man just had a private guitar lesson with Dominic Miller, SO COOL!
And we were spectators so we can too.
And it was really accessible too. Not overly technical and very inspiring...
“What did you do today?”
“Not much - just played some guitar. Had Dominic Miller stop by to show me some bossa nova stuff. Made some bread”
@@BJackson129 He only wanted Dominic round because he kneads the dough...🤭
wow what a great meeting - the music and the exchange and the two guys all so relaxed - thank you!
I love how you put the tabs on the screen
Thanks! Takes a long time to edit it all in, so means a lot :)
@@PaulDavidsit also means alot for me that you put them on screen since i learn so much from those videos, amazing how you make it entertaining en educational
@@PaulDavids great content. Being a Brazilian, there are a lot involved to Bossa Nova, Samba is also there.
Yamandu Costa can bring you to the path of Brazilian guitar...
@PaulDavids As someone who is compiling his own songbook with lyrics and chords and occasionally tabs, I know how much work this is! But it's also worth it! Thank you for all your effort and love you put into these videos! Please keep up the excellent work!
I absolutely second this, I've noticed it in the recent videos and it takes them to next level. Please keep that up Paul it adds so much value for people with limited practice time! All the best mate
As a Brazilian, it is curious but at the same time fascinating to see the enchantment that Bossa Nova causes among foreigners.
We were practically born learning this rhythm. If you increase this same beat to 160bpm, you will be entering SAMBA.
Congratulations on the content Paul. I've learned a lot from you over the last few years!!
To our ears it’s “exotic” (unfamiliar) rhythm and feel. It literally sounds like a calm breeze on a beautiful beach with a drink in hand.
@@humanbeing5300 and lovely lady with other hand
Well, Dominic born in Argentina
Too far @@elserpen
Bossa nova is beautiful. Brazil has invented many beautiful things. Jogo bonito!
The lesson here is that if you make a video about Dominic Miller’s playing, he may show up at your house and give you an amazing music lesson.
I laughed hard at your post ^ I saw the Rick Beato Dominic Interview and they had a good laugh about this situation and here we are...
Bossa nova made jazz style chords and theory a lot more accessible for me. Definitely worth learning
What did you learn it with? UA-cam/class/book?
Yeah, you got it! This is one of the most important ideas behind learning and playing Bossa Nova. Cheers from Brazil!
As a brazilian I must point: this groove is present not only in bossa nova, but in almost everything else in Brazil. It's the "relaxing" approach that gives the correct tone to it, like a warm sunset at the beach, and Dominic nailed the concept. This and the insane chord progressions, of course. 😅
it is relaxing I could listen for hours
As a Canadian, I can play Bossa Nova, and anything else because I'm not in a little box. It's not "your" music... it comes from European music tradition.
@@kwimms what are you even talking about? I didn't say it's "my" music. Nor did I said you cannot play. Are you out of meds?
Very true. When Brazil still played Brazilian football (until about 2002), I used to watch their matches in World Cups with the sound of the TV coverage turned down and Bossa Nova music playing instead. It was a perfect match.
@@kwimms That's what happen when your most famous musicians are jacques villeneuve, Drake and Bieber... you must learn other countries' music. Bossa is classical music and African rhythm, but it was surely born in Brazil. Anyway, not only music but merely everything else in western society came from Europeans. Unnecessary and unfortunate comment at best
Hats off to a "Bossanova haunted" Dominic Miller... the humility in sharing his passion is a breath of fresh air in these times of "in your face" attention seeking music. Thank you Paul for a wonderful presentation.
Dominic was the first non-Brazilian person I've seen to really get Brazilian music. Rhythm and touch is everything. You take a musician like Arthur Menezes playing amazing Rock/Blues and the Brazilian groove comes out even in a completely different genre. Dominic is spot on, including his comment about having to feel it.
Agreed, though Pat Metheny and Lee Ritnour também …oops, also!
@@odrabravo was also about to mention Metheny
Andy summer's
Charlie Byrd?
Paquito D'Rivera
Dominic nailed it. This is how Bossa Nova should be played. Less is More.
Hey Paul, let me tell some things based on the video.
