χαιρετώ! / selamlamak! :)

[alexvfilatov]

Awesome dude!

[luacrea]

Thank you for the peace and love you transmit in your teaching. You make it easy, fun, and with no rush. You are good man. And you've got "duende"

[SuperSherbo]

btw u got a nice voice u should try and sing :D

[FrankiePintado]

This is great. Thank You.

[NOcherryNO]

thanks mate! greetings from Germany!

[malaleche240]

you talk like Carlito Brigante from Carlitos Way, cool gangster accent

[notgodsemigod]

@malaleche240 He has a quite typical accent of a Greek speaking in English - he is Cypriot though and there is some slight Cypriot accent passing on to his English. Greeks speak generally very good english, Cypriots even better because they were unfortunate enough to be a British base too...

Anyway, he is a cool guy, and his teaching on the subtilities of guitar playing is just excellent. It is not easy to explain what he explained cooly here. Many thanks!

[cry751]

muchas gracias!! for all your videos. i've learned so much from you and than found you teaching this amazing song. Your the best please keep the videos coming.

Peace, love, harmony! Calandra

[intizumpango]

[SEKSHINATE]

Thank you bud, after learning your version I listened to my cd and (I am not tryin to be a jerk) is the Gmaj supposed to be a G min, it sounds like it in the disc, THANK YOU SO MUCH THO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SEKSHINATE]

@SEKSHINATE I m sorry u already said it, sounds great man!!!!!!!!!!!

[GiveOrLooseIt]

Well there are plenty of different versions my friend.

Change to your liking. ;)

[yesicova]

@SEKSHINATE

[yesicova]

@SEKSHINATE your wrong, its a Gmaj

[3rdofcatjay]

@SEKSHINATE i am trying to be a jerk, in the video i just watched he said g minor. did you not see the part about the removal of " the bad ass finger"? did you even watch the video? or are you that much of a pompous asshole that you correct people even whe they're right? what the fuck?

[fcoto]

I would totally have a beer with you and play some songs! Thank you for explaining! Blessings, happiness and love for ya, keep that music going!

[torona92]

[vincentroye]

Ελα ρε φιλε !! thank you so much for this tutorial, it's the first one I've learnt. Could you make another one to teach us the jazz sample that u play at the begining pleaz ?

ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΠΟΛΥ !!

[maiumzoso]

Thank you for this this video, and...

Man! You should teach this thing you do in the beginning ofthe video! It's the coolest thing!! By the way, it was that chords what potter1990 was asking for too!

[RichiG24]

Man, you're awsome! Thanks for the video and I don't want to be practical, but where are you from? You should come from Cuba because of your great technique. :) Keep it up!

[GiveOrLooseIt]

:)

actually I'm from an Island called Cyprus.

Next to Greece.

I'm Greek/Cypriot.

[alfjon1]

thank you my friend .. i play Dm,F,Gm,A .. but looking at you , your way is better .

much love .

[Shazrael]

Amigo, que courso mas bueno. I really enjoyed it. Maybe you'd like to watch a song my friend from cuba made. just look in my profile.

keep it up!

[MrLino]

Nice version, but i have one question.

Isn't the tempo of the Dm different than the others? Shouldn't you play the Dm and then kinda "interrupts" it with the F?

Other than that, i really enjoyed your version, keep up the good job!

[MalSalmo]

this is really really good although i like the version where the second chord is an f major. pero es muy bien me encanta como tu tocar la guitarra, correct my spanish becase its probably wrong :) adios y gracias

[laurixtumix]

great thankss!!! have you heard this version of macaco?

/watch?v=9y4ktyA5X2o

[BerlinRulezZ]

Hey, can you tell me what are the Chors you play at first (the jaaz feeling party ;) )

[natespilka]

[bakeruk87]

Your a great teacher thankyou senoir!

[LucaGroenendijk]

Do you have any tips for me for the F major chord I can't do it :S

[MrRedbullkid]

this is awesome . can you teach us tempested ?

[Palma2011]

fantastic....

good job guy!!!

[DonMoza]

I just saw your version and I like it!!

