- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Bossa Nova Songs and Bossa Nova Grooves are really great to check out, and a lot of fun to play. They are also something you study if you want to learn Jazz guitar. In this video, I am going to give you five examples of grooves that you can learn. I will go over them starting from very basic and then make it more and more complicated and I am going to demonstrate how they sound using some songs so you can then easily add to your repertoire.

My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

How do you work on rhythms and patterns like these, and do you have a favorite?

I create patterns and rhytms with the feel or sensation of the chord sound, but i want to learn more about "genre" standars, thanks for share your videos, are amazing
Q
Jens! Thank you for this lesson! I'm really getting alot out of this one. Love this Bossa material
Jens what kind of Nylon String Guitar is that? I like the tone and Cutaway.
You forgot about one of the most important thing in brazilian bossa nova, the duble bass!!!
idk wtf im doing here i play the piano
The rhythms are the same...
I don't play anything 😂but I still here
Same. Well I do play both but it’s all the same stuff just use inversions at your discretion I guess
As a bassist, I'm going to play all this on my bass. And I'm going to butcher it. So here, take that!
That's the spirit!
🤣
😂I like the self confidence
The 7th chord voicings will make you rip a tendon
how'd it go?
As a Brazilian I feel honoured to have you make a video about Bossa Nova, largely forgotten in Brazil nowadays, unfortunately!
Thanks, mate!
Interesting to find your comment because watching this great video i began wondering about the culture of which it emerged from. What i wonder would inspire rythmns like this?
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD Samba drums. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/n4-Xp5A92Cg/v-deo.html
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD ua-cam.com/video/TXjvwQDfnTI/v-deo.html this video gives a good insight of the cultural scenario Brazil was going through during the time Bossa Nova was invented
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD pain
@@BECOMEASALITTLECHILD late here, but
Sure samba,
But would recommend jammin 3against4 polyrhythm. Not just as a pattern but as a flow/feel so that you also vibe the 16ths notes in a bar with 3note groupings. Kinda diluting the bar notion and bringing it back again but multiheaded
For anyone watching this video: If you want to learn this style, make sure to listen to as much Joao Gilberto as you can, even though he was not really a jazz musician. In fact, you should do it even if you don't want to learn this style, because Joao played (and sang!) so beautifully. Have a listen to his eponymous solo album from 1973, which is mostly just vocals, guitar and light percussion. His version of "Aguas de Marco" is magical, mesmerizing and mindblowing. In a jazz context, his album with Stan Getz is of course required listening.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!
Yes! The AUTHENTIC Brazilian rhythmic Bossa Nova feel & touch! 💚💙💜
Yeah, you don't have Bossa Novas without Joao Gilbert, he's a must listen for guitarists. A god amongst men in a musical context.
... also, if you listen to his singing phrasing you can notice how unpredictable & tender he does it. 💜💙
@@ximalpopoca735 The way Joao was able to push and pull the rhythm with his voice against his guitar comping leads me to believe he had two brains!
“The first one is... C6/9”
Me: Nice.
I love how he liked this comment
Ni/ce
Intervals. With standard tunning Fret 3 String 5 is a C. From this, Major scale: 3-5 ( Tonic, First interval), 5-5 ( Second interval, D-not used yet). Next string: Fret2, String4: E (third interval), and because of this is a Major chord... go on: fret2 string 3: A-> there we have the 6. In the same string fret 5 we have the C again, the octave of the tonic , not played, and the last, string 2, fret 3, D, would be the second, but after the octave is counted like the nineth . Seems complicated but after you draw it and you play it is easier. I'm just a fan, hope to help and you to enjoy
@@fersk3157 thanks for the helpful info 👍 sadly i must put into light that the comment was intended to be a dirty joke in the first place.
Damn shots fired at pianists and bassists
We need more drama with Jazz on the internet :)
@@JensLarsen im a bassist and i dont know how to feel about this
@@moustaphabalde7581 Maybe ask your sense of humour?
Dave 504 : Unbelievable
@@igoigo8656 At least he has a sense of humor :D
Jens, your generosity in freely providing video lessons that are so carefully produced is SO appreciated! You are a UA-cam hero!! And, Brazilian music is a gift to the world!
You are so welcome!
Just started getting into playing Brazilian guitar grooves and Jens goes and drops this in my subscription box
Glad it was at the right time :)
Excuse me, WHERE can i buy any beginner jazz guitar??
@@iitsantoine Thomann?
check out Guinga and Jean Charnaux , also, Tardelli of course
Jens’ advice is amazing! If you’re a classical guitarist, these patterns are EASY!!! LOVE that you showed Nelson!!! He is a GOD! Got his book autographed by a good friend who knows him!!!
Thank you 🙂
I’ve been a pop, rock and blues player forever and I’ve felt like jazz was indecipherable until now. Thank you!
Excellent explanation! I tell you that as a Brazilian who listen to bossa nova since I was a little child in the 70’s. And, just to let you know, Joäo Bosco, the bearded guitar players is my neighbor, and Nelson Faria a very famous Brazilian guitar player and teacher and also leaves close to me! Happy to see both on your channel. Congrats and thank you very much!
Thanks, Jens. I LOVE latin rhythms on a classical. This was an awesome lesson that I think many folks will grasp and use even if they have not played this style before.
Glad you like it 🙂
