@@joaobabler1584 also - to both of you - choro as well, (about which I'm guessing @jaobabler 1584 knows more than I do) which can involve small guitars as well (I forget what the proper brazilian / portuguese name for them is) and commonly a mandolin (with a brasilian name too - mandolo or something - it's late and I should be in bed so I won't bother checking it) - Douglas Lora, who is a classical guitarist as well, plays in a trio with dudu maia (mandolin) and his brother (tambourine) called Trio Brasiliero, as well as a classical duo called Brasil Guitar duo with Joao Luiz. Other choro ensembles abound with differing instrumentations - just input choro to get all of them; it's insidious to mention names - they all are good, but I would just mention Choro das tres and Roda de Choro (who had a rather sought after 7 string guitarist (& may still do if he's still standing). There's a harmonica player who plays in an ensemble called Natanel Pereira: input Vibracoes and you will discover also the name of another pereira (a guitarist) and the name of the composer - Jacob Do Bandolim who was a gutarist and wrote a number of pieces beloved of choro players. This is something I have learnt about in the last year or two, and am constantly drawn back to - despite having both a classical, theatre music, jazz and other music background - the result of a checkered career, no doubt. For an. older band there's also Izaias e sos choroes - there's lots of beautiful brazilian music and artists waiting to be discovered - and yt has it all. Oh and by the way Yamandu costa can be found playing a sort of Latin Jazz fusion somewhere on yt as well with a mad guitarist and band.
@@robertdavidson8028 Mandolin is Bandolim, like Jacó do Bandolim (Jacob of the Mandolin - or - Jacob the Mandolin man) kind of. The little guitar is Cavaquinho (Ká Vá Ki Ño) kind of
What an honor to have my suggestion accepted by you, dear Sir🙌thank you sooo much!!!🤗It was delightful watching your beautiful reaction and great comments on this important piece of Brazilian culture and I’m very happy that you also appreciated it! As you mentioned very well, this Yamandu's composition was created in homage to Raphael Rabello (considered one of all-time best brazilian classical guitarists), where he took inspiration from the tricky ways ‘Rapha’ used to play our regional rhythms (especially the variations of Brazilian rhythms that we put under the umbrella generally called ‘samba’). Yamandu Costa & his magical 7-string guitar represent a massive pillar supporting the musical local traditions not only in Brazil but in the whole South America (he also plays very well several traditional rhythms from our lovely Latin-American neighbors). Once again, I thank you very much for giving space on your amazing channel to our talented Brazilian artists - you’re also outstanding and admirable❣
@@SirHairless I'm super happy that you like it that much :) If you want to explore some more of the instrumental music from Brazil related to the origens and derivations of 'samba' (there are several different genres and subgenres in this universe), I'd suggest you to check - either by yourself or as a future reaction - the genre called "Choro" (= "cry" or "lament")/"Chorinho" (= "little cry"). Despite its name, this type of music usually has a fast and happy rhythm, similarly to what you experienced with "Samba pro Rapha". The song "Choro loco" by Yamandu Costa is a good example of this genre, and "Tico-Tico no Fubá" by Zequinha de Abreu is probably the most famous choro song ever composed, which was immortalized by the iconic Carmen Miranda. So, I'll also suggest the amazing video "Tico Tico no Fubá - Duo Siqueira Lima - 4 Hands"; I hope you'll enjoy it!😊
not that old, many musical styles that people think as old are about the same age as rock n roll. calling it old then what word is left for classical music or even older music. never overuse words specially when they are not needed.
@@senhorokami Choro was born around 1870 as a mixture of Portuguese and African genres such as modinha and lundu and European ballroom dances quite popular in Rio de Janeiro at that time (polka, quadrille, mazurka and waltz). Rock´n´roll was born in the 1950´s, about 80 years later
That piece was written in order to honour one of the greatest classical guitarists that our beloved Brazil gave to the world, who passed away way before the expected: Raphael Rabello. That's why it's called Samba pro Rapha and it also explains the intensity of passion and virtuosity in this composition. Yamandu is a monster, just ridiculously great, Rapha was as well, praised by the greatests of his generation. Beautiful homage. RIP Rapha, he surely dropped some tears in heaven listening to it. Thank you.
Dude, the bright in your eyes is more than enough and proves that music doesn't know language, time or borders. It's just passion. Pure passion. Cheers from Brazil.
