Bossa nova

[Stangetz]

Hello

I would like to ask you if you know any online course about bossa nova

Long ago I had a lot of frustration in myself, for books, teachers, and bad times.

But I'm just an amateur and I discovered Yakoov's Gypsy Jazz courses and they are the best I've ever had as a guide in a style.

I still continue, but I want to go into bossa nova, without books, rather courses with repertoire.

Thank you

Romero Lubambo has an online bossa nova course. I have no experience with his teaching style, but I certainly enjoy him as a player:

thanks friend

I was watching a video and a content of the lessons and they are very well, but I do not know how to create a new account

Thanks for your help

Try this guy....I did and enjoyed his graded approach.

There's a free lesson offered and I think a trial period too.

Thanks moonray

That's ridiculous. I've looked at the site. It's obvious and very easy. What's the problem? You got on here all right!

[Stangetz]

Ok ragman1

Excuse because I,m Spanish and I don,t Know write english very well but I understand it.

For example in gypsy jazz courses you have to register to see the contents and a summary of what you are going to learn and the repertoire, but on this website I don,t know how to register.

I have the feeling that you have to buy the courses and you have unlimited access for months or a year, depending on what interests you.

The two sites mentioned seem very interesting and I think they work in the same way.

I could only watch a free video on that website by putting my email, but I am not able to see examples, just a small fragment



Anyway I don,t know how to work very well with the internet and it will be a matter of exploring a bit and making a decision.

Well, I think if you want quality lessons you may have to spend money. Sad but true. There's a lot of free stuff on YouTube, of course. It depends where you are now and how far you want to go. Certainly the basics are covered very well.

Keep looking, I'm sure you'll find what you need sooner or later.

Thanks for your help friends.

Fareed Haque has an elementary bossa course over at truefire.com

Nelson Faria's book Brazilian Guitar Styles is excellent. Just a few pages on Bossa, but lots of material on related styles.

I'd suggest getting Almir Chediak's Jobim book (or the whole Bossa collection, but $$$$). He gives the composers' guitar grips -- and the Brazilian Bossa Nova giants were very clever with voicings. Worth studying.

As far as getting the rhythms, I'd suggest not thinking "I'm going to learn to play Bossa Nova guitar". Rather, recognize that every song is different (well, not quite, there's some duplication) and learn one song at a time from the original recordings. After a dozen or two songs, using the voicings in Chediak's books, you'll probably be pretty good.

I have the books, I have a lot of books, but I need an image at first.

I prefer courses like those mentioned by friends in previous comments.

Thanks

Emily Remler goes over Bossa Nova a bit in her instructional video "advanced jazz and Latin".

+1 I got a lot of mileage out of that Fareed Haque bossa course on truefire.

[rlrhett]

+1 on Fareed Haque. He is the master of making it "real" for a gigging musician.

His comping course on truefire.com is also solid gold.

Hello friends

Sorry for not answering before. I was disconnected from the Internet.

Of all the contributions that you offer me, I am left with the doubt of the courses of Romero Lubambo :: Brazilian Jazz Guitarist Extraordinaire and with those of
Learning Brazilian Guitar - bossa nova guitar lessons for beginners to advanced

I find them more complete and cover songs that are better known to me.

I registered in truefire, but it does not convince me, it's fine, but it does not go deep, I see it more appropriate for an introduction.

Probably I can go wrong, and trufire offers many things, some that I know will not work for things of the past and I do not like anything, how licks you must know-

I always need a starting repertoire to stay motivated and enjoy it.

I thank you for the help you have given me

I understand the books, but I can go crazy, and it's a lot of repertoire that I do not know and I did not listen.

Thanks for all friends
