- Pat Metheny: "What's It All About" (available June 14th)
"People are often surprised to hear that this is one of the first songs I ever learned, but any beginning guitar student knows about the dreaded "F" chord; the first time you are asked to "barre" two strings together with one finger. For me, in that first week of playing the instrument, it was impossible to make my fingers do that. But by leaving the top string open and not doing the barre, you wind up with an F major seventh chord, which somehow I recognized as being the first chord of the tune I had just heard Astrud Gilberto sing with Stan Getz on TV around that time. I actually liked it better than the straight "F" chord anyway!" - Pat Metheny
After nearly 40 recordings under his own name, this is the first Pat Metheny album where there is not a single Metheny composition represented. This is a personal view of ten classic songs, some very well known, some less so, filtered through the harmonic and melodic ideology of a modern master with a most individual approach.

We have heard this song with that upbeat samba sound
but it’s actually a sad song of unrequited love. Metheny’s
rendition is hauntingly beautiful, it’s how one would feel
if we were invisible to the person we love!!!
@Anikawa Nakawanake I know the song in Portuguese and the Spanish and English versions and it makes me immensely happy when I hear it but if closed attention is paid to the lyrics it is about a sad (lonely) man who loves a girl but she doesn’t know he exists "Oh how I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her...". That being said it’s a glorious song!!! Pat Metheny’s version is soulful or even sorrowful but it is masterful.
@Anikawa Nakawanake I have as much right to comment about music as you do. You don’t like it, I get it but I do. We should just respect each other’s taste in music, it is that simple.
I have played GfIP for 35 years. I had to listen to Pat's version twice to realise that He has made wonders with the tune. Absolute master piece
Absolutely!
A masterclass on non traditional chord structures & bass lines.
Superb. Superb on every imaginable level.
The issue is, when certain musicians reach such an incredibly high level of musicianship, they are head and shoulders above the average "musicians", and are not always easily understood.
An arrangement and performance such as this is so far advanced that most will not understand it, and people often criticize and even fear things they do not understand.
No matter. Those of us who do understand are extremely thankful there are Masters like Pat Metheny to take us to that higher level.
I just love Methany’s chord voicing. Unrecognizable as Girl From Ipanema, but hauntingly beautiful.
It's there....if you listen for it.
Just a little reharmonizing. 😁
É dificil compreender como alguém pode ser tão brilhante. Só no primeiro toque do violão já nos leva a uma áurea de paz
Metheny deconstructs and reconstructs the most played brazilian music outside Brazil, crossing paths of the melody, at the same time so distant and so close of it. Walks between tunes by Jobim and himself, defining what is a personal reading of a masterpiece work of a genius by another genius.
And he makes sounds the sound of silence.
Love this version. He plays it his way, true Artist.
August 12: Happy birthday Guitarist Pat Metheny. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, PatMethenyMedia. This rendition is stunning. Blessings
This is a kick to the harmony laws... So fucking amazing...
Almost like free verse compared to rhymes
A girl walking in a rainy day in Ipanema. We can see a cloudy sky and the sad of the waves.
Pat your rendition shatters the original versions. Simply mystical.
The genius of Pat Metheny! Love u!! 🥰😘
Yes. Makes a beautiful sunday morning, even more beautiful. Thanks Pat.
I've been listening to this over and over again. I dropped a lot of tears. Pure beauty. Thanks Pat. No more words!
a kaleidoscope of darker shapes with soft light behind: enduring, melancholy, gorgeously original...
Oh, fuck you

