[tomasgora]

borec má to tam no

[Subash0069]

And I used to think no one these days could play guitar like John Mayer. I don' t know if it was ignorance or just plain lack of knowledge

[1818yoshi1818]

My best Ipanoma

[nickeyfumi]

Love and Light

[TDS4UT]

Great playing. I subscribed.

[MsAndrew1949]

Конечно здорово, но не хватает какой-то легкости, воздушности...

[FantomOfFear]

If I want to play jazz and bossa nova should I get a flamenco or classical guitar?

[mabrun01]

La migliore esecuzione che esiste. Grandissimo chitarrista!!!!!!

Chapeau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonkarbon]

the guitar is not really big.. or is it the artist that is so big? Looking for this kinda of guitar ,, so comfort playing

[aGraphicWay]

hi sir, how long did it take you to achieve this amazing level ???

[easynaming]

oooh so cool... so suave...

[animedrawer1233]

@effinshut No, because then his guitar would get dirty..

[effinshut]

@animedrawer1233 :D

[FinestFilipinoX]

Such a cool guy

[pianoplayeruk]

Sir you have extraordinary talent!!

Was the guitare tunned the usual E A D G B E ?

[CAGED1702]

brilliant..! And I like the tuning down a whole step!~ Why? Because it's not heavy metal? {just joking, guys!)

[bransonguitar]

The best way is to watch the video and copy what I do. this aso is good ear training.

Possibly sometime in the future I may be able to write my arrangements out and put them on my website.

Jim Greeninger

[cellomaniac14]

Mr. Greeniger is there somewhere I could go on your website to learn this piece? I can't find it.

[mkapsch]

[mindcontro]

thats damn near magic if u ask me

[FoShO129]

o.O.. holy crap, haha. 

[nordine98]

[ttylb4two]

Is that a steel string guitar?????

[shanevan1]

@ttylb4two Nope no steel,sometimes sounds that way tho :O

[traviskearney]

Sweet. Now how about some Cuates de Sinaloa?

[hiltonpanda]

Amaizing!!!

[Thebluesrockmusic]

Am I the only one that thinks he has an odd way of holding a guitar?

[mcneely2818]

@Thebluesrockmusic well, compared to the way we are used to seeing people hold them, yes. But believe it or not, this is the traditional way to hold the guitar dating back hundreds of years, and if you try it you might find it's more comfortable as well.

[th0mazV]

Is it a small guitar or is he just big?

[extrapicklesthanks]

@th0mazV its a combo of both

[KromaticStatic]

Superb playing, and your guitar's resonance is truly a marvel! Is this your arrangement of the piece as well?

[Lasp006]

Dear My Greeninger is it possible to still purchase youre dvd for lessons ?

[bransonguitar]

@Lasp006 Yes, call 503-884-9600

[sunaJH]

(BTW what dummies don't love this?)

[sunaJH]

Jim does rock on this high energy version:)

sunaj

[through0glass]

Why does he look constipated for the first 12 seconds?

[1950nov]

WOW!

[SoloNetherlands]

I bet his wife is very happy with his fingers ;)

[bboysedo]

ei he look like van gogh

[naglamsis]

LOL...tru he does luk like van gogh

[GroovyGuitar02]

@naglamsis i like the way he's playing his guitar . He totally looks like a painting i've seen , but can't remember the name/artist . It was with a guitarist playing an acoustic and he was bent on his guitar exactly this way .

[unagondolaunremo]

bravo, molo bravo!

[zao0103]

house called, he said cool beard bro..

[brittonray]

holy fuck. gonna go buy his cd.

[inner11]

i think you should play star wars theme or maybe armagedon ... is better for your style .. see you

[alexohisyellow]

it is possible for men to have multiple orgasms!

i just had 4 of them at 3:03!!! >:O

[MatheusMendonca1]

brazilian music. I dont know why people love Girl From Ipanema. Wave, Tom Jobim, is so beaultiful, I never see it on youtube

[Pandasa]

Dr House PLaying guitar with bigger beard°!

[RedWings4Life33]

@Pandasa looks nothing like House.....

[zadigjaja]

his outfit is pretty bad, fortunately his playing is good.

[BubbelzZ121]

much feelings in the way he played

great job

[guitarsession100]

i love classical guitar

[Bean6Kid]

There are no words...

[CombatMedic67]

will your music be available on itunes any time soon?

[giangi865]

.... amazing ....

[UrbanCOwBoy32]

so how come there is no sheet music or notation for this? does anyone know where to find it, if it exists?

[RoboRimes]

also, where can i buy a shirt like that?

[RoboRimes]

what skill, pinches a loaf and strums excellence at the same time. id saY this is his calling.

[guitardawg93]

this shit is fucking great but it gets kinda trippy too, haha.

[hopfuser]

yeeaah wooow that´s it. Greetings from Germany.

[69steelydan]

Still awestruck after watching this piece played with such dedication and feeling !

[vm5387]

Great Playing, but I think it is played too fast to do the song any justice.

[ShiffronLandren]

Inspiring! 

[sotonemuel]

One of the most original and most creative versions of this song!  Amazing!

[violenteden]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nati505]

where can i get the tabs for that ?! =))) 

[aronkarmusic]

@nati505 I dont think your able do play it if you need tabs =)

Dont mean to offend you but first of all that are a hell lot of notes and that written down in tabs will be reaaally long! and you need to be really skilled to play this and people needing tabs(including myself) arent skilled enough I think ;)

[Lopplt]

@aronkarmusic What you on about? Practise will get you to learn everything, plus tabs can also just be the chords.. which comes in pretty handy when learning a song like this (and maybe some licks).

