[@Twirretwarre]

Thanks my friend for sharing this, because I never get enough from Victor his wonderful guitarplay! I am going to listen now! :-) Roeleke

[@ScottCrothers]

The finest of fine from the finest of fine. Got to love this tune. I used to love to jam out on this tune back when I used to be a guitarist, too. I'm happy to see you playing it so superbly!

[@Twirretwarre]

Oooooh, I love this tune and love it played by you my friend. Have to listen once more. Roeleke

[@jazzerson7087]

Technique is superb Victor, extremely delicate, beautiful!!

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks for the positive feedback,greetings Vic.

[@jazzerson7087]

Jazzguts Victor what are thinking at 2:48? What scale/mode? It's over the G 7/13 but seems like there's some whole tone in there? Also at 2:53 are you thinking D flat melodic minor over the G flat #11 chord?

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

James Anderson I'm playing inversions of the triads G and A, the A triad against G7 gives a great effect, analyze against G7 you'll get A= 9 C#= #11 E= 13 so the chord could be extended to G13#11, great sound.

[@jazzerson7087]

Jazzguts Didn't know that, thankyou! Could you give me the exact notes you play over the G7 chord in that instance though, this would really help!

[@jazzerson7087]

Jazzguts Any chance you could give me the exact notes you play over the G7 chord in that instance, this would really help me in developing my playing to see what exactly you've done here. Not sure what the inversions you mentioned are and in what order you play them.

[@johnnytortuga5795]

Very smooth arrangement. Thanks, Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Almaty, glad you enjoyed,always welcome,greetings from Holland,Vic.

[@dragondix]

I've looked at about a dozen of your latest clips and you have a heap of views and a heap of great comments from people all over the world. That you may help or affect just one person in a positive way is a miracle; and you've done it many many times over through you tube and your guitar. RESPECT

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi OasisDK,that's a great compliment, it's a fine composition just like all of Jobim's work, greets Vic.

[@THESONARIAN]

Hey, what a great tune to start this Friday with ... Very Nice ... the amazing "V" delivers as always ... Don ...

[@jehm7681]

Victor: Parabens !! I love the bossa Nova music. I really enjoy your version of this legendary song, once more Parabens pra voce, Congratulations!!!

ruben morales Muchas gracias amigo, saludos Vic.

[@stringbender57]

My favorite Bossa! NICE stuff. Keep them coming. I love listening to you play man!

[@LucDaigLTU]

-"When he plays it's like a Samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle, that, when he plays, each one he plays for goes: Ahhh! Not to mention how much I really appreciated this absolutely extraordinary version of my all time favorite Brazilian song.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

thanks Patrick, great hearing from you,always welcome man, I love Jobim's work,I heard from Pabzum that it's the Jobim year now in Brazil with release of books,CD's and Info bout his life and compositions,Greets Victor.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi John,Jobim is always great to play over,it was composed in a very rich and creative Era of the popular Music, always hear Stan Getz there in the background doing a great impro on these melodies,thanks for comment man,be hearing from you,greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks for your time and appreciation Claude I'm flattered, greets Vic.

[@yarods18]

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thank you for the very positive feedback, much appreciated, greetings Vic.

[@jameswillwhat]

this is one of my favorite songs - played beautifully!!!!

[@bluenote335]

Absolutely beautiful Vic - fived & faved!

[@rob1389]

Absolutely beautiful improvisation.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thank you, enjoy my music channel, greetings Vic.

[@mostlybossa]

Very very beautiful Victor ! Marvelous ! warm regards

[@xdreamxidolx]

This is wonderful Vic, I love it! HUGS!!! Juliana

[@rxroger]

Excellent guitar work.

[@stringbender57]

My favorite Bossa....possibly my all time favorite jazz tune period! Nice job, good solo.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks for checking out my older material, greetings Vic.

[@JimPoston1]

Vic: I know this has been posted for quite a while, but I just viewed it today. Great job on this tune... many good licks and ideas to steal from you Brother! Thanks and God's Best to You and Yours. Jim

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thank Jim, a long time ago but it remains a good tune to play, all the best-Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi Gent30x, Ok I get the symbolism in speach, and I'm very glad you enjoyed my rendition, always welcome man,greets Vic.

[@jmbgouveia]

No words. just listen. My favourite bossa nova, after that comes blues and Jazz.

[@DanJohansonNYC]

Fantastic! Warm, beautiful tone, great playing! Nice response

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks James, it's about the bridge here man,that's the ball-buster, but very cool once you got it down,greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Pablo, isn't it fantastic we have the possibility to see,listen and judge each others work,getting such positive critique from a great player like yourself is very motivating for me, I guess "The Girl" is a kind of National Anthem in Brazil and people rather go for something different, however let's not forget Jobim for his very fine compositions that are really worthwhile playing for their good harmonic and melodic possibilities,greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi Greenlentils, you're right in your explanation,and I have no trouble that good jazz is used as background music, when the good listener is sitting in the lounge his ear detects many facets that tickles the mind while others keep on chatting and the little Music Pearls are lost for them, greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Juliana, thanks for your ears and nice comment,greets Vic.

