I was working on “Another Saturday Night” moving on to “The Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and to day it’s “Wave” by Jobim. Hard to stick with one piece of music.
Thanks Jeff. I listened to the piano Bossa Nova. There’s a lot to contend with, the count, the beat, the rhythms, the melody, the saxophone keys, and on down the road man and boy. I ordered some Stan Getz music. When I use Stan Getz the melody gets lost in tricky fingering.
Hi William, it looks like a very tricky rhythm to play. One chap said that we have to first master the Samba before tackling Bossa Nova.
I think you’re very brave, but you do live closer to Brazil. I’m still trying to get my ordinary 4/4 timing constant – lol.
6/8 timing – that’s tricky, you can either count 6 beats to a bar or 2 beats to the bar. If you play and count 6 beats or play and count 2 beats, they can change the way you groove along the beat, especially if the drummer is play 2 beats to the bar,
