a bunch of requests to do a video of the rhythm and chords...should I do one?

[@splanko7]

WEll done Chet. I have given my life over to this song over the last week. I could never have played it without your help. By the way it has changed my life.

[@santiagomartinez4363]

Yet another person somewhere in the universe that also thinks that this was a brilliant lesson! Absolutely grateful for this lesson, make more!!!

[@AndyBankside]

Thank you so much. Been working on this for almost 2 weeks. About 90% there. Such a rewarding piece of music to learn. Thanks again.

[@twowheelsgood28]

Awesome Steve. Thanks for your generosity.

[@scottcompton6234]

Chet - that was really appreciated. Super helpful tutorial. Lots of fun and you have a nice teaching style. Thanks!

[@akshaykamath6420]

Somewhere...Somebody in the Universe says "That was a great video, Thank You"...Indeed....That was a great video, Thank You. :) And might I add...Keep posting...Cheers.

[@guitance23]

[@teogrisolia2816]

Thanks a lot, great lesson. Hope you'll do some more in the future!

[@blan514]

Thank you for your great tutorial. bistro fada is a great piece and me and a friend both learned it from your video and we enjoy meeting and play it together. Thank you! From Ireland! ;)

[@blueflute100]

Thanks for your lesson. I just started to try and learn this great tune. It’s very very helpful

[@paganpasta]

Finally !! Finished the song :) .. it's nice to listen myself play it .. A very nice tutorial.

[@repsyke1991]

[@mtnwriter4011]

Good song, good teacher. Thank you. I've always wanted to learn this song. I'm still on part 1 - will be for awhile.

[@petermaruff158]

Hey Chet. Somewhere in the universe, actually in Brisbane, Australia, I've almost got the whole piece down. A huge thankyou. Peace, brother.

[@christhorp9277]

Brilliant. thanks so much for doing this, it took a while but what a great song to learn. It would have been impossible without a decent lesson !

[@proehe]

I think that was really good! Greetings from a guitar player in Brazil! Well done!

[@herbigmicha]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR LESSONS ON YT

[@armandvasquez4057]

Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed.that is a beautiful song. Armand

[@silasboyden1268]

Ten years later, thank you so much for the lesson bro

[@martymechanic3388]

Dude, that was soooo awesome.. you made this enchanting time travel music understandable and realizable...I have been inching along...so slow that the actual melodies were obscured by too long between finding my notes...*time travel brah!! Stephan will be remembered forever for this tune...Steve Arista made it happen for me....when in Santa Cruz Ca look me up...Marty Mechanic on the Eastside for free surf lessons....for reals man!!!!

[@mchldrts]

Thank you. Enjoy your style.

[@Gustavo2222222]

Excelent work, man. Just finished learning it.

[@MrCharly147]

Great tutorial ! Thks a lot . Somewhere in Belgium

[@MsMarc1234]

Dude, this is really awesome. Tried to get this song from listning, but had a really tough time as I am not very versed in these gypsy standards, scales and chord progressions. Great job!

[@paganpasta]

Learned the first part .. thanks man.Started the second.

[@777skeleton]

That was indeed a great lesson!!!, thank you so much for sharing it!!!

[@thistlenstar]

Great job again. Your videos, and getting the tabs from Barry really made this a lot easier. I still have a way to go on the speed issue, but, videos like yours and the helpful advice from others has really made my recent plunge into gypsy jazz worthwhile. But, I do seem to be really fixated on waltzes in E minor (MSG, Indifference, La Gitane, now Bistro Fada) Maybe I'll join a Jazz Manouche support/therapy group!

[@melekdavinacoban]

Thank you so so much! Fantastic tutorial!!

[@MrMarkdevir]

That was really good , hey thank you .......from somewhere in the universe. I spent a little time on this every day for a couple weeks now and this is getting there so yeah thanks man

[@aquariumlife2929]

I'm sure a lot more "people" from this very universe but elsewhere within was also insterested in your tutorial...we are not alone you know and this was the most propper meaning for the old saying 'music is universal'....i tell you that...i,m sure a lot "people" out of this planet ( not to say aliens ) watched your tutorial ( best so far ) to learn the song or at least its construction...cause thats one of the most beautiful guitar song ever in history of mankind music and that gotta draw some attention to say the least

[@funkboyx87x]

Thank you very much! This video is very useful!

[@jeyare10]

Hey That was really good!

[@phanlong9682]

Hey, that was really good!

[@gypsyjazzer]

Hey, that was really good

[@ChetArrista]

The number of views on my part one video is so much higher than part two that if you are reading this you are in the elite group that survived learning part one and made it all they way here...you are in the home stretch...good job is you are reading this!!!

[@inegmax]

Hi I'm from the universe and I say thanks very much

[@MarioFlores-mj1xg]

hey that was very good, thank you

[@jolisperezdeloscobos]

Thanks!

[@ChetArrista]

Ahhh...the view count for Part II is rising so I can assume some people are sticking it out to the end!!! Rock On everyone...Rock On!!!!

[@TheNightOcelot]

Just Splendid! Finally I was able to play! Could you please consider recording lesson video for: Art Blakey - Moanin (guitar) or Chet Atkins - "Ochi Chornya" (Dark Eyes) That would be brilliant! Everyone interested - thumbs up!

[@GUnSNRoSeSrOcKzz]

Thank you!!

[@jimswainston]

cheers bro

[@jolisperezdeloscobos]

Thanks for the lesson! Its taking me my time to ace it, but it will come :D !! Btw...where can I learn the manouche rythm played throughout the song?

[@thescarfking]

THANK YOU!!

[@HenkHopman]

Great!!!!

[@ChetArrista]

I really like your determination! I am not the one to help with technique as I am totally new to this style myself! Seach for videos by using the term La Pompe and or Gypsy Rhythm/strumming etc. And of course watch performance videos. Check out the Forum at DjangoBooks dutcom It's a great resource. Good luck!

[@ChetArrista]

Thanks man...really nice to get a comment like yours...sharring is caring ha ha.

[@HenkHopman]

Dear Chet. Do you like this song. Also gypsy. With greetings from Nolan Henk Hopman

[@lisonob]

6:07 one noe lacking. It's 15-14-17-->*15*

[@ChetArrista]

Hey thanks for the kind correction!

[@elguiliganaique]

Hello, very good video and thank you very much you could send me the tab? a hug from Barcelona!

[@ChetArrista]

The TAB is available...just read the description on Part 1 on how to get it. Good luck Goucho!

[@ChetArrista]

Hey Brazil! Greetings from Washington, D.C. “Obamaland”! Your comment makes me feel really great, to know that in some small way I helped out even one person to play something that they love is so cool. It’s funny because a guy from Brazil inspired me to try to teach a song because he taught me Garota de Ipanema. Check him out…Daniel Imenes…great guy in Brazil.

[@gyorgytorok]

Hi Chet! Good work, and thank you. You are a real good man, good guitarist an good teacher. Whit your help I can play this fantastic melody. God bless you. Please if you can watch my video in the youtube. just write: torok gyorgy gitar Than you again good by. Georg Torok, from Budapest, Hungary

[@twowheelsgood28]

Sorry I mean chet.
