Bossa Nova Rhythm Guitar Lesson. Not long after I heard Hank Marvin and The Shadows playing 'Apache' in 1. I was 1. 1 years old and just HAD to twang. In fact while I was waiting for it, I rigged up a slab of wood with some wire that I'd tightened up with screws just to be able to see and hear for myself what happened when you plucked tightened wire. It was one of the first commercially successful 'Bossa Nova' LPs, featuring saxophonist Stan Getz and the brilliant Charlie Byrd on guitar. I fell in love right then and there with those rhythms and those insane chords and those beautiful melodies. I knew for sure then that I would make playing guitar my life and that one day I'd be able to play like Charlie Byrd. I was a weird kid. Along the way, I discovered a whole lot of other styles of music, and I went off on my own rootsy rocky slide tangent, but I still listen to those tunes and melt. Rhythm guitar is usually associated with strumming, but the Bossa Nova (which I believe means something like 'New Wave' or 'New Trend' in Brazilian) is a great example of plucked rhythm guitar .. This lesson is my rather crude attempt to teach this feel, which is basically a Samba. I've strung together a few chords that conjure up the right flavor and done my best to get it feeling the way it should. You'll quickly see that it's a combination of an alternating bass line and plucked chords. I tried to keep it consistent throughout, but you'll see and hear a few little variations here and there. The bass line for the most part alternates between the root and fifth, which is the most common movement for bass lines, but I missed out on one during the Am bit and the G chords don't lend themselves to playing the fifth very well, so I just stayed on the root. This progression is in C, but quickly moves out of key. I won't bother with the Roman numerals here .. Most of the chords are dominant 7ths, though, and Dom. V chords of new keys (as I wrote about in the last lesson), so it really is a series of key changes. The changes eventually bring us to G7, which is the V chord of C, so the whole thing starts again. This isn't quite a 'circle of fifths', but close to it. The bass notes fall consistently on the first and third beats of the bar and they act as anchors for the syncopated rhythm of the plucked chords. The full pattern sort of IS the Bossa Nova and you can hear how the combination of bass notes and plucked chords becomes a very solid rhythm guitar part. By the way, the animated fretboard in the movie shows just the notes that I'm playing as red dots. If a string has no red dot, don't play it. Also, the dots just show the chords, not the detail of the plucking. The detail is in the tab below. I guess I needn't mention it again, but I will: it's the flow that you need to work. I avoided using barre chords to keep it simple, and I think most of the voicings are pretty easy to get the fingers around, so once you do get them down, concentrate on the flow, the feel, the vibe. If you watch and listen carefully, you'll see how they choke off the ringing of certain beats just before plucking again. The tab shows this as 'rests', those little symbols that look like '7' .. You'll also see that there's a single- finger- pluck in amongst it all, a tiny detail but one that keeps it all lilting along . You'll see how you can quickly turn any piece of music into a Bossa Nova. I suggest before you start changing chords, you just sit on just one chord for as long as it takes to get the feel of the rhythm down. About the chords, for any theory buffs. You may not recognize all these chords. Remember that chords are not just those little cluster patterns of notes you see in song books. The way the guitar is tuned does make it practical to cluster them together like that, but in reality chords are just a selection of notes that are played together. They can be spread out if it's more convenient to play them like that. The A7 I use here, for example, is a combination of the open A chord (the two bass notes, 1 and 5) and a fragment of the barred A7 chord at the 5th fret that consists of the b.
