Gilles Victor28th December 2014what a pity there's no drum backing track in the guitar pro tab in any of your lessons. It would be of great help for rehearsal though !!!

Thanks for your help Ivan!

Hey Bara,
you could start with A minor pentatonic:
and A dorian:
And go from there. There will be Dd chord at the end of the sequence, so you can mix in that note, along side with F, to follow up the harmony.
Let me know if you need more help on this - Bara211th January 2012

Hi GMC!
In this lesson we are going to take a look at some Bossa Nova rhythms, from "basic" patterns to more syncopated ones, including
the typical bass movement.
We will look at five patterns and we must keep in mind that each pattern is actually interchangeable to create variations, fills etc.
Here's the harmonic progression (a classic one in bossa nova) with typical jazz chords :
C69/ C69 / D9 / D9 / D-9 / G7b9 / C69 / Db9
About the G7b9 : with the flat 9 on the bass we could also see this chord as a Abdim13.
You'll find more instructions under each video section.
Gear used :
Godin nylon (ACS SA).
Some reverb added in the DAW.
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
