Romero Lubambo - Simple Secrets of Bossa Nova Guitar

[@willyohohable]

Romero...thank you so much! I really like the way you teach Bossa.

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Thanks so much! I will keep doing it!!

[@owenchapman971]

that was fantastic

[@DiegoCaponera]

Three years have passed since my first view of this video. With a bit more of dexterity in both chord shapes and right hand technique, I finally got the gist of it. Muito obrigado!

[@aptcastelo]

Conheci Romero bem no início dos anos '80 meio por acaso. Havia um bar no bairro do Grajaú, zona norte do Rio, chamado Duka's Bar. Foi o primeiro daquela região a ter música ao vivo e de vez em quando aparecia um músico conhecido. Um dia apareceu um rapaz de cabelos ruivos, usando óculos e de violão na mão. Quando deram uma chance o sujeito tocou e destroçou a viola. Eu era percussionista e tratei de acompanhar. A turma gostou e como eu também usava óculos ouvi um cara falar: "Quem são esses aí com cara de economistas?". Naquele momento não poderia imaginar que eu estava com aquele seria considerado um dos maiores do mundo no seu instrumento. São histórias como essa que dão o prazer de viver.

Maravilhoso esse Relato Muito obrigado. Sidney Linhares

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Oh Castelo, Acabei de ver seu comentario aqui. Muito obrigado! Aueles eram os dias em que eu andava e tentava mostrar um pouco da minha musica... Deu certo ! Abração.

[@aptcastelo]

E deu mesmo, Romero! E pensar que tanta água rolou depois disso. Foi uma pena não termos estendido nosso relacionamento mas tínhamos objetivos (e talentos...) diferentes. Me dediquei ao ramo do Direito e me aposentei como Procurador Federal mas tenho saudades daquelas noites pelos bares da vida. Triste foi ver amigos músicos que frequentaram o Duka's Bar nos deixar como o batera João Palma, o Maurílio do trumpete, e tantos outros mais ou menos conhecidos. Hoje praticamente não toco mais pois a idade chega cedo para o percussionista mas as lembranças não nos abandonam. Sempre que possível revejo seus vídeos e tenho muito orgulho e honra de um dia ter formado um improvável duo com você. Que Deus o proteja e, como diz o personagem orelhudo da série Star Trek, vida longa e próspera para você e os seus. Meu email usual é [e-mail] se desejar manter contato. Grande abraço.

[@gretaholmes783]

Oh my God this is so incredibly soothing! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for bringing us your gift.

[@oneloveSURFISTA]

Boa Romero. Toda essa turma de Brasileiros no Open Studio são uma jóia para a exposição da nossa cultura no mundo. Obrigado pelo seu trabalho!

[@TonyHislop]

Ah man come on! That was so sweet❤

[@miscellanyman263]

Romero is so great. Love his work with Dianne Reeves and Caribbean Jazz Project! 🤓

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

I saw a concert on KZbin of them plus Russell Malone. Wooooah

[@williamdrose9350]

Eu toco bastante bossa, mas mesmo assim volto a este vídeo regularmente, seu gosto pelo tamborim me mantém centrado. Obrigado

[@tyronedaniels9631]

Gracias Romero... I love how you simplified the basic playing method Ciao

[@Jordan-ot7qf]

[@ajarnStef]

Good teacher. Thank you.

[@LeandroFortesMusic]

Romero é balanço pra tudo que é lado! Já suinga no falar! Inspiração total!

[@sekyw]

Thank you for your bossa nova instruction, Romero. Would you please post a video of you playing Waters of March by Tom Jobim? I just started learning how to play the electric bass and I've always wanted to learn how to play this song on the bass while singing it. But, my husband, a guitar player isn't willing to learn this song on his guitar. I think it would help if I had someone to play along with. I think this is the best song ever written!

[@willibald99]

Thank you, very, very personable and competent

[@walterscanlon]

Anyone attempting the guitar or, in fact, any instrument needs to listen to Romero--especially jazz and Brazilian jazz aspiring musicians. WALLY

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Thank you very much Wally !! Dont stop the harmonica !

[@IronFairy]

If someone is teaching about bossa nova or samba in English and doesn't have a nice Brazilian accent like Romero, I won't believe them! Great lesson!

[@mongoharry]

Great video. Thank you!

[@Mifunefune]

Very, very nice!!!

[@artpoesia]

Que Maravilha talento absoluto.

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Obrigado querido !!

