The most beautiful song ever written. Jobim is a master.

@seandaniel23

Can't argue with that!

Totally agree. Something really special about this song.... learning it scared the crap out of me. But making progress here....

A brutal onslaught of chords indeed! Excellent work in demystifying this beautiful song.

@seandaniel23

Thanks so much! Such a great song!

@doublespeak8745

Unbelievable effort with the run through. Your relaxed nature definitely took the edge and angst off of learning these mind and finger bending chords...Thanks a million!

@transcendenttv

5y↑22

This is perhaps the best video explanation of the actual chords in the actual key of the actual song out there right now. Thanks for that Sean. Everything else I've found is either in the wrong key or just has totally off chords to try to be easier.... Even CifraTV which normally does pretty well with MPB and Bossa songs. (PS -- it would REALLY help to have a sheet with the chords you use written down btw....) -E

I landed here after exhausting my go-to tab websites, all of which failed me. Bless you for untangling this beautiful mess. Normally, I struggle with learning from videos, but this is a fantastic tutorial that was easy to follow! (As easy as a song with a million chord variations can be, anyway.) Thank you!

@seandaniel23

Thanks so much! It's such a great song!

@smartguy303

For sure, I'm hoping to do more songs semi-regularly.

@ittipatvanich4498

8y↑5

Hey! Just want to let you know that I really appreciate this tutorial! Been wanting to play this song for so long but it looks real tough haha. You are freaking awesome.

@seandaniel23

Happy to help! Yeah it's a challenge for sure but so worth it.

@TheDubMobile

This is a great tutorial for a very beautiful song that i have wanted to learn for a long time. Thank you!

@seandaniel23

So glad you liked it!

@filoprofesor6216

I always wanted to play a bossa nova song, but I thought it was too difficult. Thanks to this pedagogic tutorial now it has been almost easy and very fun. Tomorrow I will play it and my woman will sing it with me.

@Rogue71

3y↑2

I don't even play the guitar, just stopping by, as a Brazilian, to show some appreciation for so much effort to explain one of the hallmarks of Brazilian music. Also, special bonus points for the intro =D

@seandaniel23

Thanks so much!!!

@danielangona9933

Beautiful theme to play on guitar!
Learn how to play it when you put together a detailed transcription, showing the chord image above the lyrics.
I would love that you also can learn it and always carry it in your songbook.

I leave you the pdf to download it at the following link: https://app.gumroad.com/espaciogarash

A hug to all!

@bigbattenberg

8y↑3

This is a great (for me) much needed lesson, my fretting hand is lagging behind my playing hand (agonisingly slow...), so I really needed a "million chord" song for practice. The basic rhythm I got very quickly from you "Bossa Nova Intro". Keep up the good work Sean!

@seandaniel23

Thanks, yeah this is a perfect song to put the pressure on your fretting hand. I still have trouble getting to all those chords on time. :)

@Supardanil

8y↑12

Oh man, the chords don't stop!! This'll be a fun one to study. Great lesson!

@seandaniel23

8y↑1

Thanks Daniel! Yeah they just keep coming.

@ZebulaJams

8y↑3

You've really driven me recently to try to expand my knowledge of 7th, 6th and 9 chords. I think this will be a good stepping stone in that direction.

@seandaniel23

8y↑1

Yeah this one is like a masterclass in new chords.

@AdityaPratama-id7ti

@YourBuddyRob

Wow, this is the first time I've seen one of your videos! You think like I do, and it was a great pleasure to hear you explain it this way. Well done!

@seandaniel23

Thanks so much for watching and reaching out Pepe!

@lugi1587

Thanks so much for watching! He's the best :)

@tonesofhome83

5y↑1

Thank you! God bless you sir. For me this is the most moving masterpieces of Jobim. Cheers from sunny Manila

@unklewink

8y↑1

Thanks for posting this one, Sean. I developed an interest in the song after watching a delightful version of it by Nataly Dawn and Carlos Cabrera.

@seandaniel23

I think my favorite is the one Jane Monheit does. You should give that a listen if you get a chance.

@unklewink

I did. Pretty good. Many good versions out there. Portuguese is a pretty language. I still especially like the slow chord release Natalie and Carlos did in the middle of their version.

@justink5585

wow! this is surprisingly easy once you have it explained in a simple structured way.

@filmcrew1551

7y↑1

The chord sheet was super helpful. It does change keys somewhere for a bit in the original, but I'll figure it out. Thanks!

@seandaniel23

7y↑1

I appreciate you watching!

@hughmackechnie2104

Sweet! I find it easier to use just my thumb to play most of the root notes for these chords.

@pierreallain8432

great work, thank you !

@escalera601

Awesome job. Thank you.

@rjbubba203

This is such a great lesson!!!!

@rjbubba203

Lots and lots of pausing but it’s coming through💖💖💖

@TheAkdzyn

I love this song so much.

@pleasure.93

thank you so much, your video help me to play this beautiful song

@ntp608

Thanks for a great lesson. I've been meaning to learn this tune for a long time. I would just like to say the chord you're calling D#m7(9)F# I think of as a C minor7th flat 5. For me, it seems easier to grab when I think C minor7 with flat 5.

@hadardar6788

4y↑1

Hi much thanks for the lesson! I've been watching couple different videos and listening to Elis&Tom's version being slowed down, so I could figure out the exact same changes they do there. I found your chord sheet very helpful but the link is broken - any chance you fix it or upload it again?

@zakpulis

8y↑9

Had to stop the video just to comment on that fabulous intro. Don't know how you come up with these things Sean!