Sir Hairless is a classical pianist who knows how to analyze talents, I already knew some of Yamandu Costa's work for decades, this guy is a genius, he must be producing guitar solos in Hollywood for songs in films, series, shows and documentaries, the guy and the genius of the acoustic guitar, he performs martial miracles that no skip or classical music school will teach. Green guitar genius and forever, Brazilians may be proud of this musical jewel. Cheers ❤🍷🥂
Sir Hairless thanks for affection with me, I wanna do some corrections: Thank you for your kindness my friend, my spell checker made a mistake, it was musical miracles and not musical miracles, and green guitar is a musical slang used in America to designate a guitar that is aesthetically beautiful and full of technological resources to improve the effect and performance of the music, whether acoustic be electrical.
@@leonardomoraes5682 Thanks for understand me my writeboard failed and I came back to clarify more what I said above. 🙏👍 My bros for acceptation with me 🥂🥂🥂 Cheers.
Cara, se vc ficou emocionado ao ouvir a música do Yamandu imagina se ouvisse ele tocar na sua frente?? É uma experiência gratificante, inebriante e inexplicável. Senti um mix de emoções a primeira vez que o vi tocar pessoalmente. Recomendo!!
Yes, you're absolutely right! the 7th string (usually tuned to B1 or C2, depending on the arrangement) is the extra string on a 7 string guitar. It's very popular in brazilian music, specially choro and samba. Yamandu is a legend, cheers from Brazil!
In addition to being a genius, the way Yamandu immerses himself in the music, how he feels it, is really beautiful. He sways, dances, closes his eyes, smiles, makes faces. The guy is completely into the music. I think that's very touching.
Que orgulho termos Yamandu. É tanta paixão que ele e o violão se fundem. Isso é uma loucura!!! Muito obrigada por sua reação técnica. Como sempre carregada de emoção. Um abraço aqui das terras de Yamandu, Brasil 🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶
Samba pro Rapha is samba in hommage to an violonist called Raphael Rabello, who sadly passed away early and was an inspiration for Yamandu. He is such an iconic violonist as well. Long live Yamandu!
Yamandu Costa, é um dos melhores violinistas do Brasil já faz alguns anos. Eu perderia aqui muitos caracteres para contar a sua história e de nós brasileiros, mas não será possível. Aqui no Brasil existem grandes nomes da música, não só no violão, mas em todos os instrumentos musicais que também podem te emocionar, como Yamandu te fez chorar nesse vídeo. Um Abraço aqui do Brasil. Do Rio de Janeiro.
Raphael was a good friend ahd was part of our crew of friends. Saturday evening no tel calls or planning what to do, we would go to a friend house in São Conrado invited some friends and girls to party. The best was when the music stop Rapha would sit in the middle of the big room, pick his guitar together with other friend and the show was on. Yamandu plays a lot like him, Start like a Samba goes to Jazz and Bossa nova and turn on a chorinho and for fun a rock riff. Die young RIP Brow. Them we would play Little wing from Jimi , Song of the wind Santana was a privilege
Tive a oportunidade de conhecer o Raphael no inicio dos anos 90 (a irma dele era vizinha da minha namorada na epoca) e ele era um cara muito legal. Nao encontrei com ele mais do que 3 ou 4 vezes, e sempre na casa dessa minha namorada, mas eu, que era roqueiraco na epoca, ficava de queixo aberto com a beleza dos arranjos e com a sensibilidade dele. Um grande abraco!!
Without Rabello there would be no Yamandu the way he is.... Rabello has synthesized Brazilian choro with flamenco techniques and jazz. He was groundbreaking performer and later decent composer
I love how you honor all of your fans' requests no matter how popular a song or video may or may not be. Being a fan of yours opens us all up to new genres and artists. Thank you
Muito bom ver os Britânicos fazendo análise da música do Nosso Mestre Yamandu Costa. Isso é Motivo de Orgulho para nós brasileiros... Sucesso ao Mestre Yamandu e sucesso ao SIR Hairless, parabéns...!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's fantastic! To have those skills! To have the discipline to attain those skills! I don't think I've ever seen anyone so enamored of music, and open to all the different genres of music out there. I appreciate that openness. I can be closed minded to different genres and stick to only my favorites. Your attitude helps me be more open to so much more, and I have loved a lot of it. I thank you for that. Excellent reaction!
Thanks so much! And yes, there's a whole world of music out there and a lot of it we only discover through chance! Some we'll like; others we won't - but always worth giving everything a go!
