Chega de Saudade ( Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes )

[slikanee]

Ohayo! Great stuff man, bom bossa novista! Don't know if you noticed but the page with the chords for this song is gone, was relying on it to learn it! Will you be putting it back up? = ) . ! .

[helibossa]

@slikanee Thank you for bringing the problem to my attention. The other day, I moved my blog to a new place, and the program I wrote had a bug that you couldn't go to previous pages when you searched the blog contents. I have fixed the bug right now, so please try it again.

[helibossa]

@poichan89 thank you!

[helibossa]

@fraidwoodcesco thank you!

Venicius wrote it, Tom made it famous, but Joao made it into what it is...Tom always credtied Joao, not like Miles Daviws, whole stole Eddie "Vleanhead" Vincent's classic jazz "Four" and "Tune Up", only giving Cleanhead a few bucks when they'd run ito each other...How do I know? I knew Cleanhead since my back was shorter than his hand, and he was again closest when my first husband, jazz drummer, played with him...he was the first one there when my first baby was born. See the difference? go!

[Gxyz222]

This is what I like to see, helibossa in top form! I don't know about the other three people that didn't like this(such amateurs), but he is a true bossanovista!

[helibossa]

@Gxyz222 thank you!

[pablitoelenano]

[ivo4139]

uma raridade mesmo japones cantando bossa e muito bom...

[helibossa]

@ivo4139 muito obrigado.

[miguelgsantos90]

your portuguese is really good. i wonder if you've ever studied portuguese before. Good singing and playing as well!!

[helibossa]

@miguelgsantos90 Thank you! I began to study Portuguese a few yeas ago, but it is difficult for me to learn it. I'd like to study harder.

[Drummykins]

@helibossa learn what the words mean, it will be easy soon. that music gets people who never heard it so into the joy of it...Joao in Tokyo...

[sonnenbergbossa]

Beautiful vocal tone! Happy to have found you!

Paul

[helibossa]

@sonnenbergbossa thank you for your kind comment.

[coolgene91]

You're very good at this song!! I'm so impressed!

You should, however, breathe with your nose when you sing.  I'm no singing expert, and maybe it's just me, but it sometimes sounds like you're panting like a dog and that seems to interfere with your sound.

All in all, very good performance. I've watched this video dozens of times already :)

[helibossa]

thank you for your comment.

sometimes I feel that it is difficult for me to inhale correctly while singing. I'd like to be able to do so by improving my posture and breathing.

[YusefGuitarum]

Really enjoyable. I liked your accent, hope you do some more.

[helibossa]

thank you for your kind comment.

[Tehuelche941]

excelente!!

[helibossa]

thenk you!

[Gustavo32258070]

Congratulations for the wonderful taste in music that you have, the Portuguese language is very difficult to be well spoken, but you did very well, congratulations again, an embrace of Campinas in Brazil

[rodgw]

Very tuneful. A lot, by the way. The pronounce of "little kisses" at the "beijinhos" became with more "T". Pronounce more with "J" (or "JSHI") in English. Out this, you was wonderfull!

Congratulations!!!

[helibossa]

Thank you for your comment. It is difficult for me to pronounce foreign languages properly. Your advice is useful for me. Thank you!

[antitesebr]

You sing very well, I'm impressed. There's just one thing missing: our "ginga" in your voice. One day, if you can, came to Brazil and try to feel the way the people here speak. An mixed accent from africans, indians and europeans. If you can understand that, you'll not only sing in portuguese, but FEEL in portuguese too.

Thanks for this beautiful video =D

[helibossa]

thank you for your comment and advise. I think that understanding a foreign culture including its language truly would be more difficult than imitating it. And to understand it more, it would be good to visit and stay the country which the culture belongs to.

[prikiinha]

Wow! Simply amazing!!! I've got to agree with the other commenters, your effort was impressive. Thank you for posting this, I'm very glad to see it. Congrats!

Greetings from Sao Paulo, Brazil!

[helibossa]

thank you for your kind comment.

[Dougguitarshred]

Hello!!!

I am really impressed from your effort!!! I'm sure it is real hard to a Japanese to speak Portuguese... I'm from Brazil, and I'm trying to learn Japanese, so I can guess what you've been through. I hope you keep enjoying Bossa Nova... and keep playing and posting, so I can be a bit proud of my country... lol!!!

Thanks a lot... Your effort actually made me want to learn more about our own music... Thanks again!!!

[helibossa]

Thank you for your kind comment. A few years ago, textbooks about bossa nova lyrics were published in Japan. They have CDs which contained the reading of the lyrics by a native Brazillian. They were so useful that I could learn singing bossa nova songs in Portuguese. But I have learned little about meanings of the words and the grammar of Portuguese...I'd like to keep on learning them.

[ericm24]

This is a fantastic effort! Great work! And thank you infinitely for posting the chord progression! Muito Obrigado!!!!!!

[helibossa]

thank you for your kind comment and I am happy that you read my posting.

[sneakermestupid3]

can you please make a tutorial?

that was simply beautiful!

[helibossa]

thank you for your comment.

I wrote the chord progression on my blog. I have written the URLs in the "description" column of this song. although they are written in Japanese, you can probably see the chords and tabs.

[nhirsch]

very nicely done. You show talent and respect for the wonderful music you play. thanks.... keep it alive!!!

[helibossa]

thank you for your kind comment.

[nhirsch]

I would like to see/hear you do "Bim Bom" also!

[helibossa]

I would like to try it sometime. thank you.

[gatamansa09]

Que coisa linda!

[helibossa]

[rafasoledade]

I think your effort is admirable :) very smooth guitar playing and good job on your portuguese. Keep up the good work, congratulations

[helibossa]

thank you for your kind comment. it is not easy for me to

learn Portuguese, but I'd like to keep studying it.

[rafasoledade]

[helibossa]

hi joelbitton,

thank you for your comment.

[franpurasangre]

geniall

great

[helibossa]

hi franpurasangre,

thank you for your comment.

[lindsayhay]

This is great! Well done. I love this song so much. Do you have chord charts? Or did you just figure it out yourself?

[helibossa]

Thanks for your kind comment. I love this song, too. I learned the chord progression of this song from a songbook called "Bossa nova standards 101" published in Japan. I transposed it from C to D and changed some chords in order to play it easily.

[Obascur]

Great Intepretation! Congratulations!

Would you mind sharing the chords?

[helibossa]

hi Obascur.

thank you for your kind comment.

I wrote the chord progression on my blog. since it seems that I cannot write any URLs in the "comment" colomn, I have written the URLs in the "description" column of this song. although they are written in Japanese, you can probably see the chords and tabs.

[lacone3615]

Fantastic. Great guitar playing and singing. How long have you been playing the guitar?

[helibossa]

Thanks for your kind comment.

I began to play the guitar about twelve years ago. But I have been playing rock, pop, folk music with steel string guitars for a long time. Last year I bought a nylog string guitar and began to play Bossa Nova.

[akaminehidetoshi]

very nice!

just eight months you got that? amazing.

i've been playing the song maybe for five years by now and i still don't feel like showing it.

bravo.

[helibossa]

Thanks for your kind comment.

As I love this song, I have been practicing it harder than any other songs.

But it is so difficult that I have rarely played it without making any mistakes. So I am going to continue practicing it.

[bossapeach]

I enjoyed the music and you have a great voice :-) This is my favorite Jobim song :-)

[helibossa]

Thanks for your kind comment.

I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the music.

I love this song, too.
