Hey Michael, I just found your channel yesterday. I confess that at first I was a little put off by ‘the way it was meant to be played”. But you’re right, this IS the way it was meant to be played, as attested to by your many Brazilian commenters. Subscribed!
Another excellent and well-known samba as well as another magnificent and exciting interpretation of classical guitar, I really liked your version Michael, congratulations and thanks for sharing your music, like 5
Lovely playing. lts such a nice arrangement that captures the essence of Bonfa. l've just been listening to his album Brasiliana. He had such a lovely understated charm and sophistication and a wonderful gentle sound. Thanks very much for sharing the sheet music too - Jonathan
Not sure I would have been able to figure out the rhythms without your performance. You really do an outstanding job bringing out the tune. I’m still struggling with the section with the slurs. Your performance is so helpful. Thanks again!
th-cam.com/video/2Cu-Q-EeES8/w-d-xo.html this is def my favorite rendition of the song. I've been trying to incorporate the little vamp at the beginning when playing it
That will also work! And i just found the sheet music you shared with this video ,i didnt see it before sorry hahaha. Thanks! 🙏🏼 and also you play this beautifull !
I am curious-- why do you say this was 'the way it was meant to be played'? Before hearing this beautiful version, I had only heard Bonfa's original, fast paced version. Is that the tempo in this version is more typical of samba?
Great question. It’s a very subjective title. I find this arrangement most similar to Bonfas original. Given there are countless covers, I find this most true.
This version is very well-played, and I like it; however nothing's written in the sky. I believe it's an error to say "this is supposed to be played like this". Barney Kessel plays it great, in my opinion, and I get an awesome vibe from hesring it on the end of the movie "Black Orpheus".
It appears to me the video is not in sync with the audio. Maybe it's on my end. But no, I think the way it is meant to be played is on the Black Orpheus soundtrack. This arrangement sounds a little dyslexic to me.
The way it's meant to be played is the way that Bonfa (the composer) plays it. There are recordings of him playing it so its not really a mystery. Whether the movie ost or this video is truer to the original is debatable, but I love all three versions :)
Maybe I'm just wallowing in self pity, but I can't get enough of authentic sounding bossa nova (albeit to a gringo like me) Recently broke up with my Brazilian girlfriend of 4 years. She wasn't my first Brazillian girlfriend, my first I met on my 20s and was also from Rio. They certainly have a way of getting under my skin
I posted the free tabs/score pdf link in the description section. Enjoy.
This earned a new subscriber!
@@GLAT-uz9ec welcome!
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Danke!
The best part of Black Orpheus is the last scene where the kids make the Sun rise playing this and the kid with the guitar becomes the new Orpheus.
does someone have the tab for that part?
I'm Brazilian, i dont speak english, but is the magnificent, samba is the Brazil vibe, and i love it❤
Thank you! Glad 🇧🇷 approves.

Glad it worked out.
Inspiring! Great interpretation. How did u become interested in Brazilian composers and their music?
Thank you. I’ve always enjoyed Brazilian rhythms. Through classical guitar I’ve been able to play pieces that I really enjoy.
Lots of "color" in this one.
Thanks, really enjoyed this.
Brazilian music is so sweet;
amazing interpretation.
The best

One of my favorite pieces. How did you learn this? By ear, sheet music. I would love to know how. Thank you!
I would like to know too
This is N Takeuchi arrangement from a discontinued collection that’s now out of print.
He has it as a PDF--- JUST look at his notes above.
Could you please make a tutorial ? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i love this song
@@saotosensei2454 thanks. I don’t really do tutorials. However you can always play half or quarter speed on playback.
That will also work! And i just found the sheet music you shared with this video ,i didnt see it before sorry hahaha. Thanks! 🙏🏼 and also you play this beautifull !
@@saotosensei2454Wonderfull. Enjoy
thanks a lot ,
With pleasure.
Great work! Nocturne op 27 no 2 pls.
I’ll look into it
@@MichaelDobkin thank you so much! I'll patiently wait for it
Vai!
Sweet Happy Life !!
Hi Mr. Dobkins! Do you use a foot rest by any chance or anything else to put your foot up when playing your guitar?
I use a foot stool to prop up my guitar. When playing more serious pieces, I’ll sit in a traditional classical guitar positioning.
I am curious-- why do you say this was 'the way it was meant to be played'? Before hearing this beautiful version, I had only heard Bonfa's original, fast paced version. Is that the tempo in this version is more typical of samba?
Great question. It’s a very subjective title. I find this arrangement most similar to Bonfas original. Given there are countless covers, I find this most true.
Coisa linda
Very nice aggrangement... Thanks for sharing.
i wonder if you could do a simplified version of this? im having difficulty understanding the end of the fifth bar :(
Hi John, if you click the setting wheel, you can slow down the speed. Hopefully that can help you. Cheers.
@@MichaelDobkin hey I did but im pretty sure there a mistake on the 16th bar, its not reflecting what you're playing
@@oRaioDeSol thanks. I’ll take a look.
Nice. Guitar sounds amazing. Which model is it? Thanks
Thanks. 2001 Peter Daniels (local luthier)
Nice...
This version is very well-played, and I like it; however nothing's written in the sky. I believe it's an error to say "this is supposed to be played like this". Barney Kessel plays it great, in my opinion, and I get an awesome vibe from hesring it on the end of the movie "Black Orpheus".
I thought the original was in C?
I love samba de orphan
What’s the time signature on this
It’s notated in 4/4 time.
Samba do Orfeu has no partiture , only tabs ?😭
Is there. Read the full description👍
@@MichaelDobkin ❤️😀❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"the way it was meant to be played"? How do you know??
I don’t. Play it any ways you want. But… close to the original recording ✌️
Legal.
Coundn"t hear much of the bass
You don’t hear this one as much as manha de carnival.
The original has a different rhythm to the first three notes
It appears to me the video is not in sync with the audio. Maybe it's on my end. But no, I think the way it is meant to be played is on the Black Orpheus soundtrack. This arrangement sounds a little dyslexic to me.
I just checked Sounds in sync on my end 🤷🏻♂️.
The way it's meant to be played is the way that Bonfa (the composer) plays it. There are recordings of him playing it so its not really a mystery. Whether the movie ost or this video is truer to the original is debatable, but I love all three versions :)
Ill tell the atf thats not how the founding fathers meant to play the ARs and AKs. Smh "pistol brace whip a folk with my 300blk".
Nice but boring...just sayin. You know any early Fleetwood Mac? 😊i.e. "Then Play On"
Another great tutorial...Cheers...

Sorry I have to spoil the fun but I think the best version of Samba De Orfeu is by Sadao Watanabe and Toquinho.
Thanks!
Welcome to the channel! Thank you.
