How to play "The Girl From Ipanema" - MLR-Guitar Lesson #1 of 4

[TheAgentAssassin]

Nothing wrong with charging for guitar lessons, when I was a kid there was no internet.

[Rosb1ff]

@TheAgentAssassin , I agree, but everyone expects everything for free nowadays, If people put the time in and do a professional job, they deserve to get paid for it.

not hating on your stuff.. just keep doing what you do. but i thought the Tom Jobim version (watch?v=DmV0TcTNJ3o) was in D instead of G#

[TheMajoto]

the bass 6th string to fing loud

[LesPauloCaster]

This is a paid thing, you won't get the lessons for free...what I call a "partial scam".

Here's a full lesson of the song that I was looking all over YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=wrqNCyXYuT­0

[YTMalero]

@LesPauloCaster WRONG ! The website is completely free, there are all the videos, just go to the menu and choose the lessons, no login, no payment. Here is the song link : mlr-guitar(dot)com/girl_from_i­panema(dot)html :-) The philosophy of the website is to offer a free access to everybody, please don't let these kind of comments if you don't know what you're telling.

[LesPauloCaster]

@YTMalero ...I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're making a profit out of it by not putting the whole 3, 4, or 20 videos here like many other users do. This video is a catch so viewers are directed to your website and feel simpathy so eventually someone pays the "$15 download package".

Copy & paste from your website:

"The downloading price is $15 p/ pack. Because all the content is freely available via the website, I decided to offer this option of paying-download to encourage users..."

[YTMalero]

@LesPauloCaster you're right, so the lessons are completely free and there is no scam. I encourage people to purchase the lessons to contribute to my work but there is no need to do it to access all the content.

[LesPauloCaster]

@YTMalero you can delete my comments if you want to, or if you think it's bad publicity...have a great day

[YTMalero]

@LesPauloCaster thanks, it's ok :-)

[oatzac]

which is why i get halfway through a video to be asked to make a compulsory donation -__-

[SickRobots]

Thank you for taking the time to explain this lovely song in details and for free. :)

[sarahramona]

Que grande!, buen trabajo, voy a practicarlo!,

[Danomite8]

I LOVE YOU!!!

[YTMalero]

@Danomite8 :-)

[Danomite8]

@YTMalero Nobody asks you to do these great videos you just do them to help us out. Sir, You are a saint. I am eternally greatful!

[nonamenanone]

I started to study playing Bossa Nova guitar about one month ago.

Your video is very useful for me.

Thank you for uploading!!!

[DoublePenetration0]

This version is for Stan Getz band (?v=j8VPmtyLqSY).

The other version (watch?v=xJ9nmLrrcuM) which is in the key of F is for "Andy Williams & Antonio Carlos Jobim's duet" (watch?v=lKfl15c-Kh0)

[Sincopatico]

You play to the heart of all of us Bossa Nova fans. Thank you for your generosity to make your free lessons available to all of us who love Bossa Nova and want to learn how to play it.

[YTMalero]

@Sincopatico :-)

[janken150]

hello there, great work.... where are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lessons though?

[YTMalero]

@janken150 Hi, the other parts are on the website MLR-Guitar(dot)com

[PostcardKittenMeow]

Excellent. The right key (not F!) as the record - I play it pretty much the same as you, it took me ages to work out.

[limbslikehatchets]

can anyone tell me the chord names please?????

[jdsongwriter]

very cool!

[bflesher001]

Ahh - The right key and chord voicings - thanks for doing this. I have Jobim playing it and most people seem to play it in a different key.

[cripzrus]

Thanks so much for your time here. These lessons are invaluable. It would also be a great help if you could find a way to add the names of these chord voicings, thanks

[bouldraimy]

J'adore ce rythme !! Merci !! Sylvie

[Cabronosidad]

Many thanks for this!

[PalkaSvechi]

Can't wait to learn this :D
