Non è importante il bemolle 9 sull'accordo di dominante di La minore? Sei serio? In questo brano è fondamentale, perche da un colore unico alla composizione, soprattutto in una bossa. Ma se preferisci usare accordi destinati ai bambini di cinque anni che iniziano a suonare uno strumento fai pure, ma almeno evita di rinderti ridicolo sul web.
Translation: Isn't the flat 9 on the A minor dominant chord important? Are you serious? In this piece it is fundamental, because it gives a unique color to the composition, especially in a bossa. But if you prefer to use chords intended for five-year-olds starting to play an instrument, go ahead, but at least avoid making yourself ridiculous on the web.
Sono un bambino di cinque anni contento di questo tutorial. Magari ci fai vedere tu qualcosa di meglio? (te lo consiglio, anche perché al momento quello che si rende ridicolo sei tu..)
Dear Tony - Usually I just give a thumbs up to your videos. However, this time I just want to take a moment to say thanks. I'm an old man now and I've forgotten many things. Believe it or not, I actually forgot that this has been my favorite song since I was a pre-teen. Hearing it again after so many years moved me nearly to tears. I remember when I first started playing the piano, I only wanted to learn so I could play songs like this. That was many, many years ago and sometimes life gets in the way and there was not always space in my life for the piano. I regret that. However, I'm retired now and have no more excuses not to dive fully into learning this magnificent song. It was magical to me all those many years ago and it is magical to me now. The interesting thing is that I've heard people mention Black Orpheus a thousand times and I never knew that it was actually A Day In the Life of a Fool (a far better title if you ask me). I've already printed the lead sheet so I'll be working this out well into the night. Thank you so much. I've never said this about any CZcams video or piano tutorial but this video made my day. Thanks again.
So nice to hear this. Thank you for sharing 🙏
my jazz teacher gave me this song to learn, used this as a supplement to help and it broadened ways of playing chords and especially the blues scale when improvising. thank you!
I love being a subscriber of yours, Tony. When your new video comes up it reminds me to go practice AND gives me inspiration for what to practice. I get something from every video and it all adds up!
Nice explanation & simplifying this song so that practically any jazz player can relate to & play.
A thank you for the sheet music!
I love your lessons!! Such a kind teacher for a beginner like me and wonderful tunes I love!
Love your lessons Tony .Thank you Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thank you Tony for this one! I downloaded this one from your link. Thanks for explaining it in simple way. I was looking for a lead sheet w chords for this piece. I have played this one before out of guitar chords app… I’m glad I found it in your channel. I love your tutorial . I always played piano on and off and have basic understanding of my chords / melody / scales that’s why your tutorial makes sense. And I truly learn easier from you. So excited to play and mess around w this 👏💕👌
This is one of the best melodies way you played and explained! I heard many artist played….. this is the best! 👍 touching❤️❤️❤️hearts. Thank you Tony.
Basic, yet good stuff, and important for all. I’ve played Black Orpheus many times, and always enjoy learning what to play and improvise. This video was great to emphasize its form with basic theory explanations…even if already understood. Thanks.
I'm happy when I learn anything, and I always learn something from you. Thank you!
Excellent Tony you got the true feel for the groove, don't ever stop, keep on rolling into the next melody.......
Thanks Tony , keep doing these because they are really helping my playing- especially because have felt stuck but these detailed and careful videos are super - thanks from UK, john
I really like the way you teach music. Your pace is just right (for me anyway). Thanks for the blues scale idea.
thanks for the lesson tony. these types of videos are great bc it reinforces concepts for the songs i’m going over with my teacher. this helped me understand the voicings for this song
Great to hear!
So beautful brazilian song. I apreciate!
Tony you’re a gem
Just found you Tony. Very NICELY done, very clear and understandable, thanks for explaining the chord changes so well, taken you time., etc. Its a JOY to listen to, and watch your knowledge spill out....THANKS for sharing your talent and teaching Black Orpheus! I will book mark your page, it was a GEM to find! Paul Barrett/South Jersey/USA.
Very very good for me!!!! your explanations are enlightening!!!!
Superb lesson yet again Tony. So clearly explained. Brilliant and thanks for the sheet music.
My pleasure!
Thank you for the lesson Tony. It was really helpful to me, as a beginner. Would love to see more jazz standards in such detail at this level.
Thank you Tony. Always well presented. Nice beginner arrangement with improv hints after memorizing melody and chords.
I like how you play. Have listened for years and would love to hear you play this at intermediate and advanced ( your level).
Dear Tony,
It’s been 20 years since I have really played the piano. I just bought a Yamaha DGX670 and am back at it full force. Thank you for your videos! !! They are really helping me to relearn what I have forgotten, and to learn new theory and chord progressions. Thank you so much.
