@@WilliamSaadGuitar Yeah! Thanks! How do you recommend to play the rhytm? I can watch some videos and everyone's play different this rhytm haha

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi to all...this is a complex song and has been a challenging tutorial. Please let me know is you spot significant errors. A little quiz for you...I have highlighted some shapes on the visual map using a black thick outline. What is common to those particular shapes I have highlighted? Please leave your answer in the comments.

[@RonaldLigteringen]

Dear William, thanks (again) for a great tutorial which has been for me an absolute time-saver as I needed to learn and perform this tune within days! There is one small question: could it be that in the visual map the chord sequence in Verse 3 should be "A2 B A1 B A1 A2" instead of "A2 B A1 C A1 A2" (B instead of C)? Is the black thick outline in indication of the small break? Again my sincere gratitude for all you bringing to youtube!!!

[@RonaldLigteringen]

I almost forgot, if you're interested I've created an iReal Pro version of your interpretation.

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

@@RonaldLigteringen good to know that, thank you!

The version on album “Inedito” has nice vocals with backing singers It is the same 125 measures

Hey William can you do a tutorial for morena do mar from Nara Leao? Thank you so much if you do

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi Tito, let me take a look. Thank you for the suggestion...😀

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Lovely song, Tito. I have added it to the list. I should be able to slip it in soon. Thank you for the tip. In the meantime, you might appreciate Meu Mundo É Hoje...similar harmonies...

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi Tito, do you like my new Morena Do Mar video?

[@thomasgore2687]

Does your map match one particular version such as Elis and Tom 1974?

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

I believe that's the one I used, but I will need to double check that...however, I have added in the map the first lyrics for each verse to avoid any confusion...

[@thomasgore2687]

@@WilliamSaadGuitar thank you

[@thomasgore2687]

I counted measures I got 124 in your map 125 in Elis &Tom version There is one last measure with no chord Perfect!

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you Thomas. Pleased that the count tallies. Sorry I didn't respond earlier but I have been busy with hospital appointments before surgery next week. I hope I can publish something in the coming week.

Bonjour William je viens de comprendre que vous parler français , habitez vous en France ? Pourriez-vous m’orienter sur des morceaux pour débutants que vous proposé en tutoriel sur votre chaîne. Merci , en tout cas merci beaucoup pour ces eaux de Mars, j’adore ce morceau et en plus avec les diagrammes c’est parfait merci encore et à bientôt j’espère. Christian 👏

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Thank you Christian. I am Franco-Lebanese and lived in France for 26 years before moving to the UK 15 years ago. I can indeed advise you on beginners pieces. Samba de Bençao is beautiful and one of the easiest songs...maybe too easy? I would advise Diz Pra Ela which includes a chord diagram. Please tell me what you think of these 2 pieces and their difficulty level for you and I will advise you further.

[@chezztone]

So João Gilberto's version is simpler? I only notice two chord progressions in it. Also they say he tuned his guitar a half step low. So he plays it with B shapes, rather than Bb as in the original or A in yours?

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

I'll check that version out. I am not surprised that he may have simplified the chords. Any song that requires a visual map will pose problems in a live performance especially when the lyrics are very complex too. Not unusual to tune guitar down I guess. Some people like the timbre.

[@chezztone]

Thank you! I listened to it again and I do notice a third progression now. Or maybe two-and-a-half! I read that he is tuned low for that whole album, the beautiful self-titled "white album" from 1973. Which means some of his chords on "E Preciso Perdoar" are different from the way you teach it, too. @@WilliamSaadGuitar

[@christianquessada2007]

William c’est encore moi désolé ☺️ je voulais vous dire que j’aime beaucoup Pat Metheny si jamais vous feriez un morceau de cette artiste avec diagrammes on ne sais jamais. Bonne soirée 🙏🏻

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Hi Christian, I have two pieces by Pat Metheny, unfortunately without chord diagrams. Map of the world and Minuano. Minuano chords are not really difficult. Maybe you can pick them up by sight?

[@thomasgore2687]

The version on album “Inedito” has nice vocals with backing singers It is the same 125 measures

[@WilliamSaadGuitar]

Nice vocals indeed!
