[peluza2708]

Congratulations!

Excellent interpretation

[Jazzguts]

@peluza2708 Thanks for your words and visit,Vic.

[giyonce83]

big fan of you Vic, BIIIG BIG FAN GREAT!

[Jazzguts]

@giyonce83 Thank you for the great support,Vic.

[jottie77]

Have you ever did a chord chart for this song. I was able to get most of them but there is a couple I have not got yet. That 2nd chord is a G-13 I think

[Jazzguts]

@jottie77 Everything is done by Heart,nothing written down. I have about 30 finger style tunes scored which I sell,so if you're interested I could send you my (finger-style) tutorial with all relevant Info,greets Vic.

[jottie77]

I also forgot to say that was amazing I love those chords you were playing.

[Jazzguts]

@jottie77 Thank you, great hearing these positive comments,greets Vic.

[jottie77]

the best one on u tube! for that song

[raviol87]

yeah Garota

[ClaNan]

I could listen to this music all day. I wish more people did music like this today. Thank you. What brand of guitars do you use? Look forward to more. One looks like an Ibanez GB10

[Jazzguts]

@ClaNan Thank you, well this music requires great craftsmanship and understanding theory, many beat around the bush avoiding the hard work. Too much distractions these days , instead of studying it's playing computer games. This is a Epiphone-Rivera and I do own a GB20 (Ibanez) there are many videos where i use the GB20,greetings Vic.

[nanaghoysapayag]

hi sir jazz i really like your guitar sound really sweet.. hmm sir would mind if i ask wat scale did you use?? thanks you sir. :D

[Jazzguts]

@nanaghoysapayag Thank you ,this is a very complex piece,I might do a video on explanation one time,all the best Vic.

[dawgyv72]

'72 Thinline? looks a lot like one

[Jazzguts]

@dawgyv72 Epiphone Rivera,to be precise,thanks,Vic.

[allanmindingo]

eu sou seu fã!

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

Am I the only person who thought it was funny that he had a completely normal comment conversation with a guy called "niggerfuckshitreborn"?

[Jazzguts]

@MoarOfTehRawkege Yes it's a very strange name indeed, but when you start punchin' in names to start a channel and every possible name is taken then you might start trying some mighty weird Stuff,Vic.

[peedyish]

I really like, this your guitar sounds really sweet, what is it by the way ?335.

Best Regards

Tony

[Jazzguts]

@peedyish Thanks Tony,it's an Epiphone Rivera, greets Vic.

[3584817]

Very nice! I ran with the accompanying percussions and succeeded well

[stringbender57]

My favorite Bossa! NICE stuff. Keep them coming. I love listening to you play man!

[Jazzguts]

@stringbender57 Thank you for checking me out like this,also thanks for the Sub appreciate that,Vic.

[Examinerthrash]

a REAL musician.. not like freakin lady gaga and all the shit that mtv gives you..

[Jazzguts]

@Examinerthrash Now you're talkin brother and for real musicians these are frustrating times,living in a plastic world, Amen,Vic.

[niggerfuckshitreborn]

@Jazzguts cmon man, why see the negative sides instead of seeing the extremely few postitive sides. theres good in ALL music.. theres something to learn from everything. all experience is good experience.

[Jazzguts]

@niggerfuckshitreborn Well to use your own words, "extremely few positive sides",sure I can relate to that. And to be honest there's good and bad Music and when I listen to a bunch a guys who can't even tune their instruments that's a bad experience for my ears. Vic.

[niggerfuckshitreborn]

@Jazzguts that bad experience doesnt make you a worse musician in anyway. you'll be more experienced for enduring what u think is crap. i dont know.. my teacher told me to always listen to everything regardless of genre merely for the experience.. be it good or bad and ive always followed that "philosophy".

[Jazzguts]

@niggerfuckshitreborn In the sense your Teacher means it,I can understand,I also listen to many genres of Music and enjoy that. But I hear too much guys here on the Tube who haven't done their homework and uploading a bunch of crap instead of isolating themselves and studying hard to play something worthwhile that has a nice level,that's my Idea.

[niggerfuckshitreborn]

@Jazzguts yeah i understand what you mean. you're great by the way :) its a joy listening to you play!

[Jazzguts]

@niggerfuckshitreborn Thank you, I've enjoyed this little conversation,all the best,Vic.

