How do you work on rhythms and patterns like these, and do you have a favorite? If you want to explore more ways to play grooves in Jazz: th-cam.com/video/ZEPT8HgMTbE/w-d-xo.html
I create patterns and rhytms with the feel or sensation of the chord sound, but i want to learn more about "genre" standars, thanks for share your videos, are amazing
For anyone watching this video: If you want to learn this style, make sure to listen to as much Joao Gilberto as you can, even though he was not really a jazz musician. In fact, you should do it even if you don't want to learn this style, because Joao played (and sang!) so beautifully. Have a listen to his eponymous solo album from 1973, which is mostly just vocals, guitar and light percussion. His version of "Aguas de Marco" is magical, mesmerizing and mindblowing. In a jazz context, his album with Stan Getz is of course required listening.
Jens, your generosity in freely providing video lessons that are so carefully produced is SO appreciated! You are a TH-cam hero!! And, Brazilian music is a gift to the world!
Interesting to find your comment because watching this great video i began wondering about the culture of which it emerged from. What i wonder would inspire rythmns like this?
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD th-cam.com/video/TXjvwQDfnTI/w-d-xo.html this video gives a good insight of the cultural scenario Brazil was going through during the time Bossa Nova was invented
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD late here, but Sure samba, But would recommend jammin 3against4 polyrhythm. Not just as a pattern but as a flow/feel so that you also vibe the 16ths notes in a bar with 3note groupings. Kinda diluting the bar notion and bringing it back again but multiheaded
Intervals. With standard tunning Fret 3 String 5 is a C. From this, Major scale: 3-5 ( Tonic, First interval), 5-5 ( Second interval, D-not used yet). Next string: Fret2, String4: E (third interval), and because of this is a Major chord... go on: fret2 string 3: A-> there we have the 6. In the same string fret 5 we have the C again, the octave of the tonic , not played, and the last, string 2, fret 3, D, would be the second, but after the octave is counted like the nineth . Seems complicated but after you draw it and you play it is easier. I'm just a fan, hope to help and you to enjoy
Excellent explanation! I tell you that as a Brazilian who listen to bossa nova since I was a little child in the 70’s. And, just to let you know, Joäo Bosco, the bearded guitar players is my neighbor, and Nelson Faria a very famous Brazilian guitar player and teacher and also leaves close to me! Happy to see both on your channel. Congrats and thank you very much!
Jens’ advice is amazing! If you’re a classical guitarist, these patterns are EASY!!! LOVE that you showed Nelson!!! He is a GOD! Got his book autographed by a good friend who knows him!!!
After playin guitar for a few years now ive finally takin an interest in learnin scales and chord progessions instead of just tryin to learn songs i like and your videos have been really helpful
Great! Go for it 😁 If you want to dig deeper into this then maybe this playlist:th-cam.com/video/zH4uQYgDotM/w-d-xo.html or the (free) study guide on my website are useful.
Thanks, Jens. I LOVE latin rhythms on a classical. This was an awesome lesson that I think many folks will grasp and use even if they have not played this style before.
I'm not much of a jazz player.I've struggled with the bossa Nova syncopations ever since I picked up the guitar and I just realized I can finally do them.I hope it will help me elsewhere as well. So thank you very much for this
Thank you for this! These chords have such a unique flavor i don’t encounter in the music i usually play, so it’s very nice to see them spelled out so I can add them to my vocabulary.
A very well structured lesson and lots of clear info to practice on the classical guitar. The demonstrations are presented in a way that is instantly understandable and I can see where Jens's fingers are put on the fretboard. Thank you !!
Hi Jens, awesome video! I just want to mention that in that video of Nelson Faria and Joao Bosco they are playing a rhythm called "Partido Alto", which is a type of Samba. It's a quite different approach to Brazilian Music. This type of rhythm comes usually from a percussive instrument (we try to emulate the rhythm in the acoustic guitar playing), this one in specific comes from a brazilian instrument called "Pandeiro", or tambourine in english! Keep up with the great video and lessons! Cheers from Brazil.
Night and day! That's just what I've been thinking of, nice connection. Thanks for the video as it's nice to feel the Brazilian flavour. Just what's needed deese days!
Jens,.... i have a fancy for tasty jazz/country/funk spices to bolster my love of Heavy Metal guitar. This is the 4th time one of your videos has leapt into my feed and i LOVE it. I wanted to say thanks for the specific examples you've chosen,... all of them so far have delighted me in that they're EXACTLY what i want to know. thanks SO much!
Thank you so much, Jens. This tutorial is amazing! I'm not a guitarist. I am a composer where the only instrument that I have mastered, is my voice. Now I am using my DAW to arrange chords and compose melody via the midi piano roll. I'm trying to develop a small library of Bossa Nova rhythm guitar comping patterns, so that i can drop chords into the piano roll and edit them using a simple pattern. My goal is to produce a simple demo that I can use to score the leadsheet and give both the leadsheet and demo mp3 to the instrumental musicians so they can use it to rehearse before we record them in our studio. The 2 simplest patterns that you show in this video are an excellent start for the simple template that I want to build. As you can imagine, my previous demos sounded very very simple, with only a strum-strum-strum feel. By using your patterns, these demos will sound quite a bit more realistic. I feel much better about handing demos like this to our musicians to rehearse with. Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing videos :)
It’s a subtle thing, but as watching this my brain heard D# and also Eb simultaneously instead of just one and also another. Means a lot more than I can put into words, but mostly I mean daily to say thank you for these videos through practicing and commenting :)
Excellent lesson. Thank you. I’ve been playing the basic while trying to wrap my brain and fingers around the more complex ones. Seeing your fingers helps a lot.
I also see you're doing stuff with Open Studio, which is a great learning experience & I've been a member for years. Great people to be associated with! Congratulations! Thanx for your posts.
Just a great lesson Jens. I love the intermediate level you teach at, six months ago I was struggling to follow it but now it's all starting to make sense. Muchos gracias amigo !
First video from this channel I am watching and I love it! You've very good at explaining, and the quality of the video + your musicianship earned yourself a new sub :)
Looking at the percussion instrument used in bossa nova & samba orchestras can give a better understanding of the various layers of rhythm. The "Surdo" (bass drum) is an integral part of these rhythms & feel of the style.
Excellent information. I'm not a guitarist but this really helped me to start thinking about how to compose this kind of music. Really thank you very much
Sweet. Bossa nova is way more colourfull when playing with the voicing and bass line, you did a great job in explaining how to think of this by applying different rythmic patterns.
I'm just writing out to thank you so much! After ten years getting by using only open chords and such I've decided to use this quarantine to try to really learn guitar & music theory through jazz and your channel has been the single best resource that I've found. I never thought for one second I'd be able to learn and evolve so much so quickly, and it is in no small part because of you. And right when I decided to dip my toes into bossa nova (as a brazilian guitar player I'm contractually obliged to) you upload this video. Amazing.
Thank you for this lesson Jens! I found myself improvising chord progressions after listening to the first three quarters. Had to pick the guitar up and play! Going back to listen to the final part to work on learning the 3 layer idea. Ty again!
Be careful w your assumptions or your bass player will change the root notes and reharmonize things brutally while comping behind the endless noodling. Or the ghost of Jaco Pastorious could come haunt your studio. Guess you were right about bassists and their humor Another great lesson! Thx!
Same dude. Grew up playing rock and metal drums. Just recently picked up guitar. It's so very different. The theory and study of music is so fun though
Jens, felt I should share this, noticed the guitars behind you, w straps attached. Beware the dye from the leather will bleed into the guitars finish over time. Difficult to remove!
I remember viewing this on my old account but a nice reminder is always welcome as I am still pretty unfamiliar with chords in general but I'm a huge fan of songs like blue bossa. Especially played by either Pat or Emily. I remember finding a CD of Stan getz with some pretty grieving bossa beats but this is a great way to try to incorporate it into my own playing. Thanks again.
Good video Lars, I had been stuck on the guitar for years and now I've been watching your videos for a week and practicing I've made progress like never before. I still have a long way to go and it motivates me that people like you upload these free videos for the love of art and Jazz.
Great stuff Jens I love Jazz since I was young and when I met Bossa I knew that I had to delve deep into it an that expanded my guitar vucabolary immensely,also it has its own Universal vibe iin it,soothes the soul! Whenever I take my guitar/s I always start messin' with Bossa stuff.😉
Very nice ! I am mainly a blues & rock player, but love all styles of playing, I can't wait to play around with this teaching,,, I love it ! Very romantic and laid back ! TY so much ! Just awesome ! 😁👍💕💕💕
Hi Jens, thanks alot for your videos, always so clear and inspired. Especially this one with smart explanations on how to groove, may be the hardest thing when paying music... I am restarting music after a 40 years break ;) thanks for you help ! Vincent.
Hey Jens, can you make a bossa nova style backing track using this setup? It might be a good extension to this video and would be useful for practicing. Thank you!
Hi Jens, although I am a pianist and music composer I really enjoyed and learnt quite a lot from watching this video. Thank you for doing this. If you and/or anybody else could recommend a similar channel or teacher (online/offline) for piano with this high level of understanding and professionalism please let me know.
nice hints Jens. I love it when you show Brazilian musics in your examples. Also very happy to see Joao Bosco in your videos. The man with a Samba Schools's hand. By the way, what is the music of the sequence chords in 8:11? Sounds beautiful to me, but cant figure out what music is Thanks
Hello Jens, many thanks for this video. I am a classically trained guitarist (intermediate level) and I would like to learn the guitar accompaniment on the famous Getz/Gilberto album. The fact that you wrote the comping patterns and chords in standard notation is enormously helpful to me because this is the way I have been trained to play music. I note that the patterns on the album are different than those in your video (at least some). Do you know where I could get my hands on the notation of the album tracks/patterns that are similar to yours? If you have them for purchase (I can specify the songs I am most interested in), I would be happy to buy them. Many thanks, David