@seandaniel23

8y↑2

Haha thanks so much for noticing! It's funny you mention it because it took me like 20 minutes to work that part and the whole time I'm like 'wtf am I doing?'

@MrScomin

you were doing exactly what you needed to do. new style of guitar: bossa nova wars

@Jemeneye7

@seandaniel23

@gu.andreazzi

8y↑2

As a brazilian, I'm flattered to see this video! Thank you very much!

@seandaniel23

Great to hear, such an awesome song :)

@gu.andreazzi

Sean Daniel Oh, you saw me! haha :)

Tom Jobim is a great composer, indeed. He actually wrote masterpieces. Such complexity! But he's most valuated by others than by his own people. Give a try to "Wave". Aside "Águas de Março", is one of most recognizable song.

Other guy that has plenty good pieces is Heitor Villa Lobos. He's classical, but still have roots on his songs.

Have a nice, uh, evening? :)

@Pablo-ft6un

hey sean really great work. and i could not agree more - this intro of yours is one of the wittiest and funniest vidoes out there. real fun. one thing i am wondering though. As the key is Bb shouldn't the chords rather read as Eb rather than D#? The same goes for G# that might better interpreted as Ab. Just some details in an overall great tutorial - but as the whole cadence appears to go around the christoph cadence - I - I7 - IV - IV7 (in this case Bb - Bb7 Eb -Eb7) this might be something worth to consider - my2cts. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@rickrogers7227

I'm a "thumb player" and as such some of these chords I root with my thumb on the E string. Notice the 7b5 rooted on the E, is essentially a Dm fingering using the D, G and B string instead of the G, B and E string. For m7b5 I use an Am fingering. Quicker for me to get to when using altered extensions rooted on the E. I do the same thing a lot with 7ths rooted on the E using the "D" fingering on the D, G and B string. Also use the D fingering with Dim7 rooted on E. I know most teachers steer you away from using the thumb, but I'm mostly self taught and truth be told I get there and on to the next a whole lot faster.

@ThatEvilsaint

8y↑1

I'm having a great bit of fun trying to get what was taught down proficiently. When do you think the subsequent lesson will follow?

@seandaniel23

I'm shooting to have it done and posted by the end of this weekend :)

@brettbreet

7y↑1

Great lesson! With enough practice, I should be able to nail this one down. I think you got that weird chord mostly right... a D#m6 (or Ebm6) in its first inversion. I'm not sure if it has a ninth -- which would be a F natural. Maybe if you continued the barre down to the first string to snag that F. Now that's quite a chord!

@seandaniel23

Haha, no kidding right! I have nightmares about that chord!

@tromboneJTS

It seems to be missing the 9th. Also, if the key is Bb the correct notation would be Ebm6, as you say.

@SwissMarkus

excellent teaching !

@jgpret

Hello! Just out of curiosity: did you change the original tone (half step lower) for any specific reason?

@mackie4397

Yes, I agree, this is one of your best intro jokes.

@seandaniel23

+Anthony Nguyen You know I haven't found a ton of them, I'm sure they're out there but I'll try and make a few more lessons myself soon :)

@anthonyn01

Thanks for your help. I was also wondering how you would play the rhythms of each chord (your right hand). I think you showed it at the end of your second video but Im not too clear on how it went. Thanks again!

@florent5884

Man you are a great person

@pensulpusher2729

Hey I'm a little confused on that D#m6(9)F# because it appears that the c is actually the major 6th of D sharp, so should that effect the labeling? Also I've seen that chord marked as Ebmmaj7/F# which was still more confusing because I don't see how there's a major 7 in that chord.

@seandaniel23

7y↑1

Ok let's look at the notes: F#-C-D#-A#-C-(then if you bar all the way across the F on the high e string). So the presence of D#-F#-A# gives us the firm presence of a D#m. C is the major 6th of D# (you would think you'd take the 6th note from the minor scale to make a minor 6 chord but that's not how it works [watch my vid on minor 6 chords for more of that]) then that F (which I'm actually omitting would be the 9)

@pensulpusher2729

Sean Daniel, thank you I did not realize that about 6th chords

@cwilson8083

8y↑2

thanks for the video sean. What model guitar are you playing ? can you recommend an accoustic to add to my collection ? I have several modest priced guitars and a few expensive ones. I would like a nice acoustic to compliment my 2012 les paul traditional and 2015 PRS CE. I played a taylor 114 today and it played real nice. But I am looking more for a oooh thats a nice guitar with out getting to $2000. It will stay in my recording area man cave for the most part. I take my mexican made fender HSS with a floyd rose and my takamine drednaught to jam sessions with friends. But I am trying to build a guitar trio of 3 really nice guitars. suggestions ?

@seandaniel23

Very cool man. Mine is a Taylor GA3 and I'm a total fanboy for it, you can still find some used online but they've switched their line to the Taylor 314 which is one I'd highly recommend checking out, I think it's just a great balance of size/tone/playability that really works for me. However it's funny you mention it because I just had a recording today with a girl who had a Taylor 322, and it was fantastic, that one might be in your price range too if you get a chance to check them out, has a little more wow factor. I'm just a big fan of Taylors in general because they play so great across the board.

@cwilson8083

Thanks for your recomendation . I will look at those this week. And thanks again for the good guitar and music videos you are publishing !

Why do you use that difficult Eb m7 shape instead of the easy bar chord version?

@cwilson8083

8y↑1

oh.... i would like to add that i know its not the guitar that makes the player. I am sure you can make a $200 yamaha sound amazing. I am just looking to treat myself to something nice without spending a fortune. I dont need all the bindings and AAA top. But willing to spend money on the quality of sounds the tone woods provide and the playability of the guitar.
