How to Play Bossa Nova Guitar - Jobim Style

[@marciocoelho2481]

I'm a 51 yo Brazilian and grew up with hard rock, metal and punk. It wasn't until I moved abroad that I started appreciating the genius of bossa nova music, and could correct a mistake in my musical education. Funny how sometimes you have to look at something from the outside to really understand it.

[@Sudhirchoudhary2788]

You only understand from outside,only way to understand from inside is through meditation

[@andrejohnson6731]

When I moved to Brazil completely enamoured with all things Brazilian, my new friends made fun of me when I kept buying old LPs of Vinicius de Moraes, Toquinho, Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Baden Powel. They thought Bossa Nova and MPB was lame. To me it was incredibly rich and simply the most beautiful and poetic music I had ever heard. A lot of them rediscovered the beauty of their national treasure through listening to those old vinyl records at my place. Same thing happened to me, though, I had looked outward to the world seeking beauty and only by leaving could I rediscover and appreciate the beauty of my culture’s traditional and folk music.

Hi there from a german metal head, 43 yo… i am learning flamenco guitar at the moment after listening to metal my whole life

[@rodolfomisao123]

Já pensou misturar hard rock com bossa nova? Tipo Ratt com Tom Jobim? Se não me engano o Warren Demartini usa licks oriundos do jazz em seus solos.

Nice job Rick. You are so well rounded as a guitarist. Back in the late 1970's a coworker who was a guitarist born in Columbia convinced me to learn to play classical style with my fingers. Growing up in the 60's I was exposed to Bossa Nova music so I soon was finger picking what I heard on the radio. I never grow tired of this awesome genre of music.

[@vecernicek2]

For everybody interested in Brazilian guitar, Nelson Faria's book (Brazilian guitar book) is a must study. There's no better material.

[@emperorspock3506]

Definitely agreed on the book. It's also highly useful for guitarists interested in Bossa Nova who might need to get at least some idea about other Brazilian music, especially Samba (which is pretty much inevitable). I also recommend the bossanovaguitar channel for inspiration on rhythmic figures (love the classification it offers).

[@damienro0]

Emperor Spock I have skimmed through the book however I felt it focused more on the rhytmic part more than the harmonic part, please correct me if Im wrong.

[@ficaadicapremium]

Thanks for for endorsing my book here. Best, Nelson

[@vecernicek2]

You're most welcome, Nelson! I love your book.

[@ficaadicapremium]

Thanks! I like a lot Rick's videos. Don't agree with the harmonic analysis in this case, but the grip of the chords are good, so , no problem! :-) Best, Nelson

I lived in your country for the better part of 3 years.

[@BrunoPereira-cb9gg]

Hi Rick!!! I'm a bassplayer from Rio de Janeiro and I loved your vídeo! The hardest part of playing Bossa Nova is the right hand patterns. Here in Brazil we play these patterns as a "Slow Samba".

[@Taos1952]

These are beautiful chords and I appreciate the Bossa Nova right hand pattern. I thought this lesson consisted of 7 chords only to see there were actually 13 different chords, so that was a disappointment. I did see that you clarified that at the end that there were 7 "chord patterns". Over all well done. Thank you.

[@tom4137]

Thank you Rick. 50 years of attempting to play and you make it much easier for me.

[@davidpicard5376]

I was learning this music by ear in my early teens stopping and starting my father's Lp Quiet nights and Brazilian Guitars ...guitars unlimited with greats like Laurindo Almeida, Tommy Tedesco, Jack Marshall and so on. Painfully rinse and repeat way to learn but now those songs are etched in my mind to eternity. Wish I had a tutorial like you in this platform back in the seventies!!

[@davidg5629]

Stan Getz was the man! I used to walk home from school at lunch to listen to this record on our console stereo. 'Cat's Eye' (for FM) the whole bit. My mother took me down to the Golden Bear in our 56 Crown Vic to see Stan, Gary Burton, etc...driving down Coast Hwy past the giant grasshoppers pumping oil, and playing the AM radio....60s forever!

One day , at dawn , afterwards a productive musician night (drinking and playing) Tom Jobim and his partner Vinicius de Moraes were seeing , by the windown , people working out on the beach, one look each other and promised they will never do that ahahah. Many say this is a true story. I am from Brazil and always watch your videos Rick thanks for them ,also ,for this teaching.

This is really helpful for me. Previously, I had assumed that Bossa Nova was simply a preset on my Grandfather's Hammond Organ.