As a Brazilian born and raised during the 90's, I started my musical journey listening to Rock Bands such as Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns and Roses and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, but then one day I realised that if I wanna be a serious musician, I needed to know about Brazilian Music, and so I asked myself about how strange is to symple have almost no idea about the music from my homeland. I started my trip into Brazilian Music through a famous record called Clube Da Esquina (1972), that I really suggest you give a listen to, and then I started learning about Bossa Nova. Nowadays for me the Blues and Bossa Nova are the best "schools" for begginers on the guitar. You know, it's quite hard to start on guitar learning something like Yngwie Malsmteen songs, but there are things that are easier to play technically, but are very interesting too, so the Blues helped me to start a sense of improvisation, and Bossa Nova helped me to create a more intimate relationship with the guitar. With Bossa Nova I worked a lot with harmony, improvisation on an more advanced level (playing through changes, using lots of different scales), rhythm, and also the songs feels better to play even without a band, so this makes you get more confident about your playing. Imagine yourself trying to play For The Love of God on an acoustic guitar (without an amp, an distortion, you got it), while you're hangin' with your friends anywhere... this may not work well, so it's cool to have an alternative that may be usefull anytime. Don't forget, Bossa Nova is extremely romantic and this can be a great idea to play some Bossa to your loved one. I was an extremely angry guy and Bossa Nova helped me cool down, it's trully relaxing.
I'll left here some suggestions for you guys to take a listen to these players: Toninho Horta (my all time favourite guitar player, completely blew my mind even more than Hendrix and anyone you can name), Dori Caimmy, Romero Lubambo, Juarez Moreira, Lula Galvão, Marcos Valle, João Bosco, just to name a few.
Check out on my channel a video I recorded of Toninho Horta playing one of his wonderful songs, Waiting For Angela, in a Bossa style that I recorded years ago. After he turned my greatest hero, I had the luck of becoming a close friend of him. Life is great! I loved your video and also your channel. Cheers from Belo Horizonte!
Mandô bem!
That second song on that album sure had that trance like vibe to it. But after listening to the whole album it does have a relaxing effect on me. That fifth song where the guitar starts off solo had a weird out of tune vibe to it but again, due to the trance like nature to all these songs, it is still relaxing in the end.
Great comment. Hello from a Scottish guitarist.🤠🤟🏴🎸
Representou, papai!
I love how Dominic, during any of the live-jam test runs scattered throughout, is watching Paul's face intently as he plays. He's immediately trying to connect with the emotion and presence of the other musician, even for a soft Bossa Nova jam sesh. Smiling when he sees how much fun the other person is having with it. Music is so valuable.
Astute observation.
My old friend Levi loved bossa nova. He played side flute and anytime I’d play some basic bossa nova chords he’d soar with that. RIP Levi. Bossa nova is timeless.
Great tip not being shy about playing single notes while the chords are held back. Makes life a lot easier. Otherwise one would ruin one's hands trying to do the impossible.
What a generous man Dominic Miller is to share his knowledge so easily and in such a humble way! Respect!
That jam switch at 6:10 and Dominic saying "That's great" has to feel like a dream haha, amazing video
Some guy on the internet + Dominic Miller = magic. Wonderful collaboration. Big thumbs-up.
to be fair, Paul Davids is not just "some guy on the internet". Objectively.
edit: it seems I missed the reference here....
@@stulora3172 I think that was the term used by Dominic during the Rick Beato interview which started the ball rolling.
Dominic Miller? Is that the guy who plays it live?
Hey did'nt you know... that's Paul's AKA...🤣
I'm glad Dominic has displayed some humility, though... bygones n'all that... 😎
Amazing content. I’m Brazilian. And I remember learning guitar and wanting to play Tom Jobim and Toquinho, the complexity is crazy. But once you get it it’s no coming back. It’s a beautiful sound. The Brazilian guitarist always have that little pinch, that little flavor on their playing that resembles bossa nova a little, kiko Loureiro took a lot of his riffs base on his knowledge of Brazilian music. Great content Paul!
Será que o Dominic bebeu na fonte do Baden? O cara matava a pau. E se ele ouvir o Helio Delmiro...
@@GuilhermeSilva-rp2itProvavelmente não. Baden é outro nível de dinâmica, ele não é flat como no geral Bossa nova é, Baden trabalha a dinâmica transformando o violão quase num instrumento de percussão, o que lembra o berimbau.