Yamandu is definitely in a league of his own.... He is just amazing.... And you see him playing with other people and it's just mind-blowing how easy it _looks_ like..... A virtuoso in the flesh.
Thanks for reacting to Yamandu. He is a brazilian gem. Very talented since young age. He has a very consistent international career. Maybe you can watch him live. You will be amazed. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Hugs
Samba Pro Rapha is probably the most insane guitar arrangement I've ever heard. I'm particularly impressed by how he can slide up a string and still play every single note perfectly. That is unbelievably difficult to get right, especially at that speed. And he's not even really looking at the fret board.
It is strange for fans to say this, but its when Yamandu is playing slow songs that I get impressed the most... amazing guitar player, and for non Brazilians is a great introduction to the structure of our (good) music: samba, choro, milonga, Baião...
Yamandu é insano, absurdo mesmo!! Eu vi e ouvi pessoalmente há muito tempo! Imagina assisti-lo em 2024 de novo, que sonho! Vou tentar! Thanks for the reaction ❤
Seeing him play live is even better, I went to his show in 2002 when I was about 15 years old here in Brazil. One of the best shows I've ever been to in my life.
I'm honestly quite sure Yamandu is not human. And if I'm wrong and he is, he's not alone while playing the guitar. He's made a deal with some sort of musical entity or with the devil himself. That's the right lad, doing the right thing, the right way at the right time. Truly amazing.
Yamandu reuniu TUDO de bom da música erudita, gaúcha, sulamericana, violão brasileiro e criou um estilo ÚNICO e uma genial capacidade de interpretação, uma capacidade incrível de compor e tocar coisas impossíveis pra grande maioria
I love how these greatest guitar players play with the eyes closed... just enjoying their songs... it's so easy to them that they can enjoy what they are playing like if they were just listeners relaxing.
Sir Hairless, I'm very grateful for you watching the genius called Yamandu Costa. It makes Brazilians proud who love good music and guitar skills. How can we say... he's from another planet. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I saw your emotion when watching this great genius Yamadu. Hugs from here in Rio de Janeiro.
Sir Hairless, seus olhos enchem de lágrimas, assim como os meus, quando assisto o Yamandu tocar. O cara faz tudo de olho fechado... Ele deve ser de outro mundo!
7-string guitar are a common sight in Brazilian music. In particular, it established its foothold back in the days of Choro (also called Chorinho), a style of music born in early 20th century Rio. It is its own thing, but you can think of it as a combination of the rich Bantu musical ideas the slave population popularized, with European dance music like Waltz, and Polka - which later heavily influenced forró, samba, and bossa nova. Choro was usually played in quartet, there was little room for dedicated bassists, so that's why 7-strings were so popular. Choro's influences are everywhere, and it became a kind of folk music, Many bars in Rio have a day of the week when regulars come to play and people stay around listening.
From hundreds of reactions I'v been watching in youtube about Yamandu Costa talent, this was the shorter and yet the only one that in fact gives total credit to this extraordinay musician, that is now living in my Portugal country. Thank for your explanation.
Sir, se ouvir o repertório dele, ficará louco. Eu amo o jeito dele tocar. Faz show na Europa constantemente. Divirta-se com essas mãos ágeis e cheias de talento. Abracos do Brasil.
Maravilhoso ter sua análise e reação, cobertas de verdadeira admiração, dessa obra prima brasileira, formada por essa dupla incrível - artista e musica. Abraços carinhosos do Brasil 😘😘😘❤️🇧🇷
That was incredible! My father introduced us at a young age to Segovia. This video brought back happy warm, musical memories of my dad. Your reactions add a deeper level to what is being seen and heard in the music! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you very much for reacting to Yamandu. I already had the opportunity to watch one of his shows and it was captivating and mesmerizing. He is a source of pride for us Brazilians. Congratulations on your channel. I love your videos 🇧🇷❤
Penso que a sequência cromática seja uma referência à “Aquarela do Brasil” (Ary Barroso), como se estivesse reafirmando que o “Rafa” (homenageado nessa música) é brasileiro. Fiquei emocionado com a sua reação! Ótimo vídeo! Obrigado!
Soberba reação! Grato por encontrar este canal! Pra mim, mais do que as notas e os tempos impossíveis que Yamandu toca, é o lugar que ele consegue acessar dentro do nosso universo de emoções que mais me impressiona.