[djkoldunash]

I'm viewer 300.000!:)

[juaco39]

you are incredibly geniuos

[pablobor47]

hahahahaha neta si se parece a dc house!

[GLPease314]

A brilliant arrangement! I love the fire in your playing, and the voicings you've chosen have breathed new life into a tired old tune. Absolutely fantastic! Bravo, bravo, bravo!

[DerSchlaueBaer]

dr house rocking out on guitar

[XxRockxTomxX]

@DerSchlaueBaer Although House plays the piano in the show alot more than guitar(:

[21111994mp]

You play guitar very well, him song it's many beautiful , Você tocar violão muito bem, o som dele é muito bonito.

[Aehro]

"Multi style guitarist Jim Greeninger plays jazz." JAZZ? this is bossa nova!

[PILPEZ]

Damn man!! now I dont even want to look at my guitar!!!

[maryaport]

FANTASTIC

[hvglaser]

Really nice technically, but i think the sound lacks soul

[SoftGuitar]

This is a lush rendition of the famous tune by Antonio Carlos Jobim. well played !

[marialuisacoronel]

this man is the best in this interpreteition, great!!!

[24hartz]

anyone know if there is sheet music for this version

[goffbum]

Wow....most intense and wonderfull...........

[asbadastv]

House MD?

[jayarena512]

[beekalmer]

[LIFEmimicsART]

You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[btnheazy03]

he makes one guitar sound like three!

[yohanbudiyanto]

[imperiobandeirantebr]

Bravo!

[goddessmhj7]

[steelydanman10]

I'm giving you a thumbs up just for the steely dan lol

[smampfal1]

Fantastic!

[Cloves08417]

I want to play like him.

[Canadianspunge]

@Cloves08417 years of practice bud (Y)

[richwhite63]

I'm curoius why does it say bransonguitar? I really enjoyed this performance, absolutely splendid !

[lhurien]

Great playing, nice arrangement, but the guitar does not sound good. sounds like your playing rubber bands. I would try different method of amplification if i were you.

[asdf1234567889]

hey! he's right! can't you just shut up and let musicians speak of stuff like that. boah!!! really! some people make me sick.

[chocolateman235]

amazing

[vinnothelizard]

segovias pupil ... what do you expect?

BRILLIANT

[mn6888888]

simply brilliant.

[SafeBet86]

Que porcaria! Uma merda. Ele toca bem rápido, também ele parece um viado!

[HApophis]

1:30-11:36 reminds me of the simpsons theme song

[Whospodcast01]

ummm i think the simpsons theme song reminds you of this, it is much older, and requires more talent to play. haha

[AriaSinger1]

the bridge is sooo far back, is this typical on classical/nylon guitars?

[realcityonfire]

what is this??

[joelniels]

"therealityguy," your comments can just as easily be said against your Ottmar Liebert.

[gnomebottom]

Anxious performance, not convincing to me...

[Mjws2907]

@gnomebottom: How about you listen rather than look?

[Zarbonk]

Superb in every respect! And the TONE is excellent . . .

But the best surprises are the dynamics--especially the bridge-tapping bass phrases, that are simply "WOW!" . . .

And for the folks who do not know so much about guitars and TONE, notice where he picks the various notes and phrases with respect to distance from the bridge, which as a bit of clue (a) dramatically changes the harmonics and overtones and (b) is one of the ways to determine when a guitarist really understands TONE . . .

[jhstha]

@Zarbonk don't start waffling too much of this theoretical shit ... may things cannot be played in a way Jim did, simply becuase many people do not have his long fingers ...

[guillote61]

So beautiful

Someone can shere this arrangement.-

Thanks in advance

[Oops88omg]

CoooooooL

[acousticland]

bravo

[WanderingTheEarth]

I am an amateur classical guitarist who needs help. What is the pinky finger called? I know it's labeled "c", but what is its full name? Thanks...

[sandinsx]

chico, chiquita or cuñeo (i googled it lol)

[jonniejc]

That guitar /pickup arrangement sounds a bit synthetic to me; I don't like it...

[charlito55]

si no te gusta entonces para ke carajo lo escuchas,, Ademas a kien le interesa si te gusta o no , so webon

[upNadam]

This guy's great. He's doing the chords, melody, and bass line simultaneously and making it look easy.

[beatlesfan1290]

He's a classical guitarist, they're the best.

[jocale1351]

Simplesmente maravilhoso !

Magnifica interpretação da obra prima de Tom Jobim e Vinicius de Morais !

[dieselmanmike]

I like the way "easy guitar" pops up during this great piece of playing !!

[standubz]

love this song! my jazz band plays it!

[jonoroxxx]

and in what way should we care?

[standubz]

and why should we care about you being a sad lonely virgin?

[jonoroxxx]

wow haha that was quite an interesting comeback! bravo!

[Njoyflying]

Geez, how come my classic guitar doesn't make sound like that? ^^

[dieselmanmike]

Same here, maybe 3 notes are the same for me !!

[peachymissony]

Wow, that was amazing.

[Uzumasamasa]

最高。。。感動する。。

[cremjo]

A bit fast but amazing

[ken12041]

聞かせてくれるよ

[bigbluefishlolz]

people nowadays have bassists, singers, drummers, background singers, audio editing... classical guitar songs are great because they are just what they are. only guitar.

[pmerkaba]

Great interpretation of one of my favorite songs.

Thanks

[camachissi]

[danzx91]

Jim Greeninger is just the best !!!

[hillaroo666]

Nice job Jimbo!

Wouldn't expect less from a former student of Andres Segovia now, would we?

5 stars.

[alulema]

Excellent!! (also, it's really incredible how Jim Greeninger looks like Vincent Van Gogh hehehe)
