The drink is called ‘erva-mate’ or ‘mate’ or ‘chimarrão’ here in Brazil. It’s a common drink in south of Brazil , Uruguay and Argentina. It has a bitter flavour, but not much, and is a soft stimulant, since it has some caffeine .
Yerba mate is a kind of exotic extra-caffeinated drink in the north hemisphere. I just don't know if the bomba and the cuia is known there. Chimarrão without cuia is disgusting.
It's also valuable to mention that Yamandu has enormous influence from the culture of the south and Chimarrão is the least impressive of that... his music and technic is influenced by typical music from the south of Brazil and from Argentina.
I'm here watching after Yamandu himself posted a fraction of this video on his IG official acc and linked it there. Loved the way you called chimarrão a "magic potion". As for the thumb, arpeggios and vibe, Yamandu says in one of his videos that his playing style for the 7str guitar is heavily influenced by the gipsy/flamenco way of playing it. Here in Brasil we have been using 7str guitars for a long time, but in quite the different way, mostly in Chorinho and Samba. Fernando7Cordas, brother of Hamilton the Holanda, is a formidable 7str player for Chorinho, and you'll notice he plays in a totally different manner. Again: thanks for the video!
The main reason that Yamandu changes his position a lot when he is playing is that it helps him to relax and go with the flow of the music, and when he lifts the guitar up you can play more fluently in the higher positions, and also he flicks waves or stretches out the first and fourth fingers of the left hand because it helps to relax and give momentum and more control to the second and third fingers which incidentally are the most difficult to control because the tendons of these two fingers tend to want to work more together and are not entirely independent, I know this is true because I have been playing and practicing piano for the last forty years not just guitar alone and I am always experimenting improvising and testing things out to see if it can help me to play more easily and in a natural way with as little tension as possible and over the years I have realized that I have to break every rule that was ever made about practicing and playing the guitar and piano. P.S Everybody needs to understand that the art of playing musical instruments is infinite and that there is no method or technique that is totally cut and dried, there always has been exceptions to the rule and thank God there always will be.
Yamandu é um fenômeno. Existem muitos músicos extremamente técnicos e fodas, mas esse não é o caso do Yamandu, ele está alguns degraus acima. Nada dele é ensaiado ou treinado. Ele executa as músicas livremente, com muito improviso e um modo muito próprio. Sabe aquele ditado de que sempre tem alguém melhor que você ? Ele serve para todos os músicos, menos para o Yamandu.
I think you can summarise Yamandu's methods of holding the guitar as being largely akin to the various flamenco methods of holding the guitar. He just readily switches between the various types. The only type I haven't seen the flamenco guitarists use is both feet on the footstool and Yamandu has a specially wide footstool. Truly he was born to play guitar.
Magical potion!! 😂. That magical potion is called yerba mate. It is a herbal drink very traditional in South America specially in Argentina which is where I'm from. You'd love it if you tried it.😀 BTW... Loving all your music in spotify which is what I listen to at work and learning the freshly purchased 8 metallica songs medley tabs which is unreal!!! You are an inspiration man!! Keep it up!!!
Thanks for letting me know!! I had no idea what that drink was, I will have to try it now. Thanks for listening and playing the Metallica medley as well!
Yamandu, such as Baden Powell and Raphael Rabello often set a sort of a pocket with the RH and and use Thumb, Index and the other RH fingers to stroke 2 or more strings to develop rythmic ideas in Samba and other Brazillian Rythms
That drink is called Chimarrão, very traditional in the three states of the south of Brazil, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, where Yamandu is from, It is made with the infusion of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), which has a slightly bitter flavor. It is also drunk in Argentina Uruguay and Paraguay, although the drink has different names.
Brazilian guitar tradition. Samba pro Rafa is dedicated to Rafael Rabello amd you mostly of Rafa style including double bass which in turn comes from Dino 7 cordas and Regional formation times during mostly of Brazilian music history. It's about imitation of percussions of samba and choro. Its starts with João Pernambuco, Garoto, Dino, Meira, Baden, Rafael whom Paco de Luccia was crazy about as all Brazilian guitar players after him including Yamandu.
great case of a creative person actually being involved in his talent. The issue of movement ,position and sitting still etc are all irrelevant. These are human techniques or must dos that don't apply to nearly all of the great pioneering musicians. Its just a natural thing for them. Beats forcing yourself to adopt a standard' must do ' technique. great vid
He is drinking Yerba mate Tea, very traditional in the region he comes from (south of Brazil). On the other hand, his body language is quite typical of any Brazilian player, of any instrument. We simply move a lot. It´s a relaxing thing. Nothing to do with playing technique
Sou brasileiro e portanto suspeito para falar sobre a genialidade do Yamandu Costa, então, não direi que ele é o melhor do mundo, mas, eu seria injusto se não o colocasse no "Top 3". Um abraço
on upright bass we use the 3rd finger to support the 4th in lower register, don't use it to play until thumb position - similar to how Yamandu uses his 4th to support his 3rd
Add Luis Salinas and that's the two best. Sadly Juanjo Domínguez is gone and long ago Baden Powell and Raphael Rabello. These are the supreme players. I saw Luis Salinas, a good friend of yamandu, live in Buenos Aires in a bar. Total improvisation. I have ticket to see yamandu in September
Hey thanks for the support bro! I really appreciate it. I will definitely get around to Marcin at some point, he’s someone I’ve had in mind for awhile.
You called him a dinosaur. On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, Yamandu Costa is from Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost Brazilian state and... the OLDEST DINOSAURS on Earth, 233 million years old, were found on this state As for the thing he drinks, as a gaucho (person from the state of Rio Grande do Sul) which also drinks it and can´t play guitar if my life depended on it, I can confirm it doesn´t change your guitar playing skills. It's MATE (here in my state, we call it chimarrão). Very popular in Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil. It seems you are American. If you were European and followed football, you would see players from these countries often drinking it. Like Lionel Messi. ad here, Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn from Lord of the Rings trilogy) drinking mate. He lived all his teen years in Argentina and acquired the habit... or addiction lol ua-cam.com/video/XNUYFfUzMwg/v-deo.html
Many thanks!
Omg!! You just made my day bro! You are the man!!
The footage of his thumb is just insane. I’d think it were sped up if I hadn’t heard Yamandu play. The guy is unbelievable.
Totally agree! One of the most amazing guitarists ever.
@@CharlesAlexanderAllredtry Rafael Rabello and Baden.
@@CharlesAlexanderAllredVc já o ouviu/viu tocando "Tico Tico no Fubá", "Brasileirinho" ou "Samba pro Rapha"?

