Hiya Sandra, did'nt you have this lesson on accoustic guitar somewhere? Please if so could you send me the link, thanks for all your great lessons it's amazing how you teach and you're always super positive which really helps when trying to learn these difficult songs ❤
Decided to work on 'Girl From' and the first place I looked .... Yeah, Sandra covered that and in her typical balance of detail and brevity. Thanks much!
I love it! 'Ipanema' is my favorite 'Bossa' and your chord arrangement is easy to finger and follow, yet sounds lush and is fun to play. Another great lesson from my favorite TH-cam Jazz guitar instructor. Thanks Sandra!
Thank you Sandra! I bought the PDF. What I would REALLY love is a simple chord chart like you have in the corner of your video for the whole song. But I can write it down the old fashioned way. It's been many years since I played a G13 and it has been really fun playing this.
Thank you for this. I'm going to come back later and buy the full package and work on this over the weekend. Your explanation of rhythm is excellent -- I can play bossa nova style a little bit, but your tip about the quicker chord change (e.g. from Gm7 to C9) is great.
After 55 years of playing the guitar, you are the one, Sandra, who has taught me how to play this GFI song that I always wanted to learn precisely. As a long-time (now retired) international administrator, I can't unequivocally attest that you are indeed a MASTER teacher who plans and executes her lessons well! In short, WOW! Thank you for your accomplished instruction, thus making a significant, musical impact in this temporary hurried world of ours. Peace be with you, in the name of Jesus Christ, Sandra! Keep sharing your talent with graceful, confident eloquence. --Denver, CO
Hi Sandra, love your jazz lessons, so much so I have added an Epiphone Emperor II Joe pass guitar to my collection. I play it through a Fender Blues Deluxe vintage amp. I must admit I am struggling with getting a jazzy tone out of this guitar/amp combo. I love Bossa Nova so once again thanks for all the tutorials. I was wondering whether you have ever considered arranging Billy Joel's "Just the way you are" Bossa style? If you have will you share it with us, bossa lovers? Thanks from Canada
I'm really surprised you're having difficulty with your jazz tone. That guitar amp combo you have is great! Did your watch my video "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings" already? The last couple of minutes I talk about proper amp settings. Check it out!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Hi Sandra, yes I have watched your video. I have been able to get a more jazzy tone, by increasing the middle and presence settings. I tried to increase the volume to a point where the sounds distorts but went back to volume set at 2. I’m playing indoors and my 40 watt tube is really loud. I’ m using flat wound strings 11 gauge, love them, so quiet. I believe I now have a nice jazz tone and cannot improve it by fiddling with my gear any longer. It’s up to me now. Tone is in our fingers, right? Thank you for all your great advice. Merry Christmas!
Hi Sandra! Where were you 30 yrs ago?! This was my first Bossa, and (IMO) an important song to know. Every time we play it, people smile with recognition. Glad you made a lesson on it - and, the rhythm comments are as important as the chords😄👍. I’ve always enjoyed comping this one behind our trumpet player - I even strip it down more to open up space. So much can be done with these masterpieces! Nice lesson🙌.
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman Thx Sandra, much appreciated🙏. Hand is slowly improving - pain is gone, for which I am grateful. I even gave Yesterdays a try last week 😉. Stay safe.
The oh so lovely Sandra Sherman. Thank you for doing this lesson for us! This song is easily one of the most recognizable songs ever written. Antonia Carlos Jobim, wow, what an incredible songwriter. You look great in everything you wear Sandra and the orange blouse here is no exception. It accents the colors of Brazil. At least in my mind. Great job!
Hello Sandra. Most importantly, I hope you are well and safe. As I download the tab to tinker with this lovely tune (I'm crazy about the version with Stan Getz and Astud Gilberto) I thank you for another great lesson. I have a request, if you can in the future, a version of Someday My Price Will Come, another one of my favorites. Again, many thanks for all of your lessons. JC.
Thanks JC, I will put that song on my list! Thanks also for your kind words. I'm safe and sound. I stay home and work out guitar tutorials and practice :-)
A very underestimated and unusual song and composition Sandra, and a great lesson as always. The original music is in Db, but the early American transcriptions were in F, so F became the usual key that singers and instrumentalists played and sang the song in. It's also unusual because in a lot of the chords on the guitar, the actual root is not played at all. xx
Hey Sandra, Hi form Darwin Australia, Hope you're doing well over there, Love your playing skills and lessons, Could you do a chord lesson on Donald Fagen's walk between the raindrops?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman It's not a standard - Donald Fagen is the surviving member of Steely Dan. The whole album is wonderful - it's more fusion than straight-ahead jazz. Worth a listen regardless :-)
Hi there Sandra, I already am familiar with your skills and talents especially your way of teaching is amazing so let me tell you something..you're awesome and you lost a lot of weight so i noticed in this lesson
The original version was in Db. F has been the established standard key for the last decades. But of course every singer sings it in their favorite key.
That depends whether you prefer bar chords or not. In jazz we rarely ever play full bar chords 😉. But everyone should play it the way the feel most comfortable.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Danke für die Antwort. Wir können ja deutsch schreiben, fällt mir leichter. Ich komme aus dem Rockbereich und da ich kein großer Fan von Power-Chords bin, bin ich es gewohnt, fast dauernd den Zeigefinger für einen Barre herzunehmen. Summasummarum könnte man sagen, es ist "Geschmacksache". Im Jazz jedoch +üblich, den Barre zu vermeiden.
I think it's important to know the song structure. Of course one could also just learn something by heart, the way a chimpanzee learns how to push the green button when his trainer gives him food. Btw, this video is FREE. You're very welcome 😘
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman , if you can remember when you first started learning guitar how tedious this is, I just feel it's easier to learn something when the instruction flows without long-winded pauses... most of these TH-cam instructors are far worse spend an hour talking about themselves before they ever get to the first chord
This song makes me want to drink out of a coconut with lots of frilly, unnecessary paper umbrellas over the top. Question: Why use the enharmonic spelling between the G flat maj 7 and the F# min 7 in the B section?
I don't know. Maybe Iinstinctly wanted to empathize the difference between the Fmaji on the A section and the Gbmaj7 in the B section. F# would have looked strange, when you just had an F. The F#m7 on the other hand is the II of the II V (F#m7 to B9) in the key of E major, whicj its a sharp key.
Noooooo 😱! Please don't! Try one chord change for a few days. Just 2-4 measures, then go to the next chord change. Take the time to look at how your fingers need to replace with the least movement. Once it's in your head, it's easier for the muscle memory.