[BrianS198]

@Examinerthrash Lady Gaga may be known for her stuff that is played on the radio every five seconds, but she's a hell of a musician. She studied music in New York before writing music for Interscope Records. Not to take away from what you were saying because I full-heart-idly agree, but just to say that there are a few popular musicians today with actual talent, :P

[Jazzguts]

@BrianS198 I agree on what you said about her talent,but I don't like the radio format thing in which every Artist is forced, you may not this you may not that,this has certainly killed the creativity of many folks, every time a good tune with a guitar solo is played you can bet your life that the solo is always faded out, everything has to be within 3 minutes,such a limitation,Vic.

[BoojWaZEE]

GREAT version of a GREAT song !!!

[Jazzguts]

@BoojWaZEE A joy to hear that from you,Vic.

[jmbgouveia]

excellent as always. Would you please considred to play DESAFINADO I think is from Tom Jobim? I would love to ear it from you.cheers,joao

[Jazzguts]

@jmbgouveia Thanks Joao, I like much Brazilian Stuff and certainly will consider it,be good my friend,Vic.

[notatooma222]

Beautiful. I'm definitely stealing some of those chord melodies though...

[Jazzguts]

@notatooma222 Stealing is one thing but making them up something else, success,Vic.

[intune1234]

Fantastic!

[Jazzguts]

@intune1234 Thank you very much,Vic.

[MrJimdeb]

I like it a lot. Nice smooth playing and the guitar sounds great.

[Jazzguts]

@MrJimdeb Thanks you played a nice version with your wife yourself,Vic.

[guitarpicka1]

Yeah Man....well played.. so very cool.. and I loved your lines..!!

[Jazzguts]

@guitarpicka1 Thank you,welcome to all my further material,greets Vic.

[lucaseugenioquintao]

Hi Vic. After lisening your performance playing Gril from Ipanema I am sure that you have bossa nova virus in your blood. Congratulations!!! Is the one of the best performance that I coul listening.

[Jazzguts]

@lucaseugenioquintao Thank you very much,the Bossa Nova and Samba has always caught my ear as excellent Music to broaden one's horizon in terms of great chord sequences and improvisation,cheers Vic.

[doctordelboy]

What more can I say, Excellent song played with your superb arrangement again, and played so well by yourself. I hope to buy your CDs through Amazon soon as they are on the market, but as yet they are not avaible in the UK.

Saw your site but I like seeing and listening to you on You Tube.

Delboy UK

[Jazzguts]

@doctordelboy Thank you, soon my CD's will be available for purchase on my WebSite,we're working on that section now,all the best,Vic.

[MrBohemio123]

[Jazzguts]

charles, gracias, por mi es muy importante con respeto al compositor para improvisar en mi propio estillo, gracias por tu commentario, saludo Vic.

[sampogi0518]

by the way, i'm your fan now like sirondragon. i'm not a man but a girl! you are great guitarist.

[Jazzguts]

@sampogi0518 then I'll start to show some respect, I'm glad I have another fan and so to see a nice person too,friendly greetings Vic.

[quekboonbang]

@Jazzguts really enjoy all the songs you played. Is it possible for us know where do you get the backing track or do you sell them?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks quekboonbang, I use the new version of B.I.B. (band in a box) check it out on internet, if you purchase this software you can easily make your own backing to any tune you like. greets Vic.

[quekboonbang]

@Jazzguts Thank you, I have a 2008 copy of BB in my system. I used it by removing the melody and I jam over it. Really wonderful! I m a fan of you on U

[Jazzguts]

quelboonbang, the technology does it all, lot's of success with jamming,cheers Vic.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

A fine job of playing this tune.. : )))))

[Jazzguts]

Thank you steve,more than welcome man,Greets Vic.

[heca906]

Like that caramel color on the guitar. It's an Epi right? Great playing. I want to learn this how you played it

[Jazzguts]

Thanks heca906, I love her too,great guitar, it's an Epiphone, you can study it of this Video,greets Vic.

[cascaozinho10]

increíble. La verdad Víctor que hace un tiempo conocí tus videos y disfruto cada vez escucho tu música. admiro tu sensibilidad y tu musicalidad. te mando un abrazo desde Buenos Aires

[Jazzguts]

[Jazzguts]

Muchas gracias tjOodesa1, encantado y muchu excito con mi improvisation, puedes mandar un mensaje quando has terminado?Saludos Vic (perdona mi Espanol)

[jatuleba]

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Jatuleba, nice getting compliments from Brazilians who know Jobim's Music like no other,you're very welcome,Vic.

[3dsmaxmaster]

Gee, I love this guy, A perfect musician......Its ok I am not that way inclined! but he is awesome.......so smooth

[Jazzguts]

Thank you 3dsmax, much appreciated,Vic.

