PORTUGUESE GUITAR BY HUGO GAMBOIAS | FADO IN PORTUGAL | ARTS & CRAFTS #3 | GO! Walks Portugal (4K)
Hello!
This is my longest video so far, and what a pleasure it is listening to Hugo Gamboias speaking about the Portuguese Guitar, the beautiful instrument used in Fado. He is a master, and in this video you'll learn about:
- his experience on building a guitar
- the different models of Portuguese Guitar (Coimbra, Lisbon, Porto)
- the types of wood and other materials used when building these guitars
- the most important names of Luthier and Guitarists from Portugal
- how the Portuguese guitar is tuned in Lisbon and in Coimbra
- the techniques of playing this guitar and the different nuances between Fado from Lisbon and from Coimbra
- Hugo Gamboia's projects and future shows
... and you'll hear him playing two songs from Carlos Paredes - prepare yourself to be blown away by his talent, because I personally couldn't help it!
Hugo plays at:
Fado ao Centro - www.fadoaocentro.pt
In.dia - In.diaDuoguitar
Pensão Flor - pensaoflor
Fita Cola - fitacolarock
And you can follow his work directly through his facebook and instagram pages: hugogamboias & hugogamboias
The Portuguese Guitar he loves so much and that he talks about in this video was built by Hugo Madeira: madeiraluthier
He also mentioned Óscar Cardoso. His contact is: oscarcardosoguitars
I would also like to thank Fado ao Centro Cultural Association and Fado School for allowing us to film in their Luthier Workshop. I will surely have the opportunity to tell you more about it in future videos! And of course if you happen to be around Coimbra, I strongly advice that you visit this place located in one of most important streets of this town's historic center: Rua do Quebra Costas.
The music used in the video was kindly given by In.dia and Fado ao Centro!
Alright, and that's all for now! Leave your comments about this video and I'll see you next week :)

O nome dessa Aluna da turma do Mestre Gracio que pertenceu ao curso ministrado por ele com o apoio da CM Oeiras ( Paço de Arcos) é Fabíola :) . Tive oportunidade de pertencer a essa turma uns meses e ainda tenho contactos e preciosas fotos do mesmo. Tenho a felicidade de conhecer o Mestre Grácio desde miudo, quando ele tinha a oficina montada nas escadinhas, no Cacem. Tudo a correr bem!

@@GOWalksPortugal Thank you - my Portuguese is very basic - i liked the format - of your thoughts but i just couldn’t keep up - my limitation! Hope I didn’t offend you. I have only managed to get to Albufeira? Algarve area. I fell in love with Fado and the Portuguese guitar when I came across Cristina Branco while I was travelling in Germany. I plan to go to LIsbon and Coimbra next year . Ive been struggling to. Appreciate the differences between the two models. Your video was the first time I gained a better insight into the construction, scale length, tunings and explanation of the different playing styles of the two areas. Very informative - Renewed my interest again - so thank you.

No way, thanks for your comment - I didn't get offended. Any constructive criticism is welcome. Since I can't do much about the videos I have already published, I suggest that you stop the video if you have trouble reading it. I know Cristina Branco very well - the pianist that usually performs with her is my neighbor and we have friends in common 😉💚 take a look to his work, he is incredible: Luís Figueiredo. Let me know when you come here! If you need a guide, I will be available (I hope eheh)! Stay in touch and enjoy the rest of my videos 😊 I will be editing more very soon!

@@GOWalksPortugal Well, that is astonishing. Thank you for kind offer. Yes, I was in a music store in Dusseldorf Germany and was listening to a range of world music. I put on double CD set "Post Scriptum and Murmurios". I was stunned . I couldnt move. I listened to the whole set (shop not happy) and bought the collection . I went through a phase of falling asleep at night to these CDS - wonderful. I was particularly drawn to "Lirios" on the second CD . I was fortunate enough to see her on her first UK venue in Bournemouth. It was a small theatre set up like a cafe scene for the audience - very memorable. I met her after the concert which was a big pleasure. I was there in the town to find a mandolin from a well known dealer. I am currently looking at a mandolin in the shape of Portuguese guitar. However, I dont want to buy a Portuguese guitar online for the reasons covered in your video. I was talking to my brother in Brazil today when your message came though. We discussed my travelling to Portugal - for me it could be Before Xmas , in the new year or March/April . I am quire flexible. Is your pianist neighbour the original one who toured with Cristina when she came to UK ? I am in awe that you know Cristina - what an artist and lovely person. At the moment I am reading a Fado Portuguese song book edited by Donald Cohen,. Many pics of Amalia of course and Lisbon. I will look at Luis Figueiredo this evening. I hope we can find a way of keeping in touch . It is such a big pleasure to chat with you - even more so , now that I see the connection . Wow. Amazing.

Hola! No tenemos ninguna Guitarra típica en Portugal con más de 12 cuerdas. He visto videos que circulan en Internet de guitarras con 14 cuerdas o más, pero no son instrumentos típicos - creo que están personalizados a pedido de los guitarristas que los tocan.

Muchas gracias por compartir lá información de su padre 🙏 si, voy buscar el video! En el futuro haré más videos de Guitarras Típicas 😁 mantenemos el contacto.
a base cientifica todos veios tem a ver com massa e tenção, quanto mais apertado o veio menos massa o tampo tem necessidade de ter, isto as vezes não e bem assim mas essa e a base. nos tampos que diz que gosta não são de qualidade inferior so por isso, isso e so visual, os tampos os tampos bons isso não interessa de nada. claro que em lógica um tampo com o veio apertado sera melhor mas isso tem a ver com stiffness quanto mais stiff melhor. no entanto ja trabalhei com veios largos mas mais stiff do que os de veios juntos. e ja agora se nos conseguimos controlar a espessura logo conseguimos controlar os agudos , graves e médios. Mas sim criou se a ideia que a coisa visual e que e importante, isso e como as escalas de ébano a malta diz que as 100% pretas e que são boas, lol isso e so visual
