How to Practice Blue Bossa

[@storm1968eu]

works for every instrument! each step is important and needs (a whole lot of) time before moving to the next one. realising that learning jazz takes time and a lot of work made a big difference for me personaly and my learning experience.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

And the journey can be fun every step of the way!

I am currently teaching Blue Bossa in my Jazz Improvisation class. I can't wait to show them this video. My high school students already know how to read, so that's not a problem. Everything that you have said, I have said in my class. This information applies to every jazz tune. Love it! Thanks!

[@simonwilliams7608]

So clear and easy to follow. I've long been one of those players you mentioned that puts on a backing track and basically just attempts to find a way through it by ear. This approach is just what I need. Thanks.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

You're welcome!

[@newwester]

This is a great video, Brent. You really cover the whole exercise in one shot. There are literally months of work here. More like this please!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@BruceWilsonVideo]

Great job, Brent! You are making Jazz more accessible for so many!🎉

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks Bruce! Happy to do it

[@karlderdelinckx]

Would be so nice to have you’re chord analyses available in the play along apps. So we can see the numerals instead of chords and the scales we can use.

[@zendobrendo0001]

Thank you for this and the other one specifically about the changes. Very helpful teaching technique and visuals.

Glad to be of help Bruno!

[@jensbomholt4529]

Beautiful! Great! I am not on the level to use it - yet - but it is a great and very clear lesson. Your instrument and the sound you produce are wonderful!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks Jens! I wonder, even though you say you aren’t quite at the level yet, what’s one thing you could take away and apply?

[@jensbomholt4529]

@@Learnjazzstandards I apply the approaches: both the chromatic and diatonic approaches. So far, I work / play with the blues chord progression. As I also keep working on my fretboard fluency (I play bass) and on the whole circle of 4ths / 5ths, I will soon no loger be scared of those chords like Ebmin7 and following. At least, the roman numerals are already helpful. ... I will get there!

Glad to hear John!

[@obus4186]

I will learn arpeggios, emphasize chord tones on the downbeat only to listen later to a solo which doesnt seem to pay attention to what the chords are and they also like to play the 4th (11th) interval on strong beats

[@Brendan99349]

Great backing track, is that Band in a Box?

[@lesliesmith4501]

very useful.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

thanx a lot

[@Learnjazzstandards]

My pleasure!

[@鼻炎無為]

Check out the version of Blue Bossa: Joe Henderson's 'Live in Japan.'

[@arosalesmusic]

Here is my heresy though: I love to play the B natural during the G7#5 chord (Db#9) in the melody. I get strange looks , but I think it sounds cool. 🤣

[@jasonfnorth]

Beautiful guitar. What is it? Great lesson, thanks Brent!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks! You can find the details about the guitar in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56ViZV3i6lse8U

[@jasonfnorth]

@@Learnjazzstandards thank you for the reply! You are awesome!

[@garyrochussen3430]

Very nice presentation. Unusual guitar... What the hell is that???

[@GuitarSteve-ud5bz]

6.16 On the TAB are G B Eb, but You can play G B D!?

[@joaovitordecastro1772]

Never heard someone playing that Bb7

[@BillAnon]

Gotta get used to that 3rd chord.

[@Marco-jftsj]

Frrrrr never even heard ab that chord

[@SaxSpy]

i feel like dex didnt use it but henderson did but now ill have to go listen again

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Yeah a lot of people skip it, but it’s important!

[@dominicellis1867]

It’s always harder to say ii then V in a ii V I.

[@siemekkisiel8963]

Aha. Bb7

[@forjas-x6i]

[@TomTabaczynski]

Joao Gilberto never played Blue Bossa lol. It's not a Brazilian tune. You could learn Giberto's picking pattern and to pronounce his name quite easily. Also, Manha de Carnaval. It's not that difficult. I enjoy your courses guys, but considering how many Brazilian tunes are jazz standards, putting in some time would not be asking too much, considering.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Hey there! We weren’t referring to Joao Gilberto playing Blue Bossa - we were talking about Bossa Nova comping patterns, important to make that clarification. Also important to note Gilberto doesn’t have one picking pattern to learn. So learning a basic pattern is a starting place to expand rhythmically from there. Hope that makes sense!

[@robertgreen3702]

He was talking about the way to comp.

[@Hhenriette]

great video lesson. thanks very much!! @LearnJazzStandards Brent :))