I downloaded Black Orpheus this morning off the net, and intend to learn it well…. You are one of my inspirations! I am learning Linus and Lucy too and am following your instruction very well. You help to bring this song to life… and give me courage that with dedication and practice I can learn it! So thank you kind sir! Very much.
Thanks a lot Sean!

Nice bluesey improv there mate :)
Thanx, Tony🌹🌹🌹😎
Any time!
Tony, although my instrument is guitar I really enjoyed your tutorial. Very nice camera work. I had no problem following at all. Thanks.
Hello.
I've loved this song for a long time, and although I'm a beginner on the piano, I was looking for a nice arrangement.
The songs are completely different depending on the arrangement, so it's very difficult to find what you like.
So I'm really happy to meet you!
I don't know much English, but I'll watch this video and practice!
I was able to enjoy every day.
Thank you so much!
Thanx my friend
very good tutorial for beginners from herve
Super Vid Thanks
I play guitar and am currently studying this tune as the tune of the month. Beginning jazzer. Good lesson, thanks. I have been learning by numbers for the chords so the first 4 lines would read ..... 6- / 7b5 3D / 6- / 7b5 3D . I find it easier to navigate in any key.
Buenisimo
It's a great way of teaching this jazz song, Tony. Why did it take me so long to find you?
Genial
Good singing,dude. High voice.
You should sing more on your vids. Great voice!
Thanx Tony. One of my favs. Great intro to reading lead sheets. Yes, Avi is a party pooper. Sufficient to point out the context.
Great job as always! Are you working with Open Studio now?
No, just bought a tee shirt
Thanks Tony. Would you be able to give just a bit of advice as to which Dimished scale you used going from D- to G7? thanks in advance!
on G7 - G,Ab,Bb,B,C#,D,E,F,G
i want to light the filre of the pooped party cause these lessons are rocking good. the point of any music video is; can it get you the viewer to a higher advancment than you were at before; for me this works. in the end; I think its the case that everyone actually teaches themself music; just you listen to people and you get ideas on where and how to get where you want to arrive at and this one reminds me that the path I'm on is not a waste of time. I listen and I kinda feel "O I see" and while I may not be able to execute; I at least understand; at least to some extent. And then you have to ask what the point of life is. This is on track with that idea. So its chill. Im not pushed away from who I am with this lessons mode; and who I am is like; O I see... So if Im trying to figure out how to play the counter point line in the you know the part in the bridge of Girl from Ipanema; where after the second chord is arrived at; its two notes and.. at that point its like a descending... sound and... after listening to this video I tried diminished scale. I've listened to a lot of videos cause I've been living in this since 1975 or so; but none ever really got me to just see what to maybe play when trying to play that melodic phrase; its after; if you play it in F its.. after the I think its Cb then D then Eb. so there is some melodic I'm pretty sure its going down. But what notes to play so it sounds like on the records? I mean I can try to listen and figure; but that gets hopeless after a while and.. so this is like; o I see; and then well try some diminished or at least something with the diminished scale in mind and... well if someone can't not go to the bathroom at a party; well that is not right; these are actually fantastic lessons. So I figured to say something cause I'd have to go play teh piano in the garage cause the one in the house will wake up people who will get annoyed at me and the one in the garage is like sounds a little bad from all the moisture its absorbing. And the nighbors might call the fuzz if its too loud. That really fouls up the party. Black Orpheus is sounds very... I was in Brasil once. There are a lot of nibbibibbies there. So its probably the song that gave that. You have to eat the toxic part of the cashew plant to undo that and it won't be enjoyable for a long time after; but they will get cured. Also I always kinda struggle to get the two hands ... I mean when do you play the chords in the measures anyhow and you can see how he is doing it in this video; clear as day; o I see; taht is fantastic. I can try that. So when the dinner guests come over and I'm totally out of words; I slither over to the piano and; they dont realize Im getting ideas from this video; they think its like something I thought up. But I'm just trying to factor the idea of diminished scale into waht I do. the idea is to play. All teh theory is fun but the idea is playing; and this like shows you how. Even if one is not a Leonard Berstein which for goodness sakes I'm not. But from this one can be like.. good. This song never creeped me out; its a very neato sound. Sorta like you figure the next step would be like; o whats his name; Song from My Father guy. ... I feel so idiotic. My mind is racing through all these names and I know its not any of them. Ahh Horace. I like the brasilian lyrics from Gartota better So profoundly satisfying; the american ones are not as much fun. As if the you are my Sunshine guy Gene A being his name; he did that in Db not F. Amazing Grace works ok in F. But Db for the other one. Down in South America; Db works there too. Some things transcend the differences. Anyhow how do you make sense of the sixty million different theoritec things that could apply> Well this lessons gets you there; gets me there anyhow; and that is what good teaching is. What the hell difference does it make what the words are? None; what matters is if the pillar like does not collapse while you are standing under it. Anyhow if you hit the chord on the third beat... then lay the melodic beats in the and and four and... OMG: I see; taht is the secret to playing so it sounds something other than a laxative commercial.
