Great tune to throw them off at the guitar shop, thanks for the lesson

[@swiftlessons]

And guaranteed not to ruffle any feathers. Enjoy your progress! -Rob

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Okay, it's a Zager, found it under, ....more section. I thought so with the Z Position Marker

[@brendajeannewyche]

You just taught “Girl From Ipanema” in 13 minutes. That’s extraordinary. Thank you so much! ❤️😁

[@HoeDaniel]

From a Brazilian: thank you for posting this lesson!

[@michaeljoseph6093]

Just gotta say Rob, you make it so easy, even that which is relatively hard. You never add more verbiage than is necessary as opposed other KZbin channels. And you never stumble with your words or backtrack or autocorrect. I’ve learned through the years that oftentimes it’s not the student but rather the teacher when there’s a problem with the teaching.

[@jean-pierreisrael1924]

Thank you so muxh for this tutorial. I have always thought that bossa nova was too difficult for me with all those strange chords that I don't know. But sure I'm gonna try this one!

[@jamesmcneil5760]

I really appreciate the fact that you did not compromise the beauty of the song , thanks!

[@UDbaby]

I find your manner of instruction extremely soothing and of course useful...got introduced to you with Remember Me

[@truthseeker474]

Thank you, Your lessons are really great and the best online

[@ted9876]

This is a really good lesson. Chords are tricky, especially the transitions, but not impossible. The rhythm is a great learning exercise, not typical for blues, rock, etc which many of us in the US learn and listen to so often. Really nice way to stretch yourself. Beautiful song too. Anyway the lesson is very well done, so thank you. Typical of your lessons if I may say so. You demo and explain things very well. Wish I could take private lessons from you.

[@idanlifshits-j4v]

thank you for your hard work and amazing way to teach how to play guitar .

[@nicolen.9642]

Aw...cool. I adore your lessons. You're magic! Thanks! 🎶🎶🎶

[@reginaldparker3248]

Another awesome session, 😊

[@gollum-qv6lc]

Best guitar lesson I've ever seen

[@channel1111official]

Amazing lesson, thank you!!!

[@swiftlessons]

So glad you’re enjoying this! I’ll get back to bossa very soon. -Rob

[@oliver8186]

Danke!

[@variable_sonics5101]

Great this is a much easier way to play the changing chord progressions and Harmonies than following along the Stan Getz arrangement which is very difficult. Great lesson thank you!

[@jeffreyferenc3672]

Beautiful song. Thanks for posting this man. I think I can do it.

[@dmitryfarina8053]

Great lesson, thank you for posting!

[@orabidoomed]

I personally think it is a lot easier to play and think the F#7(b5) as the regular Dm (cowboy chord) moved up 1 string and then use your thumb on the E bass. Otherwise, I appreciate the video. Such a great teacher! THANX.

[@user-rn6cy9lg2m]

Great lesson…nice singing as well.

[@edperitore321]

Very nice lesson well planned and carried out . Would like very much to see more lessons like this one whatever genre.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks so much for the positive feedback Ed. I'll keep them coming! -Rob

[@alansimpson8962]

Swifty going to hit a million subscribers soon maybe before the end of the year

[@Naishell1]

always wanted to learn this song thanks for this lesson ❤

[@swiftlessons]

My absolute pleasure, enjoy your practice! -Rob

[@topangus123]

Loved it. Cool chords, my hands are killing me. :) Actually, I learned some of those chord's ages ago but really never knew how to use them.....

[@spoocyguy]

Another fairly easy but immensely satisfying bossa nova song is Belle by Jack Johnson! Definitely in my top 3 songs I immediately have to play if I pick up someone’s guitar

[@stevesheroan4131]

I used to get called a bit to play for a wedding band that would do an hour of Real Book tunes before switching to the usual wedding stuff. I would have to fake my way through that first set, really only knowing how to comp semi-proficiently and avoiding solos like the plague. I found it hilarious that I loved doing this tune and Blue Bossa most of all, while a lot of the other band members (who did jazz gigs regularly) would just grumble and sigh when the band leader would call out “Ipanema”. Evidently this song is the “Freebird” of jazz, lol.

