Renato,

Bossa Nova rhythms are awesome and fun to play. They are bright and make people want to get up and dance.

Early in my playing a teacher taught me a nice right hand technique to play bossa nova. We would play Wave, Girl from Ipanema, One Note Samba and few others I don't quite remember.

Excuse my lack of Spanish, amigo.

Hi BEADGCF (a circle of fifths?)
Nice to talk with you.
Cool that you play these songs. Me too. I'm a Brazilian guitar player and I love play songs by Tom Jobim. I play songs by Baden Powell also and others solos too. Do you know Baden?

Don't worry about Spanish I don't speak it too.
Hugs

My interest in music moved more to chord solos and stuff from the likes of Ted Greene. Actually I played bass for several decades in up tempo blues rock bands but my age is catching up with me and I like being home more.

FYI: http://www.tedgreene.com/fromstudents/default.asp

So I play much more guitar. Back to my roots.

I am very fortunate to hear a local classical guitar player Edgar Cruz often. He lives close and plays in a small club near my home. My wife and I love to hear him play. There is definitely a great lesson to be had each time I watch him play live. But that is as close as I get to bossa nova and latin music these days.

Brazil speaks Portuguese! Oh, well. Sometimes my ignorance is overwhelming.

I love Bossa Nova. I am not very knowledgeable about Brazilian music, but my classical guitar teacher had lived in Brazil for many years to study Brazilian guitar, she he taught me a little bit of Bossa Nova along with classical and flamenco.

One thing I love about playing classical guitar (referring to the instrument, not the music genre) is that it can do true classical period music, romantic period guitar (aka classical guitar), flamenco, and jazz/bossa nova all very well. It is a very versatile instrument, and I find myself playing jazz and Bossa Nova more often than romantic guitar on it.

Welcome to the forum. I think you will find that classical guitar players in general have at least some interested in Brazilian guitar. It is certainly a part of the instrument.

Default bossa nova

I like Bossa Nova and Latin rhythms very much but I am new to it.
My first piece was "Sunrise" by Scott Ouellette and plan to start working on "Duendes Mulatos" by Carlos Moscardini after I finish my current project (Julia Florida, Barrios-Mangore).
I believe those two would be considered Bossa Nova. But hey, I have been wrong in the past

And I like the music of Villa-Lobos of which I play Etude 1

Thanks for all comments,
As a lover and teacher I'm glad you know and likes Brazilian music.
So, I would like to share a video in which I was playing my version for Lamentos do Morro by Garoto. The record session was done quickly in the break between two lessons.
Garoto is a nickname of Anibal Augusto Sardinha, a Brazilian composer who lived from 1915 to 1955. He composed a lot of songs which afterwards were played by Raphael Rabelo, Baden Powell, Paulo Bellinati and many others.
Comments are welcome.
I hope you enjoy.
Hugs

Great video!

I don't know how to play any bossa nova or samba but I would very much like to learn.

It's a style that seems like it was just made to be played on a nylon string guitar.

Listening to Charlie Byrd play Brazilian music back in the early sixties is what influenced me to change from electric to Spanish guitar. It's still my favorite music genre.

Cool

LOVE Brazilian-

don't know a lot about the classical aspect- but have CDs by Nara Leao, Sylvia Telles and Sergio Mendes and Brazill 66-

I have a book for classical with a CD but it's always been a bit beyond me- rather quick- and I haven't gotten through much of it.

I play a few chords and rhythms- and agree with the posters above- it's particularly all suited for nylon guitar-

put some Nara on as I wrote this- very mellow and great feel.....