I agree with you; their music was complex. Did you know that half of these songs were created in a bar in Rio de Janeiro, where Tom Jobim e Toquinho e Vinicius de Morais, then we added Baden Powell, Sergio Mendes, Roberto Menescau, Gal Costa, Elis Regina, Nana Caymen, Wednesday they used to go to this place near Leblon, were half of Tom's composition were discussed, arranged, organized in a bar's table, some of the songs were written in a piece of napkin. Here is what: these guys were super smart to be able to do the most beautiful things while drinking, talking, and eating at a bar. We can not forget the Old Caime and many other musicals were definitely the pillars of the Bossa Nova movement in the sixties. Bossa Nova was a movement that led to the creation of beautiful tunes and interpretations. Around this time, we were leaving a civil revolution movement in Brazil, but the artists of the time were highly creative. War and civil revolution bring creativity into the creation of beautiful harmonies. Roberto Menescau, before he became the Brazilian Sony Art/Music Director, used to make beautiful songs. Roberto Menescau created beautiful songs for Tom, Vinicius, Gal Gosta, and many other artists.
That jam around the 6:00 minute mark was so beautiful and soothing. Like a walk at the beach or something. Great video. Thanks to both of you.
Wow priceless! A virtuoso collaborating and sharing his gift with Paul who's one of the best on UA-cam, seeing this has made my day.
Paul’s beard is the 8th wonder of the world.
Lmao😂
Could use a trim by now..
It’s a guitar string dispenser.
Thiicccc
Thank you, Paul and Dominic for capturing this moment and allowing us to sit in on this beautiful conversation between the two of you. My father was a well-trained guitarist and introduced me to the guitar at very young age. He no longer played professionally, but whenever he pulled out his acoustic he loved to play these same chords. He has since passed, but playing the guitar is one of the ways I still connect with him. This video did so even more. Much appreciated.
🙏
Such a privilage, being able to sit in on this musical conversation. The respect and admiration Paul and Dominic have for each is readily apparent. What a joy, thank you both for sharing.
I never comment but had to because there’s a connection in this video. You each provided a new perspective to each other and it didn’t go unnoticed either direction. I need more of this format! Just talking and playing guitar
Man… playing bossa nova in a a steel string guitar feels so wrong 😂 anyway, as a Brazilian, all I can say is that Dominic was spot on this beautiful music feeling and rhythmic patterns.
Thank you Paul for this amazing video❤
Much love !
2 Pros having fun, and talking shop. I love this. One of the best I've seen
We learn so much from videos like this. So much better than the usual web lessons that are sooo slooow and show you how to finger a standard c chord string by string and finger by finger. They’re made for beginners. It’s great that people want to learn but there’s too much confusion out there for beginners. Sometimes it can confuse me when I listen to the instructor explain all the string numbers and which finger on which fret. then I turn it off. This kind of lesson is great if you know how to play and want to learn new techniques. We need more of this kind of teaching.
I'm so glad Dominic gets interviewed by big channels like you and Rick. I was trying to learn his songs some years ago and I had to watch him play them or some homemade video he made while on tour. Also, more people will know about him this way!
Dominic Miller is so relaxed as he conveys the complicated stuff.
Transmits to the 'student' so well.
i've seen Sting live a few times, seeing him this June, I always get to the front and dominic always gives me a nod, what an amazingly kind gent and underappreciated guitarist. he is the secret suace that meet Sting's amazing song writing.
Really appreciate all the effort gone in to include the tabs, makes us learning and playing along happy
What a video. I saw Dominic play in Prague a few years ago (having shamefully never heard of him at the time) and was mesmerised. Chatted to him at the bar afterwards and he was so gracious and humble. Love his attitude to playing.
6:43 Pauls face smiling all over ... getting praise by Sting's right hand :) fantastic
Paul, you have one of the best channels on UA-cam period. This was awesome. Thank you gentleman!
Getz/Gilberto - Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars) is one of the songs I heard when learning that's encouraged me to play for 10000+ hours. 6th's and 7th's and the way they resolve is beautiful.