[@jatuleba]

Thanks Vic..i'm brazilian. Good improvise..nice swing!

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks jimmy, for your uplifting words,going much better today, see you around and keep playing, greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks, the man that brought me on this track was Joe Pass(RIP) he wasn't really Classically trained but had a general idea of melody harmonization and fulness in sound created by this approach,he developed this approach to a very high level,and develop great lines in bass and melody on the spot,thanks my friend,greets Vic.

[@ejorgensen9586]

Always loved this track to solo over. Great solo man.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

+Ethan Jorgensen Thank you, yeah always watch out for the Bridge :-) greetings Vic.

[@sampogi0518]

so great talent! Wonderful music!

[@ghalym]

Victor, nice version and inspiring improvisation. Bravo and keep playing great music in your personal style. Greetings from Kazakhstan, Almaty!

[@patricegoyaud]

Hello Vic, Your fingerstyle on jazz guitar is awesome. This adaption of Garota da Ipanema is wonderfull. Cheers my friend Patrice

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi my Funky Lady Mitty, always giving such fine support, glad you enjoyed my rendition,I'll check out Risa's version now you're making me curious, have a great weekend,Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi korgtri, glad it's back again, did you like my rendition? Right away I went to my page but it showed up without problems,greets Vic.

[@104starfighter]

Vic, WOW, wonderful playing of a favorite Jobim song.I love the clear channel that you have, brings out all of the Great sounds you bring. I have Favorited a lot of your songs.Keep up the good work...

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi 765... well most mi7 positions are the common ones with the bass on the low E string but here I also use Gm9 in 10th position with root on A string,love those voicings,greetings Vic. Glad you liked my improv

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Bob, for your great comment, and I totally agree with you, some people associate music with certain forms of entertainment but it's better to listen and judge for oneself on a pure musical level,and this is what you're doing,this comment is highly appreciated,thanks my friend,Victor.

[@pabzum]

You're absolutely right. Jobim is very big here. All the more so in this particular year, when they're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first bossanova recording. There've been shows, books and new CDs all through the year. Of course, Jobim's legacy is right at the centre of it. I myself have been busy writing bossanova arrangements for a quartet, and most of the tunes are by him.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Angel, unfortunately it's indeed the other way around,hard work and then success can follow if it falls into good earth.Luckily I was always determined to play this guitar and have never considered hard work as an obstacle on my path,I think persistence and discipline are very important words,thanks for your great comment my friend,Saludos Vic.

[@guitarpicka1]

Yeah Man....well played.. so very cool.. and I loved your lines..!!

[@Paulwilliamsukmusic]

Its always nice to hear you play

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks kdkmo, I work with a small 4 channel Spirit mixer where guitar signal and backingtrack are mixed together in stereo before going to the audio port of my Mac,that's it,nice and simple,greets Vic.

[@646879]

one of your best Victor....i always loved Stan Getz on this tune....you did it well

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Maurieer, always enjoy playing this Standard,it's a treat to improvise over these changes,greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

quelboonbang, the technology does it all, lot's of success with jamming,cheers Vic.

[@adriyanmusic]

Long time I was looking for how to improvise on that song and now it's time for practice, thank you very much sir

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

You're welcome, it's hard work but it pays off, greetings Vic

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

You're welcome, it's hard work but it pays off, greetings Vic

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Hi turkamine,I'm bound to do that I guess cause when I look at all the people who are enjoying and reacting to my work, not to mention subscribing,it's really a lot and I' glad for that,greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks 646879, I agree on good old Stan Getz,such a melodic and soulful player and he did very well in this Brazilian style, Greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks dragondix, glad with your comment, what you wrote is very healing for the Soul, which needs that positive vibe once and a while, I'm very grateful for your well meant words,greets Vic.

[@ThePancakeChef]

Hey Vic, very nice version you play there. I only learned playing the chords at guitar lessons and this sounds so great. This song is great! Thanks for another nice song.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks korgti, it's indeed so that when I listen to myself and I'm satisfied the result is mostly a positive one for the listeners,thanks for comment,Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

That's a good mentality Jmb... just listening that's the thing,that's where it's at, listening in silence, greets Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thank you I'm very glad with your feedback, Vic.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Thanks Sarah, you're the first to comment,I must say it came nice ,like I had in mind(the improvisation) hug and greets to you,Vic.

[@MrBohemio123]

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

@lucaseugenioquintao Thank you very much,the Bossa Nova and Samba has always caught my ear as excellent Music to broaden one's horizon in terms of great chord sequences and improvisation,cheers Vic.
