Danke für die Einführung in die Welt des bossa nova. Bin zwar noch Anfänger, aber fleißig am üben mit deinem Kurs und yt . Der Rhythmus klappt (einigermaßen ) , aber den Akkord greifen... das überfordert mich.. Spiele jetzt auf einen Song, den ich schon akkordmässig kann und übe da mal die Basics... Grrrrrüß Gott und danke aus dem Schwabenland 👋
This is Chai again. I'm sorry, Sandra, I kept sending my comment to you by hitting some button by accident. (Cont'ed) I'm frustrated because I lose the most important part of music---time or timing. Today, for example, I was trying to learn how to play Bossa Nova rhythm guitar. Everything is great, except when you stop counting. (You count only two beats of the count off.) You tell us students to count half time. That's very good, and I like it. And you tell us, I think, to feel the rest of the beat or the pulse of the song ourselves. I cannot do that. And as a result, I can't play in-sync with you because we don't have one common thing to keep us sync together. And that thing is the song's time or timing. To me, the song's pulse is the heartbeat of the song. Without it, the song has no life---it's dead. (Well, of course, except some songs have no tempo or only free time. Or when you play or sing all alone, you don't need time.) But if two persons play or sing together, we definitely need to have one thing in common, and that is time. Especially, when learning a song, like a having a drummer, we need to have the beats of the song be counted out loud through out the song. In this case, you might have tried it already. If not, if I may, I would strongly suggest that you use the "metronom" to teach us. Please! Again, thank so much for the great videos you do for us. And please keep up the good work.
Sehr genial! Endlich mal wer, der das auführlich erklärt. Viele andere haben ein Tempo drauf, da kommt keiner mit! Das mit dem vorgezogenen Akkorden wusste ich gar nicht. Super, dass du das alles so ausführlich erklärst. Danke Sandra!
This is such a wonderful lesson, with so much useful material to digest and internalize. You are definitely a queen Sandra! Your personality is lovely and your teaching skills are simply remarkable. Thank you for everything you do!
Thank you for a great lesson. I've only recently started trying to learn bossa nova (and jazz guitar in general), and your videos are among the best I've found. I need to buy some of the tabs and backing tracks now. All the best from the U.S.
Hi Sandra, Just another great piece of work from you. Such a smooth rhythm as the Bossa Nova is which i like to learn for so very long now. So here it is!!! By the way the rhythm is also very good for my hips!! Hahahaha!!! Cheers,Ron
You're absolutely wonderful Sandra and your English is perfectly fine. Bossa Nova, perhaps my favorite genre of music. The most short lived (commercially speaking), yet the most respected and loved music ever. I guess I'll always wonder why it was so short lived in the commercial sense, however, I'm fully aware of the presence of the Beatles and electric guitar coming on the scene at the height of Bossa Nova. Oh well... Thanks for all you do Sandra! You're awesome!!
That's sweet of you, Steve! Thank you ❤️. Since my hubby grew up in Brazil, I share his love for Bossa Nova. It's cozy and relaxing to listen to, der challenging to master. Also the portuguese lyrics in these songs are really special, very poetic.
What a nice reply Sandra. I appreciate it. Yes, you're right when you say the portuguese lyrics are special and very poetic. People die, but music lives on forever. Thank you.
Uau! Que legal! Eu também! Quando vierem a Sao Paulo, convido vocês para comer uma feijoada em minha casa! (In my broken english, just in case! - Great! I'm from Sao Paulo too! When you come to Sao Paulo, I invite you both to taste a fabulous feijoada at my place!) I'm sending you a private message at facebook just to keep in touch! Abraços! :)
Interesting that you are using 2/4 time. As a drummer most bossa drum charts that I used to play were written in 4/4. You did actually count in 3-4 by mistake at one point and that actually felt right to me as it allowed me to anticipate the tempo much more clearly. Just a drummer's perspective on things, I am probably wrong as I retired a long time ago. Anyway I love your playing, patterns and chord work, you are excellent, it is great to see that jazz guitar is in good hands for the future. Keep up the great work. 😊
In Brazil it's all written in 2/4. This resembles the feeling of the downbeat far better. The Surdo (the huge drum you see during the Carnival in the street parades) is being played on these beats, as is the bass guitar.
Samba is generally accepted as being in 2/4, but it's commonly written in 4/4 as this better represents the way the beat is divided. The surdo (in particular the terceiro or 3rd surdo in a bateria) has two alternating phrases that are played on the second half of the bar in 2/4. If you write it in 4/4, it shows how this is actually just one repeating rhythm that takes place over 4 beats rather than two separate parts. The caixa, agogo, repinique, and tamborim also have patterns that are 4 beats long. Consequently everyone in the bateria understands samba in 4 and counts in 4, despite what the experts say about it.

