Sorry Apaticita for taking so long! I was on vacation :) Yes you are right about the notes: Step #1) Aminor chord: A, C, E Step #2) Thumb moves to A, G#, G and F# it is the same pattern shown a few seconds later.
Thanks, Its interesting that every person who has posted a critical statement of this video, has no tutorial videos of their own. There is a lot of clearly explained concepts in video. Since its a short lesson, thats what it should be judged upon.
hola Chris during the introduction of this video you play 4 notes : A minor, A# (or Ab), G minor and G# (or Gb), can you please confirm me the 4 notes you play during the introduction. Thanks a lot
Timazumdar, correct about Luis Bonfa correct about brazilian music not incorporating fast montunos. correct about the bass line not being an authentic tumbao. beginners have to start somewhere though. Step one should be to get the notes down and then worry about the authentic rhythms.
right on. instead of knocking this guy you (latinos) should be proud that some white dude is playing your music and trying to teach it. keep it up man. good for you.
1. Instructional videos should be played at a slower tempo to make it easier for students to follow. 2. Not all montunos have to be showy displays of muscle, especially if you're playing a down tempo piece.
Chris. Thank you for a short, clear explanation of what Montuno is. (And nice playing as well.)
The composer is Luis Bonfa (with A.C.Jobim for the film)
For more info about the clave rhythms check out Rebeca Mauleon short introduction called the basics of Latin Music.
Hi Apaticita!
It is in the key of Aminor
(all the white keys)
(or think Cmajor)
I have posted a leadsheet for this song to my fastpianolesson blog.
Hi Wangmyan, look in the sidebar called "more info" on right of this page. I just added a link.

Congratulations! Do you have the sheet music used in this piano arrangement? Could you upload this for us?
Thanks for posting - nice, clear instruction.
awesome lesson, thanx for posting!
The guy playing in this video has the pattern down but now needs the swing and the flavor of the montuno feel which is nonexistent in this video.
Thanks,

Timazumdar,
correct about Luis Bonfa
correct about brazilian music not incorporating fast montunos.
correct about the bass line not being an authentic tumbao.
beginners have to start somewhere though. Step one should be to get the notes down and then worry about the authentic rhythms.
that is great!!!!
This was a good intro. However, you didn't explain what notes you were playing with
the left hand. I could see some it it but not all
right on. instead of knocking this guy you (latinos) should be proud that some white dude is playing your music and trying to teach it. keep it up man. good for you.
wish I can see your hands from the top view..thanks

Cool man btw you look like Ray Liotta! no offence or anything you just remind me of him ha thanks for this vid friend!
Good lesson idea but it is so uncharacteristic for a true pianist to be playing with thumb fingers off the keyboard.
I want to scream....stop...stop...stop....
a tipsy midwest librarian could do a better job.
thats so easely.. I dont understand this video...
its to easely
too bad he doesn't play a real piano---this electronic is substandard.