Sensacional Pat! Nós brasileiros gostamos de dissonâncias, e vc a fez com propriedade, essas inversões de baixo ficou maravilhosa.
Wow! His redition of this familiar standard lives inside an amazing alternate harmonic dimension. Kudos to one of the all-time jazz guitar greats!
Superb and absolutely original rendition.
Antonio Carlos Jobim would certainly have enjoyed it.
no !!!!!!!!!!!!
There is wonderful music, and there is marvel. He is the master!
A very introspective version to be sure, but a Pat Metheny mind makes it happen. It worth a second listen!
Melhor versão de Garota de Ipanema que já ouvi... harmonia incrível..
Uma pena que o Pat não vem mais ao Brasil...
Intriguing, dissonant and pensive interpretation of Jobim's classic Bossa Nova, Pop song. Remember this man can do virtually anything with music so give it a few listens before you come to your own conclusion. Yes, it's abstract and "Expressionistic" but I think Metheny pulls this idiosyncratic version off well enough.
Feels like amazing ..... Pat is so creative . Truly amazing sounds he gets from his acoustics Carlos would certainly be pleased
I have heard this song 10, 000 times in the normal setting with the standard changes and beautiful bossa nova feel, hell I've played it that way several thousand times and of course it is beautiful. Hats off to Pat for doing it differently! It is gorgeous realized this way. Lets not forget, Pat performed with Jobim on several occasions. I'm sure Antonio Carlos Jobim would completely approve. For the negative comments, lets see you do better?
Metheny has done here no more than is usually expected in the classical music community, i.e. not merely a stylish arrangement of a tune or piece, but a reworking into something distinctly fresh, the original being only the starting take-off point vs. the goal of keeping the tune recognizable. It is quite beautiful, while comments below confirm what I know anyway; when musicians do this to a popular tune not a lot of fans of the song care 'to go there.'
The classical music community, being largely regurgitative, is usually devoid of such a level of imagination. Such alchemy is beyond the cerebral grasp of most of those dweebs. I would say he is an exception.
+SwordOfLight79 i agree, classical is mainly about people reciting music hundreds of years old. and i like classical but creativity isnt really what its about
+MuseDuCafe Nice to praise Pat, but I have no idea how you can comapre it to classical music community. They don't rework or rearrange things at al, they recite as closely as possible, so not sure where you got that from.
@ MuseDuCafe
You make fair comment. The replies above to the comment reflect an ignorance of the broader classical music community and in particular, arrangers in the contemporary classical music field.
As a classical guitarist I rate Metheny's arrangements very highly and at a similar artistic level as those of Leo Brouwer. However, I don't think that much of Metheny's technical command of the guitar when compared to the standards of modern concert (classical) guitarists. It would be nice to have these arrangements published and to hear them taken up by the classical music community.
i was gifted to a front row seat at the Mt baker theater about 20 years ago , simply beautiful ... as your music.
It sounds like "Requiem for the girl of Ipanema"
Yes, sounds like a Requiem.
The better performance of this music is : th-cam.com/video/quvP_yCXpnE/w-d-xo.html
@@cpereir58 listened to your suggestion of Marina Lima's version, her very pretty vocals and her beautiful guitar work. Thank you!!! Pat Metheny's is something altogether different, obviously it’s a different take of a beautiful song.
@@utiosorio4201 , This version that I have indicated is completely unknown by the Brazilians themselves, who have a rocker in Marina but are unaware of her intimate side. Another universal Brazilian song, Aquarela do Brasil, also has numerous beautiful versions. Here are two very different suggestions and proposals:
th-cam.com/video/20PeoNnBtf4/w-d-xo.html and
th-cam.com/video/YSibnVd5LWk/w-d-xo.html .
The first is from a 1983 LP, Todas as Teclas, Wagner Tiso and Cesar Camargo Mariano performing and the second is from a 1985 LP , Todas as Amizades, only Cesar performing
@@cpereir58 I’ve listened to both, they remind me of NYC in the 80’s, nice trip down memory lane. My favorite version is by João Gilberto. I tell you, in my next life I want to be Brazilian, hahaha!!!
@@utiosorio4201 , where are you from ? NYC? No.. brazilian people suffers too much, it's not a good country to live. Land of confusion ! (reminds me Phill Collins) .
Forever, wonderful!
one of my favourite brazilian song!!!!! revisited as incredible !!! must be listened several times !!! so did I !!!!
Only a true genious can turn an iconic song into another masterpiece....
True. A wonderfully inventive reprise of an already great song. Pat is a genius.
This man is a genius , period
Nothing like Jobim and your performance. Thanks.
Pat Metheny can take whatever liberties he wants when it comes to doing music. He is so ahead of his time; deconstructing Ipanema is gutsy because so many people (jazz lovers) know this tune. But isn't this what makes Metheny great?! It is called being an artist.
he can take whatever liberties he wants........but expect us to like it is other matter............fooling around with music that he does understand the spirit of it!!!! he raped the "girl from ipanema" !!!! his version is called "the girl from hell"
You know what's beautiful about music? That we don't all have to like the same things. I love the original and sing it at every show, that does not mean I cannot appreciate what Pat Metheny has done as an interpretive piece. I have a saying which I apply to cases such as these "you can't argue with taste." While I don't share your opinion in this case, I respect it. Have a great day!
fair.............,, thank you ,,.......wish you good day
I don't see him as "ahead of his time" (which would also imply some kind of pure linear development of music). I see Pat Metheny as a rather conservative and very serious master of his craft. He's simply skilled at what he does - whether composing, doing orchestration, interpreting or improvising. But don't forget there have been many masters, all around the globe (one of them being his friend Lyle Mays).
i agree with SVEN pat is NOT ahead of his time........baut as said and well "rather conservative and very serious master of his craft.....etc
Great stuff ....Just so so creative ... One of my favourite Jobim songs ... Pat you are so great at creating wonder melodies from standards...quite amazing , Thanks for posting