Jao Gilberto is my favourite.... there's wonderful footage on UA-cam of Tom Jobim on piano and Gilberto on guitar and singing Desafinado and Ipanema... and they're both really enjoying it.
So damn lucky to have Dominic Miller teaching some guitar tips !
Thank you for the good tabs Paul !
"All music has a sort of trance" completely agree. When the song finishes and I feel like I snapped back into reality that's a piece of music
The harmony of Bossa Nova is tremendous. So beautiful. I wish old Salsa Brava, Los Hermanos Lebron, Hector Lavoe, Joe Arroyo and Rueben Blades would get this guitar treatment, too.
Paul... Thank you so much for having Dominic in studio for this Bossa Nova master class crash course, really FANTASTIC!!!
What a joy to watch these two fine gentlemen walk you through how to pick up on a new style and learn a new song. Just pure joy to hear them play music together! I’ll pick up my guitar and work the cords and try to play along.
I am so jealous. Dominic Miller seems like such a cool guy, just a musician's musician who loves spending time playing music and figuring out how to make it more awesome.
Good for you, Paul, if I ever found myself in a situation where Dominic Miller is looking over at me and expecting me to rip off an improv line over the chords he's comping, I would definitely fail in epic fashion. But you nailed it and the two of you together came up with something fun and interesting to listen to. Well done, and thanks to you both for letting someone like me just be the fly on the wall as this conversation takes place.
Paul, that was the best video yet. I was smiling the entire way through.
Thanks for that video Paul. I loved that very natural and cozy exchange, you can tell Dominic is such a supportive and humble guy, despite his great career.There's a great deal to learn here, not just about music, but also about how rewarding being a good person can be in life
Totally inspiring! And of course wonderful to see you two together!
Dominic, definitely one of the most sympathic persons on this planet. what a guitar lesson.
Seduction is the word. As a kid when all my contemporaries were playing rock, I was playing The Girl From Ipanema. I could listen to Dom play all day.
I'm a nubie at 75; and wanted to know a little bit of jazz chords. This video is the perfect starting point, for my musical journey, via Bosa Nova. Thanks Paul, AND Dominic.
Paul, thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos (especially tabs).
Your content is rich, and you continue to enhance it with top tier editing and production, keep doing what you do!
This was really fun. Thank you and Dominic so much!
Wow... just a fantastic interchange and such a generous offering! Thank you both!
Thank you, Paul! That was awesome!
So much wisdom in this simple lesson. And boy does Dominics guitar resonate. Wow!
Amazing Paul. Thank you for your Videos! ❤
Absolutely amazing. Years ago I watched one of your videos about inversions that turned out to expand my musical horizons tremendously, and I've got similar feeling from this one. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Paul and Dominic !
Wow -just beautiful
I love this new format! You are an excellent interviewer, Paul!
dude i love how much your channel has grown over the years...this is really great stuff
Dominic is one cool dude! Gracious and humble man... Awesome now I am going to learn Bosa Nova guitar! Sweet
It's so cool to see people getting to know those brazilian flavours. I'm from brazil, and at my house things like bossa nova, MPB and samba where always playing here and there, so it's kinda intuitive following those rhytms and chord shapes when i'm playing something. Was so surprising to se Paul struggling (just a bit) to get the ideia of it and going at it. This made me realize that that's how learning music is... it's a feeling that you get by your references, and it's probably what happens with the musicians in all cultures around the globe. Great content as always, much lov.
Wow! Dominic was so generous with his time and down-to-earth. Thanks to both of you for this beautiful lesson in bossa nova. It gives me something new to learn.
Outstanding masterclass. Thanks, Dominic and Paul.
This was awesome. Going to watch Dominic this Friday. Cannot wait.
It’s amazing how the Bossa Nova still resonates around the world. It’s beautiful on it’s own foundation from other Brazilian music influences. But it’s so hard to play, very tricky and challenging. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Hey, another Brazilian here! Thanks for the content Paul, learned a lot with you for years now! Very cool to see different perspectives regarding music from ours. One thing that caught my attention was the steel strings you two used. When playing around with Bossa, try using nylon strings, I think It sounds even more chilled and authentic!
This is an amazing video, thanks Paul and Dominic for making this!!
