I noticed that he brightened it up by replacing a few diminished and half diminished chords with standard dominant chords (most notably in the main progression at the beginning, with a regular D7 instead of a fully diminished B). Very nice chord melody.
You should become more in tune with your guitars capabilities. Clearly volume is not one of them. After a certain point, the harder you pluck, the worse the tone you get and the volume doesn't significantly increase either. Play gently and amplify maybe? Does that have electronics? If not, mic it or put the camera closer.
Hey do take the tone advice on board...play a bit more gently and maybe just a tad faster.
I really like your arrangement ideas here. This is really good work that could be excellent with a couple tweaks (I'm going to work hard to learn your arrangement.)
ArtArc has a good point. there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism. he IS snapping the strings too hard ... is it better to not point that out and hinder his improvement?
very nice played, though you're grabbing the strings a bit much which makes a very distorted sound. And you stop at the same place twice in the song between 2 chords, but I think you noticed so too.
yours is definately the best version i feel.. its got more jazz to it and i dig it. if you could, lemme know where you learned it from? i would ask for tabs and chords but i know that s troublesome. so if you could just message me and lemme know where it is you studied it from id be much appreciative and very greatful
NICE ROY!! sounds marvelous especiialy with the natural acoustics of where ever it is your playing sounds like maybe a kitchen? ahhaah, way to jazz it out with some bossa nova!
hi Roygift. you clearly have the ability to play this song w/o mistakes so can i (humbly) suggest something? try to pull gently on the strings to get a soft round buttery sound, i think itll make the song sound nice and smooth. anyway, youre a good player, im just trying to get more girls to throw themselves at you when you play, hahaha.
Well it isn't easy to play the accords and the melody in the same time,so much patience must have been needed till you could join them together but I think if you had practised it more before you recorded and loaded it up you would have played well in this video.Anyhow it is quite a good show.
If you were to treat your wife or girlfriend the way you treat that guitar, it would be called domestic violence. Get a better right hand technique and develop some feeling and subtlety.
Good work fella. I like it, maybe try uping the tempo a little, it might help. And I agree the slapping does kind of affect the song. But you are definitely a talented player and im sure you've got room to improve even more. Keep jamming!
I prefer the more mellow version of it due to the original lyrics of this song. It is meant to be played in a sentimental way. But I like your chord voicings and your knowledge of the fretboard.
Good chords and modulations in between. Good technique. You pull the strings too much away from the top of the guitar and they slap too much on the frets. The sound is therefore not ok. The guitar is like a lady, she likes to be caressed, especially when she wears nylon strings on a date with a brasilian tune.
Nice playing for this song!I prefer this song,with an American Jazz touch, than "Blue Bossa"!You can tell me there's many ways of playing "Blue Bossa", I know, but this one " seems to be a Bossa with Jazz melody ", when you play it instrumental,even if the Melody is Brazilian!But COOL version!
You certainly have the notes down, but bossa nova is about being free and relaxed, and that's simply not conveyed. It's good stuff, but it could really be better.
I liked this video, I love that song. I know the chords but I never tried to play armony and melody at the same time. You inspired me to try that... thanks.
r u left handed? really cool vid! But as its already been said... i'd see this track as a less agressive track... and if ud let plunge ur fingers back into the strings between every bass note pluck... it would add that kinda groovy bossa feeling (im really worse then u are but im working on that) really incredible phrasing though!!!
my type of music bro thanks for the pleasure of enjoying that