Tall and mad and strange and wobbly
The girl from Ipanema goes wandering
And when she passes each one she passes goes - what?
ekathe85!!!! best comment ROTFLMAO!!!! lovit ^_^ did I say I'm Brazilian? ahaha best part? Jobim would've had good laughs with the comments he was such a good-humored person!
ekathe85 hahaha, I'm on the floor!
Brilliant!
That's funny, you made me smile!
Marvelous elevation ✨✨✨
🙏🙏🙏🎶🎵🎶⭐️❤️
Just beautiful 😍❤️
Good lord. I'm floored.
the sound is just incredible
A classic that has been covered numerous times..., yet Pat somehow manages to find a different "take" on it!
Dark. It's like he's thinking about the girl, the rain beating against the windowpane.
Or sitting on the floor , chewing on your old sock and thonking "what a wonderfull I am".
only Pat can play Ipanema like that! perfect! LOVE IT!
Me encantei com o arranjo! Parabéns.
Beautiful re-harm. Love it.
Superb...!!! 💙💥🙏💞🌺
The deepest...Thank you
Just amazing
What a great Transformation...
A wonderfully innovative version of a great song. The melody is still there, but embellished with magical chord sequences. I'm sure Jobim would have loved it. As for Pat, surely he is every guitarist's favourite guitarist.
Painfully beautiful. Haunting.
Proof that this music is true art: Everyone who has commented either loves it or hates it.
Beautiful music...
Girl from Fukushima
Jan Cermak Yeah, I was thinking Girl from Chernobyl or something like that also. Still awesome.
Lol best comment
lol
Jan Cermak - 😝 okay, that’s good!
hahahaha !
This is harmonically and melodically very advanced interpretation of the song and interestingly reworked to a point so that the original music is obscure- to appreciate, you have to really hang on to the original melody in your mind's ear.
it's so nice to whitness a magicians work - thank you for the music! :-)
Un virtuose avec une qualité rare et belle la sensibilité de l'interprétation
he described truly ipanema
cause ipanema is not only happy upper music.
very artistic and sensitive.i love this
You sir are a legend.
Musical genuis
Qué belleza, Maestro!!!
wtf the end, the last notes!!! simply beautiful
Maestro. Leggenda.
Magnifique , merci
It's a wonderful album, and I look forward to more. Makes me pay closer attention to what I'm playing, and i see I have a lot of depth to explore.
gary w jones

Just LOVE Pat's comment on F and F maj 7.
Armonie bitonali , sovrapposizioni di tonalità , ect....ne fanno un capolavoro. Grande Pat

Guilherme Freitas Ton Jobim....comes from Carlos Antonio Jobim.
Great!!
I love you.
Brilliant!
Love IT!!!!
Bravo
Bravo, indeed.
Ao ouvir esse solo, lembrei de um antigo vizinho aprendendo a tocar violão e tentando tocar essa música. Era de lascar!
This arrangement and performance puts Pat right up there with Ted Greene and Lenny Breau.
Absolutely spectacular. Fresh, original and masterful.
Uma bela releitura da obra original, livre e sem vínculos diretos com a Bossa Nova, apesar de homenageá-la.
O intérprete (Pat Metheney) brinca desenvolto com as cordas, demonstrando grande habilidade e sensibilidade.
As notas saem da alma.
Parabéns.
Wonderfull!!!! Monster!!!!!
Been really enjoying "What's It All About". Metheny is so masterful: innovative, artistic and technical. He sure took a lot tof licence on this one! I only recognized small fragments of the original melody and chords.
Best one heard from the cd to date.
That’s seriously beautiful … almost Derek Bailey meets the Bossa Nova, well certainly with the end harmonics! 👍
So eccentric rendition....
such an amazing rendition! its like to me, i don't know why i get this sense, but its like the original upbeat version of "girl from Ipanema" collided with dark ambient!
Thats an intriguing arrangement, will be pointing some of my students to this version.
Quien compara,critica o menosprecia el Talento ,la Creacion y el Corazon de PAT....SIMPLEMENTE TIENE EL OIDO "CUADRAO" como decimos en mi tierra
Who compares, criticizes or despises the Talent, the Creation and the HEART of Pat...JUST have the ear "CUADRAO" as we say in my country.
Thanks Pat to let me know the new Garota with more Madurez luego de 50 años....
Já assisti dezenas de interpretações de "Garota de Ipanema", e todas têm as suas virtudes. Mas isso aqui é surreal. Outside...
Maravilhoso!
excelent .
Maravillosa......
beautiful :)
Pat, you're a space cadet and I love ya for it
Thank you Andy, (that is my middle name); it was hard to imagine PM in that situation.
Then there are the pianists who play "Girl" in all sorts of strange keys.
Браво \ Bravo
The "Ipalirga from Nema" gets deconstructed, realigned, clarified and transcended by Master Metheny. Simply and ineffably art.
Agreed 100%. This is absolutely masterful.
According to the late great Paul Harvey the grand daughter of the Girl from Ipanena won the annual girl from Ipanema beauty contest about 10 years ago. When the high school let out Jobim couldn’t help but notice a stunning girl walk home he wrote the song around her. It was years later the girl was shocked to discover the song was about her.
It was actually João Gilberto who wrote the song
@@sidharthwarrier9001 no, it was Tom Jobim.
deep feeling
Stalking the Girl From Imanema
This arrangement is kind of apropos when you realize the song is actually about a couple of 30-something guys ogling a 17 year old girl.