[Marshmallowmann]

this is soooo the sims buying music!

[MinnesotaFlash]

Darned NICE!!!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Minnesota, glad you liked it,gr Vic.

[CrazyWorld65]

That's another nice one. Usually i hate this number, a result of visiting to much elevators and cheesy restaurants- and that Astrid Gulberto makes me go Aaaaaaah! (not in good way). But this I like.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks CrazyWorld65, I know exactly what you mean, I'm not fond of Gilberto myself, but when you look through all these things it still remains a fine composition and the Brige is real jummy with fine chord progression,greets Vic.

[mikegodinho]

Beautiful Vic!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Mike,indeed always a fine piece to improvise on,greets Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks leyn42,always a pleasure for me,greets Vic.

[leyn42]

very nice!!

[elgranporo]

muy lindo! muy talentoso!

[Jazzguts]

Gracias elgranporo, por tu commentario positivo,saludos Vic.

[sjdevan]

Great playing Vic and really nice guitars throughout your songs. Can I ask what amp your using with your GB10 and do you use any effects?

Thanks.

Howie

[Jazzguts]

Thanks sjdevan, live I use a polytone minibrut 3 but for recording here I go straight into a 4 channel mixer and slightly add some EQ(if necessary) no effects added on my Jazz and finger style just a little reverb,I like a natural sound,greets Vic.

[dvdyu16]

you gotta teach me how to do this @_@...i've always dreamed of being a good guitar player..yet im not i wanna know how to play better

[Jazzguts]

Thanks dvdyu16, go to Tibet,meditate for a year ,be certain guitar is your thing and go for it with all you got, no half-heartedness please,greets Vic.

[ZahraCat]

...que coisa mais linda!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Zahra, in spanish: Que cosa mas linda, true my spanish (latin) I understand you, saludos Vic.

[pamirs94]

this is excellent.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Pamirs94,see you're really diggin in my stuff,thanks for that,greets Vic.

[sashaafm]

How come you're so good? I'm not all into Jazz, I prefer rock and metal oriented music.

However, I'm studying at a jazz school and I really enjoy your tunes. I really dig your tone and licks. You just have the best phrases and timing.

Also this is a beautiful song =)

Could you give some tips on how to play the harmony and melody on the same guitar?

Thanks.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks sashaafm, well I love Blues and Rock too, through my Jazz studying the approach to these styles have changed, I would say enriched by the harmonic ideas of the Jazz. I love fusing these different ideas into something else lately. in a while I'll have some lessons on my WebSite,you can visit it only the lessons are under construction yet,we're working on those. Check my profile here on YT there I also have some free lessons,not on this subject but they're interesting,greets Vic.

[pamirs94]

BE into in jazz. I think that metal just gives you headaches.

[HarmoniasDaLuaJazz]

nice

[Jazzguts]

Gracias Harmonias,Vic.

[ghalym]

Victor, nice version and inspiring improvisation. Bravo and keep playing great music in your personal style.

Greetings from Kazakhstan, Almaty!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Almaty, glad you enjoyed,always welcome,greetings from Holland,Vic.

[5caudillos]

Really beautiful...very tasteful!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks caudillos,always welcome I'll be checking out more of your work,gretts Vic.

[lhoegee]

great job  vic 5*****

[Jazzguts]

Ihoegee,thanks a lot for your support,greets Vic.

[jimmyblackjazz]

Dont get down Bro. You are doing great things on YT.

In this world we live in its easy to get disuaded by things going on around us, hang in ther buddy, the light is at the end of the tunnel!

Saludos

Jimmy

[Jazzguts]

Thanks jimmy, for your uplifting words,going much better today, see you around and keep playing, greets Vic.

[jimmyblackjazz]

Hi Vic, hows things?

Really like the intro/first chorus to this song, where you combine the "two worlds" of solo and and still supproting the rythum, shows you are a grounded player.

the solo was faultless as usual.

Not the easiest tune to play over.

My little sister has just sent me the Romero Lubambo DVD with bossa studies, heck, there is just so much to learn.

You are an inspiration as always.

Saludos

[Jazzguts]

Yeah Jimmy, sometimes I just want to give up everything, I'm in a minor tone man, I know it sounds strange, but I sometimes get this feeling it doesn't matter what I do, the world goes on and on and what the hack, I'm just a screw in the big Mill,if you know what I mean? I'm not ashamed but I feel really down man, as if  I'm a kind of entertainment machine,what's the sense, Vic.

