The EASY way to play Bossa Nova (Romero Lubambo)

[@sitarnut]

Best lesson I've ever seen on Bossa Nova Rhythm.. thank you Sir...

[@spaziojobim]

Finally someone who talks about the basic patterns of Bossa Nova. BUT what Romero Lubambo is playing is a VARIATION of the basic rhythm. I remember you, gentlemen, that Bossa Nova is 2/4, not 4/4.

[@rennieman7803]

From a number of sources: "Samba is usually notated in 2/4 using 16th notes, while due to its slower tempo and relationship to jazz music, bossa nova is commonly notated in 4/4 using 8th notes.". Not much difference, and most Americans are more comfortable with 4/4.

[@GladmanNow]

Where can I get some of this “steadiness”? I am joking but it is a long journey for this North American. Romero, I have followed your teaching through various videos since even before the internet. Thanks for your guidance. The last five years I have been with a samba drum teacher. Maybe now I am closer to a gentle steadiness.

[@isaacbeen2087]

@@rennieman7803 The distinction is quite important... two beats per bar, no? as opposed to four? I would say 2/2 is more appropriate than 4/4. Ragtime was always notated in 2/4 with sixteenths, and bluegrass very often the same... I think "cut time" is the most appropriate in any case. The great jazz educator Barry Harris did often say "jazz lives in eighth notes," so, yes, that's perhaps an important consideration.

Indeed a masterful lesson .Thanks

[@gogotrololo]

this is a diamond piece of lesson for a beginner!

[@HelioLagoJr]

This is the kind of information that I´ve never seen on KZbin. Brazilian are used to listening to samba and make this connection between percussion instrument and emulate this with the right hand when playing bossa nova.

Exellent teacher , great respect , saludos de Slovenia :-).

[@phpfunkdotcom]

Thanks for this awesome lesson. Regarding the pattern @6:30 on down beat of two I do not think chord is played, only the bass note; this makes for a more natural feeling pattern IMHO where chord and bass are only played together on beat 1.

Thank you Maestro for this valuable lesson.

[@karmila9]

Poderia postar informações do curso em português Mestre, qual o público alvo, se é vitalício? Etc👍👍👍

[@joaogamboa7653]

Kamila, no PC, você pode ativar a legenda em inglês clicando em (CC), em seguida settings, opção auto-translate, e idioma português. A tradução não é perfeita, mas ajuda.

[@franciscoaragao5398]

Neste vídeo em particular a tradução automática, CC, está muito boa. Mesmo assim se precisar pode me perguntar, Kamila.

[@danilo7cordas]

Romero , qual captador e pré amplificador que você usa ?

[@vhahsijajssuud9229]

is the course good for beginners? like actual beginners who can only play normal chords

[@gs.daniel87]

this video is a very good lesson to learn the pattern. As he said in other words, you have to stop the urge to play crazy with the bass - It has to be steady, marking the time like the Surdo instrument does - it is actually a discipline challenge

[@Sam-pp2it]

I think it would be approachable for a beginner to tap out the rhythm, as he does at 4:33. When that feels comfortable, it can be fun to apply that rhythm to whatever chords you’d like. Maybe starting with 1 chord vamp and then a 2 chord sequence until the pattern isn’t so taxing, and then apply to full songs. If that is overwhelming, just start with the bass line and try a similar process. Just my thoughts.

[@isaacbeen2087]

At around 6:39, the sheet music unfortunately does not match what he's playing. It's very close though! you just have to take out the upper chord on beat two...whoever is adding the music needs to pay more attention!

[@lastorianostra8173]

Lubambo and Peppino di Capri are very similar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@silviodel]

[@robertsherrylyoung4653]

Sorry, but for beginners like me, I don't know which finger hits which string😢

[@joseph2832]

Do you need nails for this style of play?
