How does it works with YT premium users?

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

How is this even free? You are awesome, I can't even imagine the effort on making these videos, Thank you much!! Obrigado!

[@bossanovaguitar]

Thank you for your comment. I decided to make this free because among many other tutorials I found so many personal views on bossa nova that in the least case can confuse the visitors. Making the first video was quite challenging, all others are just repetitions... BTW, very nice Chopin interpretation you have there on your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@baalplays7855]

For anyone who loves bossa nova music but can't speak Portugueuse, I've written an English poetic translation of this song's lyrics which almost completely matches the sylabic rhythms and stress patterns of the original words. Here it is below: Go my sadness, tell my love That without her I don’t know how I’ll go on Tell her in a daydream How distant it all seems And now my happy days are gone No more longing, no more love Now that she’s gone the world is growing dark around me All that’s left is sadness and melancholy That doesn’t leave, it doesn’t leave my mind But if she came back, if she came back What a lovely daydream, what a crazy daydream I’d give you more kisses than there are stars in the sky And my embraces would be warmer than the sunshine In my arms, our dreams would be So soft and sweet, forevermore our lives would be Entwined like this, aligned like this, divine like this I’d hug and kiss and love your sweet caresses without end And I would never be without my lovely lover again

I have heard in person several Giants of the Brazilian violão, namely Baden Powell, Toquinho, and (in another category) Carlos Barbosa-Lima, and have equally enjoyed their exquisite mastery of the instrument AND the richness of their music... while suffering in anguish at the immense difficulty of grasping their complex chord progressions. But now I've AT LAST found in this incredible series of video lessons a treasure of solutions, techniques and examples. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!

[@gedster72]

absolute killer playing. and such a useful tutorial, thank you

Thank you so much for all these tutorials! They're such great quality, and having both hands clearly visible has been a huge help for me figuring out finger placement as well as how the rhythmic phrases work. Unemployed student at the moment, but I'll try to donate when I can :D

Thank you for putting this together. I likely would have given up learning bossa nova if it weren't for your high quality videos.

I keep on being inspired by your videos. A new kind of guitar music for me. Was looking for some interesting chords, it brought me here, then I learnt of Jobim and Gilberto and found that I had heard their songs/ music many times on the radio but was little attracted to it until I saw this. Kind of finger fitness for me, stamina. Many thanks! 👍🏻

[@Dmitry_Kuzmichev]

From 02.50 it's getting rather tricky

[@bossanovaguitar]

Yes, just don't give up, you have almost reached the end of the song.

[@LJTofficial]

If you have knowledge of these chords as a modern songwriter you can unlock the secrets of harmony & thus create a superior pop song to basically anyone.

[@bossanovaguitar]

Interesting insight! Thanks for your comment!

[@alexthomas2390]

A few questions, but firstly, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this particular music genre, it makes it (hopefully) possible for a very novice guitar player such as myself to maybe one day play this tune. That being said, I am struggling a lot on the basic rhythmic phrase in the beginning (the very first one). Do you have any suggestions?! I can get the pattern down, that is, the fingerpicking, but I cannot get the rhythm at a high enough or normal tempo smoothly or stable. I will check your website to see if you have any tips on there. Thanks again!

[@bossanovaguitar]

I'd recommend you start with easier songs, like Insensatez, Corcovao, Garota de Ipanema, Pra Machucar... This one can be quite challenging, especially the Partido Alto phrase played with legato in the second section. Good luck and let me know if you need some specific help.

[@alexthomas2390]

Thank you so much for the fast reply! I will take your advice and check out your other videos/songs tutorials (I've already looked at some), specifically, Garota de Ipanema and Corcovado. I will return one day to conquer this song as well (hopefully soon). Thank you so much!

It's a bit of stretch, I know. Alternatively you may play xx8765, but you'll miss bass or 3xx335 where you'll miss 7th. If you can manage to play with your right hand little finger you can also try 3x3335 - this one is complete Gm9 chord, but it sounds a bit different. Hope that helps.

Hi, first I want to thank you for the amazing lessons! I feel like I a missing something in this song - there is a discrepancy between the written chords and the ones you play in the video, as if you skipped a part. in the third line ("nu-ma prece" ) you write the chords bm7/-5 f6 am7 but instead you play em11 em7 a7/6. Which of them is correct?

[@bossanovaguitar]

You're welcome. I believe that with em11 em7 a7/6 you refer to the bridge section between 1st and 2nd section of the song, just before 'Mas se ela voltar' line. Everything is ok with the video, I just double hecked. If you need connection between lyrics and chords you can find it on bossanovaguitar.com site.