Q
Jens! Thank you for this lesson! I'm really getting alot out of this one. Love this Bossa material
Jens what kind of Nylon String Guitar is that? I like the tone and Cutaway.
You forgot about one of the most important thing in brazilian bossa nova, the duble bass!!!
For anyone watching this video: If you want to learn this style, make sure to listen to as much Joao Gilberto as you can, even though he was not really a jazz musician. In fact, you should do it even if you don't want to learn this style, because Joao played (and sang!) so beautifully.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!
Yes! The AUTHENTIC Brazilian rhythmic Bossa Nova feel & touch! 💚💙💜
Yeah, you don't have Bossa Novas without Joao Gilbert, he's a must listen for guitarists. A god amongst men in a musical context.
... also, if you listen to his singing phrasing you can notice how unpredictable & tender he does it. 💜💙
@@ximalpopoca735 The way Joao was able to push and pull the rhythm with his voice against his guitar comping leads me to believe he had two brains!
Jens, your generosity in freely providing video lessons that are so carefully produced is SO appreciated! You are a TH-cam hero!! And, Brazilian music is a gift to the world!
You are so welcome!
As a bassist, I'm going to play all this on my bass. And I'm going to butcher it. So here, take that!
That's the spirit!
🤣
😂I like the self confidence
The 7th chord voicings will make you rip a tendon
how'd it go?
As a Brazilian I feel honoured to have you make a video about Bossa Nova, largely forgotten in Brazil nowadays, unfortunately!
Thanks, mate!