Playing a 6 string at 14.50 I really enjoy your analysis of players they are fascinating.

Yes, I'm having mate right now.
Pretty traditional here.
Where I’m from everyone drinks coffee. But I’m glad I know of Yerba mate now.
@@CharlesAlexanderAllred Did you know yerba mate has its own emoji? 🧉 pretty cool if you ask me
@macguionbajo ha that’s awesome! I’ll have to use it whenever I’m talking to someone about mystical magical potions lol

By 9:21 his thumb is hiting several notes in this down movement
Genius...Great and natural Talent...

Your pronunciation of Serelepe was pretty good the second time.
Great vídeo. The music in minute 19 is called Porro from the composer Gentil Montana
The drink called CHIMARRÃO. Chimarrão is a very common herb in south of Brazil and south of south America, Uruguay, Argentin and Paraguay
Yeps that's awesome and i think is hard ,much years practice hehe ,have a fun day and take care

Amazing analysis! Congrats!
Congratulations! Good video!❤
The movement is joy good energy! Everything else is coming from people that would not come even close to his technique. Aka haters!

@@alankkoc eso esta mas que seguro..Salinas es uno de los mas grandes..👍
Love these videos Chuck! I have a request for the future… Marcin Dylla please!
Hey thanks for the support bro! I really appreciate it. I will definitely get around to Marcin at some point, he’s someone I’ve had in mind for awhile.
Btw, the magic potin u said is actually chimarrao from Rio grande do sul. It's almost magical indeed. Magical Tea for the brain and soul LOL
You should do Baden Powell!
Great idea!
The drink is mate. A typical Gaucho tea-like herb.
The drink is called chimarrão, and it's sort of a tea made with mate leaves.
Já estão precisando inventar um violão de 8, 9 ou até de 10 cordas para que o Yamandu possa mostrar do que é capaz...
Next: Claudio Quartarone.
You called him a dinosaur.
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, Yamandu Costa is from Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost Brazilian state and... the OLDEST DINOSAURS on Earth, 233 million years old, were found on this state

Yamandu is not from planet Earth
No argument here!
Is a alien...