[@luizfelipeoiticicamachado3057]

Excelente aula, grande Lubambo. Mas, na legenda, escreveram pandeiro em vez de tamborim (que é o que você diz com total razão), aos 3:22. Seria bom tentar corrigir a legenda, porque de fato é possível mimetizar o pandeiro do samba, em uma batida de violão, claro, mas definitivamente não é o que ocorre quando tocamos a batida tradicional da BN.

[@robwolfe6120]

gratidão a você!

[@jasondenney6978]

Thank u brother

Bah mas que baaita vídeo!

[@FansSports]

Sweet!

[@wancel35]

Error on the subtitle at 1:43 : "what we call the SURDO" and not "PSEUDO" . Thanks for the lesson !

[@keremkucukay1476]

Loved it. Which chords do you play at the end?

[@isma8282]

¡Bien pibe!

[@4toddlaroche]

Romero, What's the name of the song you're playing on this video? Is there somewhere I can hear the song in its entirety (is there another "B" section)? Is it one of yours?

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Todd LaRoche hey Todd That was just a sequence of chords that I did on that moment to demonstrate the idea!! I’m glad you liked it. I may go and write a melody on top of that!! Thanks a lot.

[@4toddlaroche]

OK... Well it's always great to hear you play and talk about music.I composed an additional B section to add to your song on this video... want to hear it? Can I email it to you?

[@deannahernandez3231]

Would you be able to give the chords progression in tabs or perhaps frets positions with all chords. Thanks.

[@JohnDoe-fu7gs]

Hi Romero, Which guitar model are you playing in this video? It has a really nice balanced tone.

[@jeffreykross]

John Doe Romero plays a hand-built classical cutaway built by American luthier Richard Prenkert, from Sebastopol, California, installed with a Barbera Transducer saddle pickup.

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Thats right ! Thanks Jeff !

[@charliemcleod764]

To me, Bossa guitar playing, though wonderful, means nothing without singing. To me, It's the song that matters. What good the sky, without the stars, sun, or moon?

[@car19rubio]

Can anyone recommend me a guitar brand to play bossa nova?

[@OpenStudioJazz]

Romero plays Benedetto, but any good nylon string guitar will suffice

[@sylvia4425]

At 4:36....4:37---4:40 what chord is that? Beautiful!!!

[@OpenStudioJazz]

F#7b13

[@spurts]

Please what are the very first 2 chords?

[@contrabart]

Great lesson. Subtitles need some work. It is "playing the role of...", not the roll. And he's talking about surdos, not pseudos.

[@guitaroable]

Are you playing a Cardoba fusion ?

[@jeffreykross]

[@iranxelbarrerainterian1854]

+Jeff Krossol

[@fusoperso]

+Jeff Kross Is a spuce or cedar top?

[@romerolubamboOfficial]

Hi, This is a cedar top. My preference...

[@jpnarino]

Obrigado mestre. Could you please give us the chords of the nice chord succession at the end? Thank you,

[@UlliMueller]

jpnarino I think the chord progression is the following: Eb-7b5 to D-6(+10) to Db-7(+10) to Cdim to B-7(+10) to B-6(+9) [or Edom7(without root)] to B-6(+b9) to Amaj7(+9). In other words, it's a II V I in Db- (using the tritone sub of V) to Cdim, followed by a II V I in A.

[@lucgitaar3858]

allways guys who think they know it better....congratulations....try to play in the street first your bossa nove before implementing and thinking other things...your poor !!!!

[@TheRE4Player]

wtf man, he just spelled the chords

[@lucgitaar3858]

maybe...but the chords are fare more easier than that...

[@luizfelipels7]

I prefer writing chords in terms of their shape, i.e. the fingers' positions, like tabs. I find it more precise (less ambiguous). In this case, that whole "Eb-7b5 to D-6(+10) to Db-7(+10) to Cdim to B-7(+10) to B-6(+9) [or Edom7(without root)] to B-6(+b9) to Amaj7(+9)" deal becomes: x6767x x5346x x4245x x3424x x2023x 0x012x 0x011x x0210x

[@vlogdoraul6701]

Música da intro ?

[@ukulelechriswilson]

Good musician. But where is the lesson ? Too fast i think ! Than you.

[@jwallguitar]

Uh....isn’t your thumb playing half notes?

[@tissuepaper9962]

You can count it either way. There are actually an infinite number of ways to count any rhythm.

[@bolt0710]

Hear those chords

[@cosmicsprings8690]
