Information

The Essentials to Know About This Method
• A complete immersion in Bossa Nova on the guitar: understanding the style, its origins, and its "smooth" rhythmic approach.
• Progressive work thanks to the CD: each piece is offered in several versions to replay your part continuously.
• Very concrete rhythmic approach: the right hand is conceived as a "harmonized percussion," with a clear role for the thumb and fingers.
• Ideal for developing accompaniment: placement, consistency, groove, and the binary feel inherited from samba.

Summary of This Method

This method invites you to discover Bossa Nova as it was built in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s, at the crossroads of samba rhythms and the refined harmonies of jazz. The content places the style in its context, notably mentioning the impact of Orfeu Negroand foundational figures such as Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, while reminding that "bossas are sambas": the same rhythmic cells are found there, played in a more repetitive, softer, and "cooler" way.

The emphasis is placed on the role of the Brazilian guitar in harmony with the percussion. You will learn to consider the right hand as a true rhythmic section: the thumb holds the pulse echoing the surdo, while the fingers reproduce patterns inspired by the tamborim or agogôs. The method also explains how the pandeiro and ganzá "weave" a carpet of accented sixteenth notes, essential to give your accompaniment that typical swing.

For effective practice, the CD allows you to work on each piece over time: first with the full ensemble (theme, rhythm guitar, bass, drums), then without the theme, and finally without the rhythm guitar. You can thus repeat your part several times, refine your placement, and finish accompanied only by bass and percussion, as in a real playing situation.
