man just had a private guitar lesson with Dominic Miller, SO COOL!

I love how you put the tabs on the screen

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!!

Bossa nova made jazz style chords and theory a lot more accessible for me. Definitely worth learning

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.

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. 😅

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.

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.

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.

Dominic nailed it. This is how Bossa Nova should be played. Less is More.

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.

That jam switch at 6:10 and Dominic saying "That's great" has to feel like a dream haha, amazing video

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.

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!

What a generous man Dominic Miller is to share his knowledge so easily and in such a humble way! Respect!

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.

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.

Some guy on the internet + Dominic Miller = magic. Wonderful collaboration. Big thumbs-up.

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

the IMMENSE musicality of someone on the level of Dominic Miller is rare on socials and definitely explains his enormous career

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.

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!

Wow priceless! A virtuoso collaborating and sharing his gift with Paul who's one of the best on KZfaq, seeing this has made my day.

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.

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. 🙏

Thank you Paul for this amazing video❤ Much love !

Lifting the lid on the artistry of bossanova guitar has never been so lyrical and beautiful. Wow.

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.

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!

Really appreciate all the effort gone in to include the tabs, makes us learning and playing along happy

Dominic Miller is so relaxed as he conveys the complicated stuff. Transmits to the 'student' so well.

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.

2 Pros having fun, and talking shop. I love this. One of the best I've seen

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.

Paul... Thank you so much for having Dominic in studio for this Bossa Nova master class crash course, really FANTASTIC!!!

6:43 Pauls face smiling all over ... getting praise by Sting's right hand :) fantastic

So much wisdom in this simple lesson. And boy does Dominics guitar resonate. Wow!

Dominic is one cool dude! Gracious and humble man... Awesome now I am going to learn Bosa Nova guitar! Sweet

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

So damn lucky to have Dominic Miller teaching some guitar tips ! Thank you for the good tabs Paul !

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!

Dominic, definitely one of the most sympathic persons on this planet. what a guitar lesson.

That was wonderful...I learned so much! How wonderful that you had a session with the great Dominic Miller! What a lovely person - so humble and genuine.

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.

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’s beard is the 8th wonder of the world.

Paul, you have one of the best channels on KZfaq period. This was awesome. Thank you gentleman!

"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

that's a gorgeous bit of improve you did there.

What a legend

Wow... just a fantastic interchange and such a generous offering! Thank you both!

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.

Some months after he refered to Paul as "Some guy on the internet" 🤭

Brasil mentioned

I found myself jamming with Paul & Dominic from 5:12 That was possible with tabs and short training to feel that rhythm. It's like having a private lesson with 2 masters at the same time. That format is something to keep, it's terrific. Thanks both of you.

Totally inspiring! And of course wonderful to see you two together!

Best video I've seen on this channel so far. Music explained and brought to life. Keep it up!

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.

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.

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!

Paul, that was the best video yet. I was smiling the entire way through.

Thank you Paul and Dominic ! Wow -just beautiful

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.

Dominic Miller is such a gentleman ! And Paul is a natural born teacher ! Bravo to you guys, please make some more !!!!

Wonderful. Warm, simple, soft and hospitably. I felt that vibe, like we're sitting in one room jamming with our guitars.

Outstanding masterclass. Thanks, Dominic and Paul.

It's cool to see how when playing bossa nova people start to move lightly and smile. hugs from Brazil

What a beautiful synergy, I hope there will be more in depths bossa nova journeys with you two ❤

Mighty Dominic , I've been listening and playing Bossa rhythms since I was 10 years old now I'm over 60 I can never get tired of it

Loved this and appreciate the "chill" that Dominic puts into his groove. Thank you!

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 is fantastic! Dominic Miller is the BEST!!! So Humble!

Beautiful, and such a refreshing change from the pentatonic. Thank you

First time I heard Bossa nova, it was magical and inspired me to learn more on the guitar. So happy that this video poped up on my feed. Great work bringing this song to the masses. Worth learning and diggin into more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Every time I see Dominic I am more impressed, thank you Paul!

I love this new format! You are an excellent interviewer, Paul!

This is tremendous. Dominic does such a great job of breaking this down.

Man I bloody love playing guitar, there’s so much amazing stuff to learn. Just clicked on this by chance, by the end i’d picked up my instrument and repeated the video for my first foray into bossa nova. Thankyou.

Paul, you really know how to give the man a stage, pleasure to watch! Great work! Thank You.

Loved this two guys. What an amazing lesson. Thank you Dom and Paul

so gratefull that dominic shared this with you and us that is helpfull. Thanks a lot

This was really fun. Thank you and Dominic so much!

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!

dude i love how much your channel has grown over the years...this is really great stuff

Great episode, and a free lesson from Dominic Miller! Keep up the good work mr. Davids!

Perfect. A masterclass in Bossa Nova from two of my favourite players. Thanks, Boys!

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.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Throughly enjoyed this to no end. So mysterious, and fun, with great feel. Thank you. 🤘🎸🤘

Wow! Really great, thank you both SO much. Very inspiring. Being familiar with Brazilian rhythms and percussion, my ear loves the idea of playing Bossa Nova flavors on guitar. Thank you!

this is what i need, Thank you so much guys🙏

In addition to their superb guitar skills, both these guys are follicly blessed.

Thank you both for sharing the laid back vibe iwhile learning , the often elusive place at the heart of what we love

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!

Genial, Thank you for this video with Dominic Miller
