Bossa Nova

[uketuk]

Hello UU!

Does anyone have any recs/advice on learning bossa nova style? I've been trying to learn "The Girl from Ipanema" from Youtube but I'm having a hard time following the strumming patterns/fingerstyle.... If anyone could recommend free lessons or specific YouTubers that worked for them, I would greatly appreciate it!

Aloha,

I like this one a lot. https://www.amazon.com/Ukurere-bosanoba-Tabufutsuki-Kiyoshi-Kobayashi/dp/4285137461

States simple, goes big. Translation via Google translate will help on the way. It's been resting for a bit on my shelf, but I definitely need to give it another go.

Mahalo,
Jan

You need to get the overall feeling & sympocation of this type of music. It's not strictly 4/4 timing - it's sorta like a samba - also heard it described as being like an off-center circle.