Wow, not being a musician this analysis is amazing. I had never noticed the bass notes as you explained. Great job and would be awesome if you reacted to other songs by him or other instrumental music like game OSTs!
Yamandu is an universal treasure, glad to see him more and more breaking the brazilian bubble and reaching out others countries. Brazilian music is really special and yamandu is helping to keep it alive. Great reaction btw. Cheers!
This is a great review and break down of Mr. Costa's music. I loved your commentary it was informative and humorous at times. Enjoyed myself Bravo!!! 👏 👏👏👏
Hello Sir, could you react to "chico buarque - construção"? There is a version with english subtitles on youtube. This song is a masterpiece, from the unbelievable good lyric to the orchestration, and how everything fit perfectly together.
This was fantastic! I enjoyed that. I could see by your face the compexity of his artful display. I'm so into your channel! So much to see and hear and I had no Idea! Thank you!
I loved your reaction to Yamandu and I instantly subscribed to your channel. You're a very good music professor and I hope you can analyze more brazilian songs and artists. Thank you and hugs from Brazil!
Reminds me of Raphael Rabello. If I am not mistaken , Yamandu was one of his great admirers. I watched Yamandu play guitar when he was in his 20’s. Amazing. Only gets better. Thank you .🇧🇷❤️
"Choro" or "Chorinho" is a Brazilian music genre that is a merge of many other genres. Samba, Classic, Polka, Waltz, and many others. It has an specific combination of instruments, and the 7 string guitar is one of them, and one of the most core ones. That being said, the most virtuoso guitar players of Brazil are known to play the 7 string guitar, and their style is of course heavily influenced by the "Choro" genre.
react - Visita Boa: Yamandu Costa e Elodie Bouny - La Catedral (Allegro Solemne). Elodie Bouny is wife Yamandu Costa. Two guitar geniuses, but from different schools
Amigo, não por eu ser brasileiro ou por ele ser, mas, não querendo menosprezar ninguém, o Yamandu Costa, se não for o melhor violeiro do mundo, com certeza está entre os 3 melhores, ele é um gênio, ama o que faz e é tudo o que sabe fazer, dedica a maior parte do seu tempo à música, e, sempre parece estar bêbado, mas não, ele simplesmente se entrega totalmente à música e esquece o mundo ao redor, aliás, esquece de si mesmo, incorpora a música, passa a fazer parte dela. Temos muitos outros bons violeiros, mas, com certeza nenhum se iguala ao Yamandu. Um abraço.
I watched him playing in a really intimate "show", for around 30 people, after a mind blowing show on the "Rio das Ostras Jazz Festival". overwhelming experience. it was heart warming to see our reaction.
Best reaction I have watched. You enriched your analysis with some technical information that the non music educated people like me wouldn't grasp. Thank you!
Yes, this is a seven string guitar.... the lower one is tuned in B tipically when you have the other 6 in standard tuning... this king of guitar is often used in Brazil for Samba and Choro styles... Have a look in Choro... you are gonna like!! Yamandu is a talent and a live icon of brazilian culture!!
C'mon dude! You have very keen ears and are an excellent music technician professional! This react was amazing! Thank you a lot! Love from Brazil! Yamandu is a huge guitar monster!
You gotta listen to this song mate, Cartola - Preciso me Encontrar, this is on the original soundtrack for city of god and it is just a musical masterpiece, the oboe, the guitar, omg it gives me the chills (in a good way) every single time.
I am not familiar with guitar as much, but LOVE this instrument! Beautiful! What an amazing musician. I lived in Chile, growing up, so love guitar, and Latin music. Thank you for your expert discussion of this wonderful instrument. I always learn so much from your reactions! The music is beautiful, but you also make the entire experience beautiful as well! Thank you!❤

Yamandu is playing a "choro", an old Brazilian music style, quite popular in the beginning of the last century
It's even more popular nowadays since there's a lot of choro scools all over Brazil (clubes de choro) with tons of young musicians playing it.

Thanks for the comment!
Wow! What a treat!
From hundreds of reactions I'v been watching in youtube about Yamandu Costa talent, this was the shorter and yet the only one that in fact gives total credit to this extraordinay musician, that is now living in my Portugal country.
Thank for your explanation.
🙌🙌
I don't evwn have the brain tools to comprehend what I am listening. But I can feel the passion behind the skills.Top notch quality music.
Sir, se ouvir o repertório dele, ficará louco. Eu amo o jeito dele tocar. Faz show na Europa constantemente. Divirta-se com essas mãos ágeis e cheias de talento. Abracos do Brasil.