The high accents in the last groove seems to evoke the sound of a high-pitched percussion instrument like agogo bells.

ボサノバの基本をとても分かりやすく紹介してくれているビデオと思い登録済みです。何年も前に購入したボサノバの教本にはタブ譜はなく、コードの多さに前に進めないでいました。他の幾つかの分かりやすいボサノバ講座と共に観ています。まだギターで一緒に実践していないのでどこまで付いていけるのか不明ですが。ジャズは深く広い未知の世界、ボサノバならポップスやフォークよりリラックスして音楽を楽しめるかなという思いです。
genial, llevo días seguidos observando el video y cada día aprendo algo nuevo, excelente maestro!!! gracias. saludos desde Argentina

Be careful w your assumptions or your bass player will change the root notes and reharmonize things brutally while comping behind the endless noodling. Or the ghost of Jaco Pastorious could come haunt your studio.
Guess you were right about bassists and their humor

Same. Well I do play both but it’s all the same stuff just use inversions at your discretion I guess
The same
I play the drums 😂
Hi Jens, thanks alot for your videos, always so clear and inspired. Especially this one with smart explanations on how to groove, may be the hardest thing when paying music... I am restarting music after a 40 years break ;) thanks for you help ! Vincent.
Hey Jens, can you make a bossa nova style backing track using this setup? It might be a good extension to this video and would be useful for practicing. Thank you!
Just get drumgenius and practice with that. All the loops are from that app :)
Hi Jens, although I am a pianist and music composer I really enjoyed and learnt quite a lot from watching this video. Thank you for doing this. If you and/or anybody else could recommend a similar channel or teacher (online/offline) for piano with this high level of understanding and professionalism please let me know.
You're very welcome! Maybe look up Noah Kellmann or Aimee Nolte?
@@JensLarsen Thank you!
nice hints Jens.
I love it when you show Brazilian musics in your examples.
Also very happy to see Joao Bosco in your videos. The man with a Samba Schools's hand.
By the way, what is the music of the sequence chords in 8:11?
Sounds beautiful to me, but cant figure out what music is
Thanks
Thank you! That is Night And Day, a Jazz Standard :)
Thank you, this was an excellent video and I can immediately start applying some of these to my playing - very clearly explained and demo'd.
You're very welcome!
Hello Jens, many thanks for this video. I am a classically trained guitarist (intermediate level) and I would like to learn the guitar accompaniment on the famous Getz/Gilberto album. The fact that you wrote the comping patterns and chords in standard notation is enormously helpful to me because this is the way I have been trained to play music. I note that the patterns on the album are different than those in your video (at least some). Do you know where I could get my hands on the notation of the album tracks/patterns that are similar to yours? If you have them for purchase (I can specify the songs I am most interested in), I would be happy to buy them. Many thanks, David
Hi David, Glad you like the video! there is a link in the video description to a (free) pdf download
I really needed this. Thank you Jens!!
Glad you like it 🙂