Beautiful, and such a refreshing change from the pentatonic. Thank you
When samba meets jazz. So proud and lucky to have been born surrounded by this type of music
All in all this has got to be one of the best videos on the internet. Thank you for your contribution to the world, man. Freaking great!
Finally!
I hoped for so long to see my fav guitar youtuber and my fav guitarist together!🔥🔥🔥
What a wonderful video. I always enjoy everything you do Paul. Thanks so much for sharing this. Dominic has been a favorite of mine for many many years. So great to see you two connecting in such a wonderful way. You’re both very inspiring. I will definitely be working on this over the next several days.
Every time I see Dominic I am more impressed, thank you Paul!
Not only is this a great lesson and introduction to Bossa Nova, but well timed too. Only last Tuesday did I look for an introduction to add this flavour to my own playing. I will have this video on repeat through out the week. Thank you Paul and Dominic.
So awesome that you put the tabs and music and make this truly not just an experience to listen to but also an experience to learn!
This is fantastic! Dominic Miller is the BEST!!! So Humble!
Loved this and appreciate the "chill" that Dominic puts into his groove. Thank you!
This is tremendous. Dominic does such a great job of breaking this down.
In addition to their superb guitar skills, both these guys are follicly blessed.
So thankful that your earlier video about “the guy that plays guitar for Sting” and him not playing it right live has led to this session today! Great content!
Great episode, and a free lesson from Dominic Miller! Keep up the good work mr. Davids!
I appreciate this channel so much. Thank you for this. I’ve loved Bossa Nova ever since I heard “The Girl From Ipanema”.
love love LOVE this! More bossa nova and more Dominic!
Wonderful. Warm, simple, soft and hospitably. I felt that vibe, like we're sitting in one room jamming with our guitars.
Loved this two guys. What an amazing lesson. Thank you Dom and Paul
It's cool to see how when playing bossa nova people start to move lightly and smile. hugs from Brazil
So awesome. Good for you. This is fun. Can’t wait to sit with you two with my guitar in hand. Thank you. And thank you for the chord charts.
It's just amazing the beautiful sounds that can be produced with such simple chord shapes and yes rhythm and touch are all important. Thanks to Paul and Dominic for a great lesson.
What an unexpected and pleasant guitar lesson to wake up to. Thank you so much, gentlemen. As someone else mentioned, kudos on the tab. Very helpful.
Perfect. A masterclass in Bossa Nova from two of my favourite players. Thanks, Boys!
Dominic and Paul, thank you for such an insightful lesson and discussion about the beauty of the Bossa Nova on the guitar. The jazz chords are fascinating while the rhythm is almost hypnotic.
Absolutely fantastic!!! Throughly enjoyed this to no end. So mysterious, and fun, with great feel. Thank you. 🤘🎸🤘
What a legend
Dominic Miller is such a gentleman ! And Paul is a natural born teacher ! Bravo to you guys, please make some more !!!!
I agree, playing Bossa Nova in the guitar is one of the top experiences a popular musician can enjoy.
Thanks for the tabs
Legend!
Paul, you really know how to give the man a stage, pleasure to watch!
Great work! Thank You.
Wow this was one of the very best and most interesting guitar lesson I ever watched! Just amazing! Thanks so much!
Some months after he refered to Paul as "Some guy on the internet" 🤭
Paul referred to him first as “the guy who plays it live” when talking about Shape of my Heart
That’s how Dominic retold it to Rick Beato, but I think he actually said, “when he (the original guitar player) plays it live”, which is a bit better. He did however omit that Dom actually wrote the riff
😂 it's all friendly tho
Brazilians & the world have to thanks Antonio Carlos Jobim (also known as Tom Jobim) & Joao Gilberto for the creation/invention of Bossa Nova music. When I was at university in the early 1960’s my friends & I listened to Bossa Nova music. It’s very relaxing music. At that time songs like Girl from Ipanema, Desafinado, Corcovado, Manha de Carnaval etc were very popular. Thank you Brazil for Bossa Nova music. God bless Brazil & the Brazilians Best wishes from Australia
One of the best PD's videos! Amazing! More Bossa Nova pls
What a great video. Been smiling for minutes! Thank you both for putting this out.
Magnífico ver como nossa Bossa Nova é bem vista fora do Brasil, ótimo vídeo Paul!