well; I got distracted here; my brain has become very diminished today .. only took me from 1975 to get there. Its not 2021 isn't it? year of the covid chord... lols.... ºscale over 7 chord... ahh; got it; wow...
ciao.
chill.
god was Brazile weird.... I was in Haiti too. Doesn't this lesson remind you of how it feels to listen to like Horace Silver play? Somethign about it just gets ya. i did not realize Art Tatum sang actually; but probably he did. (no wonder he played so much chromatic stuff;) lols.
hmm; I hope I don't get banned from this facebook page. That'd be like getting expelled from harvard and having to wash dishes in the restaurant. o yeah; when I was in Brasil; Osmar Milito was playing in the hotel; he let me play his piano one day. So he realized I was no Herbie Hancock; and then later he played that song from the Charlie Sheen war film; you know; it was like crescendo..... they were aware the USA had started up in Vietnam. the jazz was jazz; and samba... I better like stop with this babbling. thanks for the helpful lesson; uh oh; seems like I've woken up the zombies... gotta splitsky....
Misread and put the G# on the Bm6b5 and it sounded ok that way. Dolly parton sings a mean stairway to heaven
Another way for people to think of minor 7 b5 chords if they can't grasp them the normal way is this...
Bm7b5 = Dm6 (a minor 6 chord built a minor 3rd up) in an inversion. I don't do this just offering alternative methods
Thanks for that tip...I got it.
@@winddealer1 OK nice
can you please explain the diminish scale at 14:40?
I'll do that in a future video. the scale is G G# A# B C# D E F .....
@@TonyWinston wow. Thanks for your reply. cant believe you respond to my question.....
Sorry to be a party pooper but the beginning of the lesson gave me the hibbigibbies. You presented "Manha de Carnaval" like somebody would present Ray Charles as “that blind guy that sings and plays piano”.
I'd expect a professor of Jazz to know the name of a tune he teaches. At least the important ones.
This "tune", although a very simple, one of the pillars of the Brazilian music heritage.
The correct name (as it’s known by all professionals) is “Manha de Cranaval” (Brazilian Portuguese), or in its American translation (in Europe and England everybody calls this piece by its original Brazilian name): “The morning of the Carnival”.
The reason it shouldn't be called "Black Orpheus" is that this piece is one of many, written for the Brazilian movie, Orfeu Negro (“Black Orfeus”) and, maybe the most famous one, but confusing the name of the song with the name of the movie demonstrates certain ignorance and, as a teacher one must spread knowledge, not only technical tricks.
This could be an obnoxious comment, if not for the two facts:
1. Orfeu Negro is THE movie and the event in time that officially introduced Samba and Bossa Nova to the West (Including the US. Yes, before Jobim and Sinatra).
2. The great Brazilian composer Luis Bonfa that wrote Manga De Carnival.
After all, even for music, if we don’t know where we’re coming from, we don’t know where we’re going and if we don’t preserve the heritage of the past, our children will not preserve our heritage.
Other than that….
Some of us don’t know as much about Brazil or it’s artistic history. Some of us had the opportunity to go there once, to visit family, but missed that opportunity. We still don’t know the complete history of the tune. I have heard all these titles, but didn’t know it predated Jobim. I’m still learning.
I know the notes, that's all I care about
@@TonyWinston Please find the link to the original cords below. I have no experience or equipment to record myself playing piano, not could I find (it doesn't mean that there are none) some really quality stuff for piano interpretation of this piece on youtube.
The issue with this piece is that it's written for guitar and conveying minute nuances on a piano is more difficult.
Basically you must be very meticulous with rhythm (and minute fluctuations of the rhythm) and the harmony.
Listen, get the groove, get really comfortable with the harmony and chords and only then try to play.

My video is for beginners who are learning about harmony. That's all. It is not about bossa nova, or any other style. It is not a performance.
@@TonyWinston AMEN! Even crazier.... the tune is in many books as "Black Orpheus" (at least one of mine included, perhaps a couple).
I can not believe someone would make such a snarky comment on a JAZZ LEAD SHEET, on such a wonderful BEGINNER video. It would perhaps be different if this were a history of jazz course.