[@swiftlessons]

Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me… but if you’re a rocker and sick and tired of Freebird, then Ipanema is a welcomed change of pace. I used to do weddings as well, and for me the absolute worst tune to play was Pachelbel's Canon in D. 😂

[@pfkmsandiego]

hahaha. nice. :)

[@youtubepremium3505]

nice job. Well done. appreciate the chord diagrams too.

[@wolfgangfrenkel3624]

Little chordname-correction in the A-Part: Fmaj7 - G13 - Gm7 - Gb7#11 (= tritonesub for C7) 😉

[@alberto4183]

beautiful song

[@swiftlessons]

Love Jobim's version with Sinatra. He plays it very different in that rendition, I'll have to do a follow up sometime. Thanks for watching Alberto! -Rob

[@leandrobatistaferreira3025]

Brazil ❤️

[@swiftlessons]

Hoping to visit one day, Rio looks incredible.

[@pfkmsandiego]

nice. :) pretty sure that add 13 would just b called a dominant 13 since it is a dominant 7 with the 13.

[@swiftlessons]

The way I’ve always understood it is that a dom13 chord includes each interval leading up to the 13. So, it’s a 7th chord with three extra notes, the ninth (9), eleventh (11) and thirteenth (13). Using the term “add” indicates that the 9 and 11 intervals are being omitted. That said, I have seen chord sheets that have this chord written G13, but I think that’s because it’s shorter and neater looking. If only we could write it G7+13, but someone decided long ago that a plus should indicate an augmented chord.

[@pfkmsandiego]

@@swiftlessons although i like the way u think about it and i also wish there was a way to b more specific about voicings it appears that as long as there's a 7th interval included there is no "add" added, which also goes for major 7th chords and their extensions. how to properly or best voice a chord, especially extended chords, was always annoying to me and i would ask professors how they kno which notes to omit when they see 11's and 13's in chords charts, jazz specifically, and they'd just say it depends on what the melody was and will b and what the previous chord was and what the next chord will be... i always felt there was a lack of consistency with was "right" but that's a different convo. :) like i said, i like ur idea bc it makes things more specific, but that's just not how it seems to b. there's a lot of things i wish were different about music rules and i'm sure u do too hahaha. like, the plus sign being relegated, assuredly against its will ! hahaha ur rad. keep up the great work. ✌&❤

[@Voytalks]

please do peace train by cat stevens!

[@swiftlessons]

Great suggestion, I promise that one will happen soon!

[@Voytalks]

@@swiftlessonsthanks Rob, you’re my hero

[@МихаилЗленский]

Благодарю

[@trommelknecht539]

👏🫶

[@edmeireles7312]

Sorry, Brazilian popular music is played with a guitar with nylon strings. The timbre of the nylon strings is similar to the human voice and makes the music more intimate, like Bossa Nova.

[@swiftlessons]

This is generally true, unfortunately I didn’t have access to the optimal instrument. I have since purchased one, and used it to break down some of my favorite bossa and jazz progressions, and also fly me to the moon. Have a great day!

[@edmeireles7312]

Desculpe, musica popular brasleira se toca com violão com cordas de nylon. O timbre do nylon se aproxima da voz humana e faz a música ser mais intimista com é a Bossa Nova.

[@rebirth_mishap]

Put Frank Sinatra's voice to that ish

[@swiftlessons]

Man, no one sang this tune better than Frank.

[@juliolopes9276]

Sorry, but you are dividing the rhythm into 4/4, but it is 2/4.

[@swiftlessons]

I’ve never seen any sheet music for girl from Ipanema in 2/4. It’s always written in 4/4.

[@jfhierro-q5u]

You talk toooooooo much

[@MrFrampo56]

Thanks a lot. Great video. You’re right, I knew those chord shapes from a La Vie en Rose lesson on a different channel. That jazz stuff is something else! Nice sounding guitar too. What make is it ? I cannot discern any features that are recognisable. Thanks once again. Great lesson as usual.

[@waitaminute7257]

Super lesson! Thank you!