[dragondix]

I've looked at about a dozen of your latest clips and you have a heap of views and a heap of great comments from people all over the world. That you may help or affect just one person in a positive way is a miracle; and you've done it many many times over through you tube and your guitar.

RESPECT

[Jazzguts]

Thanks dragondix, glad with your comment, what you wrote is very healing for the Soul, which needs that positive vibe once and a while, I'm very grateful for your well meant words,greets Vic.

[jmbgouveia]

No words. just listen.

My favourite bossa nova, after that comes blues and Jazz.

[Jazzguts]

That's a good mentality Jmb... just listening that's the thing,that's where it's at, listening in silence, greets Vic.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks for your time and appreciation Claude I'm flattered, greets Vic.

[cheque6971]

sweet sounds

sonido dulce como latinoamericano :D nice tech playing guitar man you are master with that style :D

[Jazzguts]

Muchas gracias cheque6971,nacio en Curacao (N.A.) y naturalmente escuchaba mucha musica latina en mi juventud, these are my Roots Amigo,Greets Vic.

[miltonrocker]

good feelling victor

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Miltonrocker,what's all that knowledge without feeling,adepts to all in life, Greets Vic.

[7645615]

PS Am I right in thinking you are still playing the minor sevenths at the bridge but the second two are different voicings i'e' not confined to the d to high e strings. Gives more depth?

[Jazzguts]

Hi 765... well most mi7 positions are the common ones with the bass on the low E string but here I also use Gm9 in 10th position with root on A string,love those voicings,greetings Vic.

Glad you liked my improv

[7645615]

I know i was wrong but this is the very first tune I learned on guitar - actual published chords - so it means loads to me. Also my stint in Brazil meant I got lots of influence from great players. Once again tho - you're right on it especially the improv. Thanks.

[jazzyedwin24]

Just beautiful. BREVO VIC!!!

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Edwin,see you're really checkin out my Stuff thanks for that,greets Vic.

[kdkmo]

This is one of the nicest renditions of this great tune I have ever heard. I absolutely love your playing. That is a beautiful sounding instrument as well. How did you record it?

[Jazzguts]

Thanks kdkmo, I work with a small 4 channel Spirit mixer where guitar signal and backingtrack are mixed together in stereo before going to the audio port of my Mac,that's it,nice and simple,greets Vic.

[juankliss]

Hey, you're awesome!

May I ask you two little questions?

First, which are the two chords you pay at 1:16 and 1:17 ?

And finally, in which scale / s are you improvising?

[everreadyyy]

very well done.faved with thanks,Ed

[Jazzguts]

Thanks everready,you're always welcome,greets Vic.

[greenulysses]

[samerika]

Me impresionó que ademas de tocar tan bien guitarra hables castellano!

Sigue así saludos desde chile.

[Jazzguts]

Ola samerika, me gusta Espana mucho,no solamente por su naturalesa per tambien por los maestros de la guitara, Vicente Amigo, Raymundo Amador,Paco de Lucia, todo con sus propios estillos, saludos Victor.

[samerika]

De esos solo conzco paco de lucia, es bastante bueno!

[gmhoward]

Awesonme job Vic, this has been a favorite of mine since I was a wee lad.

[santora57]

One of my favorite songs.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks santora57, and I love playing it, thanks for listening,greets Vic.

[Twirretwarre]

Oooooh, I love this tune and love it played by you my friend. Have to listen once more.

Roeleke

[Jazzguts]

Thanks Roeleke, thanks for sending my new finger-style arrangement round my lady,now I've got blisters on my fingers responding to all the comments,LOL,greets Vic.

[ThePancakeChef]

Hey Vic, very nice version you play there. I only learned playing the chords at guitar lessons and this sounds so great. This song is great! Thanks for another nice song.

[Jazzguts]

Hi Pancake...you're welcome,try improvising on the changes it's quite a challenge, greets Vic.

[greenlentils]

Also about this elevator music debate, I'd say that elevator music often has jazz harmony, it is in fact jazz (with all its complexity) and sometimes very good jazz, only with a very smooth sound and very constant rhythm (which suits as background music).

[Jazzguts]

Hi Greenlentils, you're right in your explanation,and I have no trouble that good jazz is used as background music, when the good listener is sitting in the lounge his ear detects many facets that tickles the mind while others keep on chatting and the little Music Pearls are lost for them, greets Vic.

[greenlentils]

Welcome back Victor! I like your version, if I have to find something I'd say the melody is a bit quiet, well that's a matter of taste, but when you switch to solo improvising it's great and dynamic as usual.

[RtotheOY]

great playing vic! a really soothing tune :)

5*

cheers roy
