How to Play Bossa Nova Guitar - Jobim Style

You’re the best, Rick

Anyone interested in bossa-nova guitar should look up a channel here by Marcos Kaiser, who, besides being an amazing guitarrist has the best arrangements for BraIlian music of anyone I can think of

I absolutely love bossa nova

Would love to see more of these lessons on your channel, Rick. Don’t get me wrong, I love the interviews, etc., as well.

My hand started cramping trying the chords. It's just shapes im not used to

does it matter that I do the, "thumb over" trick for those tricky decending chords in the B-section?

Not helpful at at, Rick

Trying to add the melody I thought I was going crazy until I realized these are the chords for when it's in Db! So the first chord is actually Db69/Ab, right? But for most folks that would complicate the learning

6:51 can someone explain what he is saying from a music theory perspective when he says “move up a fifth” please?

the first chord is Ab6/9...... thats wrong its played in Db6/9 with the 5th in Bass, second chord is not Bbmin6 but Eb7/9 with 5th in Bass,,,etc did nobody notice the wrong chord names?

Thank you Rick!

Why is the second chord not II7/9 root Bb (Eb 7/9 / Bb)?

Thank you, Rick.

Rick, I've been a long-time subscriber, and I love you, the man and the musician! But the last time you talked about bossa nova was with Dominic Miller. Ouch! He wasn't into it rhythmically at all! You're more sober and more accurate, but they're not quite the right chords. That said, it's still very correct and it helps a lot of people, so bravo! For your entire body of work. A little tip for learning how to pronounce Joao Gilberto, think about it in French, Jean Gilbert.😄
Anyway, thank you for what you do for music, the real kind, the kind with instruments and men who study to use them with heart! Love from Paris.

Nice lesson but the chord notation is all wrong. Come on you had one job!

He should play it in F and put the melody on top, If he can. This is a waste of your time

A friend asked me to teach her son bossa nova guitar and this came up in my search. That was about 7 years ago .I think I subscribed around the half million mark and since then have watched so many interesting videos from you Rick. Thank you from a 73 year old living in New Zealand.

There really should be a monument built somewhere for this guy. Brilliant person. Learned a lot from his videos. Keep it up Rick. Superb.

this is a very helpful tutorial! the chord symbols are throwing me; even though i know they technically fit the notes being played, my ear so clearly attunes to the Db6/9 (I) -> Eb9 (II) -> Ebm9 (ii) -> D9 (tritone sub of V) -> Db6/9 (I) movement, where each of these chords is played with the 5th in the bass. regardless, thank you for this overview!

Nothing to do with this, but isn't it about time for an interview with Jack Cassidy?

Bossa Nova has always been such a calming style of music

My most favorite content from Rick Beato

Dang. Now I gotta figure it out left-handed.

Just what I needed. You're the best.

Good teacher, I think he has the patience and makes it very simple.
I'm old with arthritis but still trying to learn.
Thank you.

Awesome ❤😊

Best lesson I've found on this song 🎸👍

YT's algo thought I might like this video and it was right. I wasn't following Rick seven years ago so it's really cool to see this.

Question: the first chord Ab6/9 to me looks like Db6/9 /Ab in other words Db 6/9 with the fifth Ab in the bass. Am I looking at it incorrectly?

Don't forget Aguas De Marco with its awesome chord progression!

Pardon, can anyone explain why Ebm9/Bb isn't GbM7 in first inversion?

FINALLY A VIDEO WITH THE RIGHT CHORDS

Wow this was a bit easier than I thought.. I watched vid first and was confused then I played it and other than major 6 shape it wasn't too bad.

Now it's just getting the chord transitions smooth.

Awesome tutorial

Rick, who made your classical guitar? Why aren't there maker's marks on the neck of classical guitars? So glad you a player with depth - - no style escapes you.

May you offer us a PDF chords document of the music you've played on this video?

3rd key I’ve seen this song in.

This is where figured bass definitely helps 😂😂

Rick, I have had a few sleepless night over this video. I was working through the chords, comparing the real book version, listening to you and how you describe this and also came across your friend Adam Neely's analysis of the song. This is where I am stuck. The 2nd chord, the Bbm6 chord is interpreted by all the versions that I see out there on the internet as Bb7, including Adam. Perhaps I am missing something but why is everyone "hearing the Major 3rd when you are clearly hearing the minor 3rd. Maybe you and Adam should do a cage match to sort this out. I would love to hear your analysis of this.

Thank you so much for giving that simple tutorial. I'm a beginner in bossa nova. I can play 3 songs (+ singing of course), La rua Madureira, Jardin d'hiver, Samba Saravah (french version). I want to learn " la fille d'ipanema" also in frensh and in that key. My inglish is too bad to sing 🤣

Thar B Flat 7 flatten 5th chord was invented by a sadist.
