[@chaisiribongkot489]

This is Chai again. I'm sorry, Sandra, I kept sending my comment to you by hitting some button by accident. (Cont'ed) I'm frustrated because I lose the most important part of music---time or timing. Today, for example, I was trying to learn how to play Bossa Nova rhythm guitar. Everything is great, except when you stop counting. (You count only two beats of the count off.) You tell us students to count half time. That's very good, and I like it. And you tell us, I think, to feel the rest of the beat or the pulse of the song ourselves. I cannot do that. And as a result, I can't play in-sync with you because we don't have one common thing to keep us sync together. And that thing is the song's time or timing. To me, the song's pulse is the heartbeat of the song. Without it, the song has no life---it's dead. (Well, of course, except some songs have no tempo or only free time. Or when you play or sing all alone, you don't need time.) But if two persons play or sing together, we definitely need to have one thing in common, and that is time. Especially, when learning a song, like a having a drummer, we need to have the beats of the song be counted out loud through out the song. In this case, you might have tried it already. If not, if I may, I would strongly suggest that you use the "metronom" to teach us. Please! Again, thank so much for the great videos you do for us. And please keep up the good work.

[@stevedouglas7375]

You're absolutely wonderful Sandra and your English is perfectly fine. Bossa Nova, perhaps my favorite genre of music. The most short lived (commercially speaking), yet the most respected and loved music ever. I guess I'll always wonder why it was so short lived in the commercial sense, however, I'm fully aware of the presence of the Beatles and electric guitar coming on the scene at the height of Bossa Nova. Oh well... Thanks for all you do Sandra! You're awesome!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That's sweet of you, Steve! Thank you ❤️. Since my hubby grew up in Brazil, I share his love for Bossa Nova. It's cozy and relaxing to listen to, der challenging to master. Also the portuguese lyrics in these songs are really special, very poetic.

Have you watched my video on Inversions? You don't need to use Inversions, but some sound awesome and it often enables you to choose a nearer voicing.

[@barry0517]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman No but I will. I have pages of both E and A string chord inversions. Maybe you have a better way to teach it verses just memorization. Is everything in Austria somewhat normal? Friends from Western Spain said not to go to Europe right now. Too soon. Be well Barry

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

@@barry0517 In my video I explain a trick, how you get the Inversions. Maybe that helps. Weekender I don't know one by heart, I can quickly figure it out that way. Austria is doing great.

[@Gobli8]

Really useful!!! thank you

[@albertclangence1342]

Interesting that you are using 2/4 time. As a drummer most bossa drum charts that I used to play were written in 4/4. You did actually count in 3-4 by mistake at one point and that actually felt right to me as it allowed me to anticipate the tempo much more clearly. Just a drummer's perspective on things, I am probably wrong as I retired a long time ago. Anyway I love your playing, patterns and chord work, you are excellent, it is great to see that jazz guitar is in good hands for the future. Keep up the great work. 😊

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

In Brazil it's all written in 2/4. This resembles the feeling of the downbeat far better. The Surdo (the huge drum you see during the Carnival in the street parades) is being played on these beats, as is the bass guitar.

[@HamishGarland]

Samba is generally accepted as being in 2/4, but it's commonly written in 4/4 as this better represents the way the beat is divided. The surdo (in particular the terceiro or 3rd surdo in a bateria) has two alternating phrases that are played on the second half of the bar in 2/4. If you write it in 4/4, it shows how this is actually just one repeating rhythm that takes place over 4 beats rather than two separate parts. The caixa, agogo, repinique, and tamborim also have patterns that are 4 beats long. Consequently everyone in the bateria understands samba in 4 and counts in 4, despite what the experts say about it.

[@davidbacci9735]

[@antonionekane9594]

Hello Sandra. Can you make a video of "Menina Flor" by Luiz Bonfa?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Not sure it's popular enough.

[@TiqueO6]

OK yes this song seems to be mainly played this way it’s kind of a jazz Samba Bolsa but, it’s important to know that most samba tunes are highly influenced by the rhythm called Partido Alto Which you were playing on the guitar but most of the time the chord changes would be starting “halfway” through the rhythmic pattern compared to what you have in this song clip. For maybe it’s better said that the rhythm would be starting from the halfway point compared to how you have it in relation to the chord changes. So most Brazilian melodies are written so they do not land on the “downbeat” or beat “one” is not played as much by the Brazilian Guitar and Percussion instruments as much but beat is played (if you put the pattern into a full 4 beat measure). So if you take the chord changes of the samba like this one in the clip but play them starting with the rhythm displaced by 1/2 pattern it’s more typically Brazilian. Brazilian guitar players and Cavaqiño players and percussion players have tricks on how they enter without playing the “down” look at Michael D Miranda’s KZbin clips on the rhythm but watch them all the way through because he explains it best all the way halfway through his main tutorial. He shows examples how it’s done on Guitar and Cavaqiño and Percussion as well.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you for your inside view! I used O Barquinho just as an example to showcase the Bissa Rhythms. I could have picked any other song. It's not about the song here, but about the rhythm.

[@TiqueO6]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Yes it’s a very good and clear lesson about that song. As far as the rhythm, it could be pointed out that most of the time in Sambas are phrased, as far as the melody and chord changes are concerned, “reversed” rhythmically from the example in the clip.

[@pamagee2011]

So, after you start to master the chords, you better live here for a while. That right hand is just as important.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

What do you mean by "You better live here"?

[@pamagee2011]

I mean repeat this lesson until you understand and can play the pattern, the chord change at the end of the first bar, and the alternating bass. I’m watching for the fourth time today. I think I’ve got it! I have learned several bossa nova songs without being concerned about the rhythm pattern, thinking all I had to learn were the chords. Mistake. Now I have to go back and add the elements you are teaching here.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Oh, I see! Yes, that's a great way to practice, just a bit at a time. Continuity pays off big time!

Sorry but not for beginners. Look at the first chord, that I cannot even begin to hold. Why not start on an open cord or GM7 or something easy? No good. Maybe you understand what I mean.

Well, this is a jazz channel, so with begiiners I mean Jazz beginnets, not guutar beginners. We don't use open chords in Jazz. But the chords don't really matter here. It's about the rhythm for this lesson. You can really apply the rhythm pattern to any chord. Just try with the ones you know and later apply jt to jazz chords. Bossa uses jazz chords exclusevly.