I never thought I would be able to play this tune. 17 minutes later I can!!!! The best lesson on I've seen on this tune!!! Danke!!
Hey, did great to hear! My motto for my channel: Jazz is hard enough. Let's make things easier. Glad it worked out 😊
Way to go! Nothing more satisfying than learning a new song.
You make all the hard stuff so easy. Great lesson, Sandra! thx, xoxo
Jazz is hard enough. Let's make things simple 😊
Dear Sandra! Thank you very much for your lesson!!! I't s amasing!!!
Glad you like it! Have a great time with my Bossa Nova tutoarials!
❤️❤️❤️ This and your entire teaching-interpersonal-musical zeitgeist. The saying must be true: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”
I like that saying 😊. Glad you chose me to be a part on your jazz journey.
Wow what an amazing lesson
Glad you enjoyed it
The best lesson of this song on the entire Interwebs.Thank you!
Thanks, fellow BBT fan 😊.
Great lesson by sweet and lovely Sandra!
Keep it up, your hard work is highly appreciated. All of us, your diligent jazz bees love you!
And I love my jazz bees 🧡
Great song for an intro to Jazz tune ------------ and the picking /comping method. Couldn't ask for a better video. Great player & teacher.
Glad you find it helpful!
Decided to work on 'Girl From' and the first place I looked .... Yeah, Sandra covered that and in her typical balance of detail and brevity. Thanks much!
Glad it's helpful for you! Yes, I have 150+ jazz standards uploaded already 😊.
Sandy plays beautifully. First rate instructor.
That is sweet of you, thank you! ❤️

You're wonderful👊💯
❤️❤️❤️
Wow this is simpler. Very nice. A little low for many to sing, but I see nothing but “moveable” chords. I think Astrud sings it in G.
The original version was in Db. F has been the established standard key for the last decades. But of course every singer sings it in their favorite key.
Astrud always sang it slightly off key for the sultry but melancholic dissonance.
thank you
THANKS

What language is this?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Oh~ sorry this is korean
Thanks for your lesson. You are beautiful.
Thank you
Much easier when using barre chords. F7 = barre on first. G13 = barre on third. G7 also. C9 on second and so on.
That depends whether you prefer bar chords or not. In jazz we rarely ever play full bar chords 😉. But everyone should play it the way the feel most comfortable.

When playing the chords do I pluck each individual strings at the same time?
Of course.

Is this the all the progressions for the song? Sorry, I don't know it very well!
Yes, that's the entire song form.
Thanks for the effort you put into these lessons....
I do it for lovely people, like you! ❤️
please, Estate by Bruno Martino...
Difficult song, but amazing
It's worth it. Practice just a chord change a day and you'll get there.
do you know how many guitar versions exist?
No, do you?
❤️💯❤️
Yes, @ 13:52 that chord is known as illegal, LOL!
Haha, but it's approved by the jazz police :-)
Wie geht’s
Gut, danke :-)
You’ve lost a lot of weight. 👍
As im reading this, I'm eating chocolate 😁
You go through all the trouble of telling us how many bars are in the song instead of just teaching the damn song
I think it's important to know the song structure. Of course one could also just learn something by heart, the way a chimpanzee learns how to push the green button when his trainer gives him food.

This song makes me want to drink out of a coconut with lots of frilly, unnecessary paper umbrellas over the top. Question: Why use the enharmonic spelling between the G flat maj 7 and the F# min 7 in the B section?
I don't know. Maybe Iinstinctly wanted to empathize the difference between the Fmaji on the A section and the Gbmaj7 in the B section. F# would have looked strange, when you just had an F. The F#m7 on the other hand is the II of the II V (F#m7 to B9) in the key of E major, whicj its a sharp key.
gonna burn my guitar...
Noooooo 😱! Please don't! Try one chord change for a few days. Just 2-4 measures, then go to the next chord change. Take the time to look at how your fingers need to replace with the least movement. Once it's in your head, it's easier for the muscle memory.
