Specifications:
With their origins in Brazil, "bossa nova" (new music) and "samba" (from "semba" meaning belly-dance) with their syncopated rhythms, rich harmonies, and haunting melodies have become popular music styles the world over. From recordings to the concert stage to restaurants and clubs, these styles of music have been warmly embraced by audiences of all ages. The guitar plays an essential role in bossa nova and samba. Its mellow, percussive quality, and ability to display rich syncopated harmonies, make it the perfect accompaniment and solo instrument for these styles.
The material in this book/CD package is presented in a sequential easy-to-follow format. As well as accompaniment techniques, the book contains sections on chord voicings, common progressions, and playing bossa nova and samba solos. The student is taught how to apply the techniques to sheet music and lead sheets.
(Level=lower to higher intermediate) 48-pages (all examples, excercises & lead sheets transcribed in standard notation with one solo transcribed in tablature). The companion CD includes all performances / examples demonstrated by the author.