I play another progression though ^^ if you like you might try it...

Dm, F, C7, Gm7, A7

I like to play Dm barred (Am shape 5th fret) so I can play alternating fills w/ b and e string ^^

Thanks man, nice version of chan chan! Keep it up!!!

[andrezb123]

I really like the friendliness and how well you explain everything.  You should also show how to play that latin riff you played in the beginning because it sounded really cool!

[potter1990]

Hi thanks for the lesson but could you tell me what are the chords at the beggining it sounds amazing.

keep the good work!!

[GiveOrLooseIt]

Dm, F, Gm7, A7.

[potter1990]

@GiveOrLooseIt thanks a lot, you should do lessons explaining more of that awesome jazzy chords and progessions...

Keep the good work

Thanks you much for your wonderful music. Julietta

Thanks for the lesson - this is my first lesson from you - I am trying to expand my playing style (mainly Blues, but I am classically trained - which does not really mean anything other than I took lessons from stuffy guys in stuffy shirts for a really long time- the kinda guys I give my BAD FINGER TO) Mucho Gusto and gracias Don GiveOrlooseit. You come across as a really nice man. Peace

[GiveOrLooseIt]

ARRIBA Latinoamerika :P

[140spot6]

much appreciated. well done.

[solosymphony]

My BAAD finger... LMAO.

Great teaching skills.

You should have sung the song when you got into it at 01:46. You started, and I was like, OOooo that's sounding nice ... but then you smile and then it's over ... :( ... lol

[watarball]

thx again

[xomaryjane]

its really nice to listen to you, you are a very sympathic teacher! go on making these videos!

[tito63tito]

hi im johannes from germany ... i´m taking guitar lessons with one of the best teachers hear but you are even better than him couse you schow it very much understandable. i like u very much .. hope you keep making more videos by

[onemadmex]

You are a very good teacher and I very much appreciate your lessons. Keep up the good work!

[keane9213]

DAmn you are damn good!!

[anniemarlo]

Lovely new style for me! I picked this up quite quickly thank god! I really appreciate your lessons so much I hope you know the differences you are making to peoples guitar playing, everyones guitars can smile!

I was wondering could you help play Summertime, that I can sing along to. I would like the playing to be easy, simple so that the singing can be more colourful. Any Ideas? If not, that's ok, I'll keep checkin out your vids and learning new things from you

Hope you are well

Bye :0)

[Dararith]

What is that latin/jazzy song you're playing in the beginning??? I'm trying to follow it! =P

[GiveOrLooseIt]

It's not a specific song.

Just 1 of my "Latin Picking" put 2gether with some Chords.

[Dararith]

...

It sounds wonderful, what are the chords? =P You should do a video on how to play that little piece! Heh

[gab204]

hey man good video,just one thing though. You mentioned that the song was to be played in a rhythm pattern of 4 beats, but in fact what give the original version its groove is the fact that its not in blocs of 4.If you listen to the original, the rhythm pattern goes 1-2-3/1-2-3-4-5/1-2-3/1-2-3-4-­5(each / being where you change the chord).Its that different pattern that gives it that nice swing of the original(I realize that u didnt claim to be teaching the original vers.) keep up the good work!

[GiveOrLooseIt]

No no my friend...

It's a 4/4 rhythm.

How you listen to it is not how u count it!

I dance to that song for years now in Latin clubs and when i teach at my school.

Even if u don't play some of the counted beats, there are still there.

When i am counting for u the intro i do it in slowed down double time.

Cool to notice though!

Ear is the most important in any music or dance!

God Bless!

;)

[gab204]

I know the rhythm is in 4/4 but the chords don't change every four beats which is what gives it that groove. Anyways, keep it up

[javierrabena]

ke jefe!!

[sylkedekker]

you're so good!! I really like this music! unfortunately I have steel strings so it's kind of hard to play :( what kind of guitar do you recommend? - Sylke :)

[GiveOrLooseIt]

A steel guitar should be just fine 2!

:)

It just needs a litle more practise.

Keep at it amigo!

God Bless.

;)

[belgid]

great one - love to learn with you, so easy and pleasent.