Best part....after teaching the bridge cord progressing he says....”And that’s it!” I had to chuckle a bit.

I love this channel and have mad respect for Rick Beato. I’m in awe of the way he’s able to theorize while simplifying! However what really stands out in this video to me is how Rick’s performance sounds quantize (a trait of modern music he has confessed he dislikes), maybe on purpose? Bossa only has a pattern for people who need to dissect it, for those who “get it” there’s no pattern... there’s only feel. Same thing happens with Samba - I’m sure many other styles outside my purview. Fascinating.

[@vincentparrella5668]

5:40 . . . "How can I tell her I love her?" >>> Dm9 sounds much smoother than a Dm7 . . . 5:47 "Yes, I would give my heart gladly" >>> Ebm9 sounds better than Ebm7. The minor sevenths clash with the sung notes IMO. My two cents' worth. Love your tutorials Rick.

[@sitarnut]

If you love Joao Gilberto type into a search engine, "The Man who invented Bossa Nova" Whilst AC Jobim composed all the marvelous tunes we've grown to love, it was Joao who invented the killer rhythms...... best article I've ever read on Joao and Bossa Nova, it's history.

And thanks for your efforts, Rick the Pick

[@benlangbridge9839]

Yes! now it makes sense! Down two whole tones from F.

[@garx0]

the thing is that Db6/9 without root = Ab6/9 without 3rd (exactly same notes) but yes, more correct chords are Db6/9 Eb9 Ebm9 D9 Db6/9, each with no root and its 5th as bass

[@RhapsodyAfternoon]

this is a very helpful tutorial! the chord symbols are throwing me; even though i know they technically fit the notes being played, my ear so clearly attunes to the Db6/9 (I) -> Eb9 (II) -> Ebm9 (ii) -> D9 (tritone sub of V) -> Db6/9 (I) movement, where each of these chords is played with the 5th in the bass. regardless, thank you for this overview!

[@luisamota7160]

As a Brazilian, I really appreciate it! Your videos are the best! 🙂

[@puodzius]

I love the fact that Rick is playing Brazilian music, however he misses the syncopation, which is very important to make the Bossa Nova groove.

[@MarceloPereiraCafeSound]

Sim, ficou "bossa nova de gringo". Ele é um excelente músico, mas ficou faltando algo.

[@krustttyyy]

@@MarceloPereiraCafeSound Acho que não é tanto a sincopa, mais tem a ver com uma sensação de swing, de rítmica fluida, quem estudou como ele em escolas americanas, tem um sentido mais firme de ritmo, mais quadrado.

[@starfishsystems]

That's correct, but we all must learn from the beginning. Here he shows other guitarists how to move in a BASIC way into this particular song form as an example of the general form. Expression comes later.

[@bobnvids]

Great video, very nice understanding of Bossa Nova. Very well chosen instrument and strings, that's a very important part of the whole thing. Congrats, it's by far the best Bossa tutorial I've ever seen by someone not from Brazil. One or two comments if you allow me: For the 6/9 and minor 7th chords with the bass on the E string many people chose to bar everything. It's not as technical but it's a bit easier and helps for quicker changes especially if you're doing rhythm variations on the last "and" beat. For the 7(b5) chords most people use a shape with the bass note on the A string. Personally I'm a bit more used to it and like the voicing better. It does bring a bit more of subtleness to the dynamics. You can (and should) always use your right hand for muting. That's the João Gilberto technique. One last thing: Right hand could be a touch lighter and notes could last a bit less. Sorry for being so picky, once again great video!

[@lukehunnable]

Already pressed like just beause you knew how to pronunce "Jobim" 👏

[@stevenbyrd2188]

Rick, just a couple of corrections: first, João Gilberto was the guitar player who invented the Bossa Nova, not Jobim. He's the one singing the Portuguese lyrics and playing guitar on the record. Jobim's primary instrument was the piano. Also, Vinicius de Moraes cowrote the song -- it's a minor point, but the lyrics are very important in this particular song. Lastly, when can we get a "What makes this song great?" episode of this song?

[@MGM1105]

That's correct !