Maravilhoso ter sua análise e reação, cobertas de verdadeira admiração, dessa obra prima brasileira, formada por essa dupla incrível - artista e musica. Abraços carinhosos do Brasil 😘😘😘❤️🇧🇷
Muito orgulho de ter esse maravilhoso violonista como um brasileiro! Todo reconhecimento que ele recebe é pouco! Um gênio! s2
WONDERFUL reaction to this GORGEOUS piece of music by such a gifted guitarist! WOW! Thank you!
That was incredible! My father introduced us at a young age to Segovia. This video brought back happy warm, musical memories of my dad. Your reactions add a deeper level to what is being seen and heard in the music! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you!
When music makes you tear up, it is such a good sign
Thank you very much for reacting to Yamandu. I already had the opportunity to watch one of his shows and it was captivating and mesmerizing. He is a source of pride for us Brazilians. Congratulations on your channel. I love your videos 🇧🇷❤
Wow, I'm jealous! Thanks so much 🙌
Ele é um calmante para os ouvidos lindo demais, isso é um 😊🇧🇷👏👏👏 sonho.
Penso que a sequência cromática seja uma referência à “Aquarela do Brasil” (Ary Barroso), como se estivesse reafirmando que o “Rafa” (homenageado nessa música) é brasileiro. Fiquei emocionado com a sua reação! Ótimo vídeo! Obrigado!
He is Amazing ❤
Thanks
Yamandu é extraterrestre.
Yamandu é único. Abraços do Brasil.
As Yamandu always says: Viva a música!
eu sei como é Sir Hairless, eu também choro ouvindo Yamandu! hehe
Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Soberba reação! Grato por encontrar este canal! Pra mim, mais do que as notas e os tempos impossíveis que Yamandu toca, é o lugar que ele consegue acessar dentro do nosso universo de emoções que mais me impressiona.
The GOAT is Brazilian! I'm glad to see Yamandu here.
Talking about Dilermando?
@@llvllvllvllv No. Pelé!
Wow, not being a musician this analysis is amazing. I had never noticed the bass notes as you explained. Great job and would be awesome if you reacted to other songs by him or other instrumental music like game OSTs!
Brazilian musicians must know:
Hamilton de Holanda (mandolin), Danilo Brito (mandolin), Hermeto Pascoal (multi), Thiago Espírito Santo (bass), Leo Amuedo (guitar)
Leo Amuedo é Uruguaio
I can hear him playing every single day!
He’s absolutely amazing ,brilliant very talented guitar player 👍
Thanks for your reaction.
Yamandu é patrimônio do chorimho, samba e MPB.
Ele é único.
Yamandu breaking everything.
Somente quem entende alguma coisa de música, ou toca violão é capaz de entender o quanto impossível é tocar como Yamandu Costa.
E p/completar: Toca de olhos fechados.😮
In this piece, Yamandu makes tribute to some brazilian popular musics. :-) it's beautiful. (yes i'm a brazilian and he is a legend) rs
This is one of those videos that makes you want to sell your musical instrument!!! Sensacional!!!
Yamandu Costa and Baden Powell are often cited as main references for the best brazilian classic guitar players
The truly greatest reaction ever, doing musical thoery explanations is great
Yamandu is an universal treasure, glad to see him more and more breaking the brazilian bubble and reaching out others countries. Brazilian music is really special and yamandu is helping to keep it alive. Great reaction btw. Cheers!
This is a great review and break down of Mr. Costa's music. I loved your commentary it was informative and humorous at times. Enjoyed myself Bravo!!! 👏 👏👏👏
Hello Sir, could you react to "chico buarque - construção"? There is a version with english subtitles on youtube. This song is a masterpiece, from the unbelievable good lyric to the orchestration, and how everything fit perfectly together.

Up!
Yamandu played so well that made Sir Hairless hair fall out hahahahahahah.
Ele é diferente, uma lenda viva
"Rapha" from the song title is guitarrist Raphael Rabello, another brazilian genius worth listening to.
This was fantastic! I enjoyed that. I could see by your face the compexity of his artful display. I'm so into your channel! So much to see and hear and I had no Idea! Thank you!
Es un genio de la , Guitarra impresionante.👏👏❤️❤️
I loved your reaction to Yamandu and I instantly subscribed to your channel. You're a very good music professor and I hope you can analyze more brazilian songs and artists. Thank you and hugs from Brazil!
