When a pastor friend of mine gave me my first Jobim CD it opened a new world for me. When my wife and I go for drives we love listening to our Amazon music Jobim station 🤓 Some of my very favorites were when Jobim and Sinatra did a project together, it is so lush. I also enjoy Diana Krall’s take on some of the classic Bossa Nova selections. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully!🎹
@@PraiseTracks Oh my if that's the album that I think it is, there are some nice anecdotes written on the CD insert. Thank you for going to that sound for a bit in your vid. Your playing is lovely and inspiring on any instrument you review!
🇨🇦 Your repertoire of chords and their progressions are out of this world Simeon. Such a joy to listen to since guitar is my main instrument and the many others I learned later. Does this company also provide a six or 12 string acoustic version? Not many good acoustic libraries as I found the higher rages sound too artificial like in Ample Sound's version. Pianobook MG Soft Nylon Guitar sounds wonderful for a nylon guitar. By the way, Girl From Ipanema is one of my favorite bassa nova tunes. Wonderful demo Simeon my friend. 🍁 - Also, what expression pedal do you use? - What is the model of your pad/button mini controller?
I am so glad you enjoyed watching. This is actually the first guitar library Mike has released, I am hopeful with the reception this initial guitar has had there are sure to be more on the horizon. I am using the Studiologic VP Expression pedal. The MIDI fader controller is the MIXFACE, also from Studiologic, is has a lot of power and flexibility with a nice fader throw length. Don’t forget, you can download the FREE Decent Sampler version to get you started. Thanks as always for the amazing support. Joyfully!🎹
Yes, I was trying to see if pushing the pedal would trigger the fret noise, as my variable sustain pedal can be a little sensitive if I bump it in the slightest 🤓 It will only trigger the fret noise if you are actually engaging notes. Thanks so much Michael for watching. Joyfully!🎹
What I am hearing is fantastic. But, it is not the Free Version by any stretch of the imagination. Not even close! This sound is alive and sharp and crisp even bright, while the free version is dark and dead! Sorry, just my 2 cents. Or could it be Simeons fingers?? Ya, it could be. But, the free version is free, so listen for yourselves.
I have to agree with you. I just pulled up the free Decent Sampler version and it is a far cry from the full Kontakt instrument. In hindsight I wish I would have showcased the free Decent Sampler version as well, but there is always the next livestream ;^)
@@PraiseTracks Simeon, please don't agree with me. It makes my head swell and creates the impression that I know what I am talking about (said with a big smile). But to my tin-ears the sound difference was so dramatic, that I just fealt I needed to say something.

As a Brazilian retired professional musician I say: "Simeon, you are hired, man".
Mat,I am honored. Discovering Jobim opened my world to new beauty and possibilities. Obrigado. 🤓
Sometimes simple libraries make the most amazing sounds! This is proof that most of that! It’s like stumbling a small treasure:)
Thank you. This is great. So much human element in this
lo primero que pensé al escuchar el vst fue en Bossa Nova, queda espectacular 🥰
Incredible playing!
Thanks my friend. Joyfully!🎹
I Love your videos! youre so talented
Thank you, that is so kind. Joyfully! 🎹
Sounds great and beautiful playing as always! , now I'm not sure which one to get, this one or NI's picked nylon guitar.
Great demonstration, pianobook is an amazing resource
Jim, I hope to cover more of what Pianobook has to offer in future livestreams and videos. Thanks so much for watching.
What an amazing walk through! Thank you so much for supporting Mike and Pianobook.
Just got this with my coupon 🙂
Enjoy, and word has it that Mike is in the process of developing another guitar library which I am very excited about. Stay tuned.
@@PraiseTracks Great!
Sounds beautiful. Thank you.
My pleasure. This is such an amazing guitar library. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully!🎹
@Simeon Thank you for mentioning Jobim! This does take me back to some Bossa pieces too!

outtstanding sharing!see u around. dude,
Thanks for stopping by. I am so glad you enjoyed watching. Joyfully!🎹
I dont think the Kontakt version is free. The free one is actually for Decent Sampler.
Yes, I think the bumper on the end mentions Free but yes, it is referring to the Decent Sampler version.
Updated the video and description. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel.
I think the pedal gives you fret noise
Yes, I was trying to see if pushing the pedal would trigger the fret noise, as my variable sustain pedal can be a little sensitive if I bump it in the slightest 🤓
It will only trigger the fret noise if you are actually engaging notes.
Thanks so much Michael for watching. Joyfully!🎹
No slides or vibrato?
slides yes