[@alysonmoreira8119]

Tom Jobim played bossa nova in Rio de Janeiro long before João Gilberto arrived from Juazeiro, in Bahia. Songs like '' Por causa de voce'' with Dolores Duran, had already been written and played in Rio de Janeiro. the Álbum Chega de saudade, it was basically arranged by Tom Jobim who was the musical director of that record, where Joao was going to visit Tom at his place in Poço Fundo. To the musicians of the time, Nana Caymmi for example, where Tom frequented the house, playing for musicians like Maestro Leo perachi, Dorival Caymmi, probably started with the style of bossa nova long before Joao Gilberto arrived in Rio. Ps, sou brasileiro

[@stevenbyrd2188]

@@alysonmoreira8119 Alyson, tudo bem, não fiquei muito claro. I'll write in English, however, for all. You are correct that Jobim is the main composer/chief architect of Bossa Nova, wrote most all of the best songs, etc. He is the genre's biggest and best composer. But Ruy Castro's (a respectable Brazilian journalist, for those unfamiliar with Brazil) book on the History of Bossa Nova, he notes that the signature guitar and singing style came from João Gilberto. He writes that João G spent months in the bathroom in Diamantina, in 1956, perfecting his guitar sound and voice. The new guitar rhythm, he writes, was a simplified version the samba beat, and he perfected a combination of guitar and voice together. Check out Chapter 7 of his book and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@danielcabral7589]

Sobre o primeiro ponto, eu não acredito que é plausível creditar a "Invenção" de um gênero a um indivíduo, seja Tom Jobim, João Gilberto ou qualquer outro. Penso que é mais justo e coerente com a história entender que cada personagem teve seu papel no desenvolvimento da linguagem desse tipo de música, todos relevantes e integrantes de um construto sociocultural.

[@mitchellbell248]

Where does Joao Pernambuco fit into this story? Just Curious as I haven't researched into this topic enough but am familiar with a few Brazilian composers.

Interestingly this is actually in the key of Db. The first chord is actually a Db6/9 with the fifth (Ab) in the bass. One of the best music channels on KZbin, keep them coming Rick!

[@RickBeato]

+fred pg You know Fred, people keep saying that the first chord is Db 6/9 and the second chord is Eb9 with the fifth in the bass but an Ab6/9 is spelled the Ab F C Eb and a Bb min6 is spelled Bb G Db F so everyone that keeps writing in, the chords are what I'm saying they are. If you say play a Bb min6 I will play the chord same as the Ab6/9. Just want to clarify that.

[@andrewcortens6042]

@@RickBeato As much as I loved and profited from this video, I side with Fred and others here. Consider what the bass player plays when he comes in on the second A section on the Getz/Gilberto recording. Or ask yourself: what is the key signature? And think of the last Ab chord of the bridge - it's obvious that it's an altered V chord, leading us back to the I chord, which therefore must be Db.

Hi Rick. I noticed someone commented about the groove of the bossa nova patterns and to check out a video by Romero Lubambo - Simple Secrets of Bossa Nova Guitar. I watched it and the pattern he demonstrates is exactly what you play as the more complex pattern at the end. I checked out the composer Antonio Carlos Jobim playing Girl From Ipanema and it's very similar to your patterns also. I love the simple beauty of the guitar chord voicings and patterns you play here. It's perfectly Brazilian.

[@batitechvdb644]

[@jordanperlow3125]

What can I say Rick Beato other than thank you! I am playing Bossanova!!!

[@johnd.4536]

It would be helpful to include the melody which is the same in any version.The melody note for this version starts on Eb and since the melody starts on the 9th, Eb is the 9th of Db, therefore, this version is in Db and the first chord Ab6/9 is a rootless voicing of Db and the Bbm6 is a rootless voicing of Eb7. The chords need to be moved up a major 3rd to play these chords in the usual key of F. When playing in F the first chord to use is C6/9 and then Dm6 for G7...etc

[@shredbot65]

This is the correct analysis

[@chinua000]

I was frowning and thinking the same thing. These are Jobim's genius subs in Db, seen that way you can appreciate the composition, with its subtle backdoor ii-Vs and layers of substitution. However I understand that the Brazilian way to play this is in Db, the Real book way is in F. From that perspective these are the correct chords, just improperly analyzed. Of course Jobim played in F as well on may recordings, including the most famous ones generally when playing with Americans. In Brazil its Db, more low key and rhythym oriented.

[@via_domus]

@John D. I'm so happy I saw your comment, I've been scratching my head over this all week

[@heinz-joachimblaszczyk5258]

Absolutely right. Rick Beato should have explained it in the video.

Correct! My musical buddies & I perform this song, but move it up to an E maj root, to make use of open strings for alternate guitar voicings, sometimes inserting that low E. The bridge then modulates to an F root