Thank you!!
Man, I`m from Brazil. Here Yamandu is a legend among the musicians. It´s crazy whath this guy play a guitar without gaze the eyes on the instrument.
Reminds me of Raphael Rabello. If I am not mistaken , Yamandu was one of his great admirers. I watched Yamandu play guitar when he was in his 20’s. Amazing. Only gets better. Thank you .🇧🇷❤️
You've earned yourself a new subscriber! Thank you for this video!
Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you!
"Choro" or "Chorinho" is a Brazilian music genre that is a merge of many other genres. Samba, Classic, Polka, Waltz, and many others. It has an specific combination of instruments, and the 7 string guitar is one of them, and one of the most core ones. That being said, the most virtuoso guitar players of Brazil are known to play the 7 string guitar, and their style is of course heavily influenced by the "Choro" genre.
react - Visita Boa: Yamandu Costa e Elodie Bouny - La Catedral (Allegro Solemne). Elodie Bouny is wife Yamandu Costa. Two guitar geniuses, but from different schools
Гениальный гитарист! Гениальное исполнение!
Bela análise !! Cheia de bons sentimentos !! Yamandu é Lenda 👏👏👏 !! Amazing ! Thanks
Como é um brasileiro, só músico talentoso,mas se fosse do USA ERA UM FENOMENO DE OUTRA GALÁXIA.
Amigo, não por eu ser brasileiro ou por ele ser, mas, não querendo menosprezar ninguém, o Yamandu Costa, se não for o melhor violeiro do mundo, com certeza está entre os 3 melhores, ele é um gênio, ama o que faz e é tudo o que sabe fazer, dedica a maior parte do seu tempo à música, e, sempre parece estar bêbado, mas não, ele simplesmente se entrega totalmente à música e esquece o mundo ao redor, aliás, esquece de si mesmo, incorpora a música, passa a fazer parte dela.
Temos muitos outros bons violeiros, mas, com certeza nenhum se iguala ao Yamandu.
Um abraço.
"..honestly, I don't know at this point..." Welcome to a Yamandu video. =)
😅
I watched him playing in a really intimate "show", for around 30 people, after a mind blowing show on the "Rio das Ostras Jazz Festival". overwhelming experience.
it was heart warming to see our reaction.
Wow, sounds amazing - I'm jealous!
Best reaction I have watched. You enriched your analysis with some technical information that the non music educated people like me wouldn't grasp. Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow!!!!!!'!!!!!
We Brazilians were born with this.
Excellent content! New happy subscriber!
Thanks so much!
Yamandu Costa é um gênio e orgulho do BrasiL!
This songs reminds me of an effusive conversation, with hard questions and deep answers.
That chromatic motive is actually very recognizable in brazilian music, pointing to some classic Choro and Samba pieces!
Yamandu, orgulho do Brasil. Grande talento
Yes, this is a seven string guitar.... the lower one is tuned in B tipically when you have the other 6 in standard tuning... this king of guitar is often used in Brazil for Samba and Choro styles... Have a look in Choro... you are gonna like!! Yamandu is a talent and a live icon of brazilian culture!!
Isso é um Samba no violão, incrível Yamandu Costa
C'mon dude! You have very keen ears and are an excellent music technician professional! This react was amazing! Thank you a lot! Love from Brazil! Yamandu is a huge guitar monster!
Cheers!
@@SirHairless Cheers friend!
Dá pra ver como o olho do cara brilha só de estar apreciando esta obra!
I need you to listen to Unforgettable day Gakku version by Dimash Qudaibergen. It will absolutely blow your mind
That is a must !
It's on my list for the future!
Es esoterico el brasilero👏👏👏👏
You gotta listen to this song mate, Cartola - Preciso me Encontrar, this is on the original soundtrack for city of god and it is just a musical masterpiece, the oboe, the guitar, omg it gives me the chills (in a good way) every single time.
Here in Brazil there is also Fabio Lima who is a globally recognized guitarist
i want see read the the harmony of Choro loco's yamandu Costa. This song is very crazy and amazing, for dissonance, velocity and techniques.
I am not familiar with guitar as much, but LOVE this instrument! Beautiful! What an amazing musician. I lived in Chile, growing up, so love guitar, and Latin music. Thank you for your expert discussion of this wonderful instrument. I always learn so much from your reactions! The music is beautiful, but you also make the entire experience beautiful as well! Thank you!❤