I'm using this video to give me the chops to get to your A.C. Jobim song lessons. Did I say "chops", I think that's jazz lingo? Another thank you, and looking forward to another "Wonderful" lesson..........
I will watch, but I think it ll be very good. I am brazilian.. so, bossa nova ... Vai minha tristeza, E diz a ela que, Sem ela não pode ser (with João Gilberto, Chega de saudade).
I mean repeat this lesson until you understand and can play the pattern, the chord change at the end of the first bar, and the alternating bass. I’m watching for the fourth time today. I think I’ve got it! I have learned several bossa nova songs without being concerned about the rhythm pattern, thinking all I had to learn were the chords. Mistake. Now I have to go back and add the elements you are teaching here.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman No but I will. I have pages of both E and A string chord inversions. Maybe you have a better way to teach it verses just memorization. Is everything in Austria somewhat normal? Friends from Western Spain said not to go to Europe right now. Too soon. Be well Barry
@@barry0517 In my video I explain a trick, how you get the Inversions. Maybe that helps. Weekender I don't know one by heart, I can quickly figure it out that way. Austria is doing great. We had a hotspot here, but learnt from our mistakes. Curfew, masks reqired. Now the numbers are down to 700 and stores reopening again.
OK yes this song seems to be mainly played this way it’s kind of a jazz Samba Bolsa but, it’s important to know that most samba tunes are highly influenced by the rhythm called Partido Alto Which you were playing on the guitar but most of the time the chord changes would be starting “halfway” through the rhythmic pattern compared to what you have in this song clip. For maybe it’s better said that the rhythm would be starting from the halfway point compared to how you have it in relation to the chord changes. So most Brazilian melodies are written so they do not land on the “downbeat” or beat “one” is not played as much by the Brazilian Guitar and Percussion instruments as much but beat is played (if you put the pattern into a full 4 beat measure). So if you take the chord changes of the samba like this one in the clip but play them starting with the rhythm displaced by 1/2 pattern it’s more typically Brazilian. Brazilian guitar players and Cavaqiño players and percussion players have tricks on how they enter without playing the “down” look at Michael D Miranda’s RUclips clips on the rhythm but watch them all the way through because he explains it best all the way halfway through his main tutorial. He shows examples how it’s done on Guitar and Cavaqiño and Percussion as well.
Thank you for your inside view! I used O Barquinho just as an example to showcase the Bissa Rhythms. I could have picked any other song. It's not about the song here, but about the rhythm.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Yes it’s a very good and clear lesson about that song. As far as the rhythm, it could be pointed out that most of the time in Sambas are phrased, as far as the melody and chord changes are concerned, “reversed” rhythmically from the example in the clip.
Hello Sandra, Your help is very usefull, Can I buy the music notation rather than tabs? I play the classical guitar but would love to play some bossa nova rhythms!
Hi Matt, This lesson is only available in Tab notation. My newer lessons are all in standard notation and tabs, but this is an older one. I'm gonna change all the old ones to both notations soon. But for now, sorry, only Tab version.
Hi Sandra, My name is Chai. I play music professionally---pop, rock, country, blues, and some jazz---for about 50 years now. I just started learning how to play Boss Nova, And I learned that it's not as easy as I thought. Thankfully, I found you by accident, and I really like what you do. You're very good at what you're doing. BUT there's one thing, though, is missing. And I think it's an important one. And that is the metronomes. I'm sorry, a lot of times I get really frustrated
I don't understand this Google algorithm. When someone searches " bossa nova basics tutorial " first in Videos appears a guy who honestly say "i don't have a clue... " which is very nice but No chords, No progression, Not a bossa nova tutorial. But Her videos are really good: with chords, with progression, with strokes and rhythm. This is T H E bossa nova basic tutorial . Over.
Thank you! ❤️ I have a follow up tutorial on this, for more danced players. Just type "5 best Bossa Nova patterns guitarversum" into the YT searcg bix. Generally, if you want to know if I did a certain song (I have hunderte of chord melody Songs, also Bossa Nova standards), add Guitarversum to your search string.
Sorry but not for beginners. Look at the first chord, that I cannot even begin to hold. Why not start on an open cord or GM7 or something easy? No good. Maybe you understand what I mean.
Well, this is a jazz channel, so with begiiners I mean Jazz beginnets, not guutar beginners. We don't use open chords in Jazz. But the chords don't really matter here. It's about the rhythm for this lesson. You can really apply the rhythm pattern to any chord. Just try with the ones you know and later apply jt to jazz chords. Bossa uses jazz chords exclusevly.