A very well structured lesson and lots of clear info to practice on the classical guitar. The demonstrations are presented in a way that is instantly understandable and I can see where Jens's fingers are put on the fretboard. Thank you !!
Glad that it is useful 🙂
I was literally just thinking that I needed to find a lesson to learn bossa nova patterns. This is awesome!
Absolutely amazing video, as always!! Thanks Jens for your great work and all that you share!
Thank you very much Pedro! Really great to hear from a colleague! :)
Just a great lesson Jens. I love the intermediate level you teach at, six months ago I was struggling to follow it but now it's all starting to make sense. Muchos gracias amigo !
Thank you for this lesson Jens! I found myself improvising chord progressions after listening to the first three quarters. Had to pick the guitar up and play! Going back to listen to the final part to work on learning the 3 layer idea. Ty again!
Thank you for this! These chords have such a unique flavor i don’t encounter in the music i usually play, so it’s very nice to see them spelled out so I can add them to my vocabulary.
Amazing! Congrats! I'm a Brazilian and this piece is quite near the way we play and think about harmony. God bless you, Sir.
Wonderful!
Jens, beautifully played and explained. Thanks so much for posting this.
This guy roasted a whole band
Music from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Very helpful. Thank you Jens!
Man, May the heavens bless this dude, I just Got into Jazz class In my school and this will probably give me a heads up or A helpful starter.
That's great go for it :)
Excellent lesson Jens and great chord work. Bossa Nova is so mesmerizing. My favorite song to play is Corcovado.
Great video Jens as always. Thank you !
Oh boy, possibly my favorite style : ) I'll have to have a "rational gaze" at this video.
Thanks again.
Go for it!
This video was awesome in so many ways, i feel your inspiration while i watch this video
Wanna get more into jazz and your videos are really helpful, thank you!
genial, llevo días seguidos observando el video y cada día aprendo algo nuevo, excelente maestro!!! gracias. saludos desde Argentina
I'm not much of a jazz player.I've struggled with the bossa Nova syncopations ever since I picked up the guitar and I just realized I can finally do them.I hope it will help me elsewhere as well.
So thank you very much for this
That's really great! Go for it! 🙂
It’s a subtle thing, but as watching this my brain heard D# and also Eb simultaneously instead of just one and also another. Means a lot more than I can put into words, but mostly I mean daily to say thank you for these videos through practicing and commenting :)
I remember viewing this on my old account but a nice reminder is always welcome as I am still pretty unfamiliar with chords in general but I'm a huge fan of songs like blue bossa. Especially played by either Pat or Emily. I remember finding a CD of Stan getz with some pretty grieving bossa beats but this is a great way to try to incorporate it into my own playing. Thanks again.
this is delightful, thank you
This was so helpful, and it sounds so beautiful! :)
Just what I've been looking for lately thaaanks
You're a good drill instructor your the guitar teacher that I never had .... the youth is lucky to have you I hope they appreciate how lucky they are
Thank you!
Perfect timing! I began working on bossa rhythms recently. Thank You Jens!
You're very welcome! Go for it :)
Wow, thanks for this! I've been waiting for you to do bossa nova rhythms...thanks!
Glad you like it Blaine!
Hi Jens, awesome video! I just want to mention that in that video of Nelson Faria and Joao Bosco they are playing a rhythm called "Partido Alto", which is a type of Samba. It's a quite different approach to Brazilian Music. This type of rhythm comes usually from a percussive instrument (we try to emulate the rhythm in the acoustic guitar playing), this one in specific comes from a brazilian instrument called "Pandeiro", or tambourine in english!
Keep up with the great video and lessons!
Cheers from Brazil.
Thanks! Yes I know, I think I mention it in the video too, or at least in the article on my site.
Not only helpful and clear, the visuals are top notch! Love the quality and content sir. Keep on going!
Thank you! I will do my best :)
Ive always wanted to play like this. Think its time i put the effort in, I'll be coming back to this video
Sweet. Bossa nova is way more colourfull when playing with the voicing and bass line, you did a great job in explaining how to think of this by applying different rythmic patterns.
Jens,.... i have a fancy for tasty jazz/country/funk spices to bolster my love of Heavy Metal guitar.
This is the 4th time one of your videos has leapt into my feed and i LOVE it.
I wanted to say thanks for the specific examples you've chosen,... all of them so far have delighted me in that they're EXACTLY what i want to know.
thanks SO much!
Wow, production quality on your vids has seriously improved Jens, great lesson, some really useful stuff here. Thanks a mil. :)
Thank you 🙂
So cool to see this make a scene here! Really interesting style definitely!
Glad you like it, RC!
Kind Thanks for this video! We do a couple Bossa Nova songs and having these will help my chops and bring some unique and different feel to the song.
Well job Jens! Thank you very much. Just what I was searching for! Very well produced. I'm starting as a teacher to produce some videos too and this inspired me a lot!
Very nice ! I am mainly a blues & rock player, but love all styles of playing, I can't wait to play around with this teaching,,, I love it ! Very romantic and laid back ! TY so much ! Just awesome ! 😁👍💕💕💕
Go for it!
I learn everytime I watch you lessons, thx Jens
Glad to hear that 🙂
Thank you Jens! Great video, now I finally understand what I'm attempting to play 😄
genius how you construct the ideas is a master piece , to me its beyond music , thank you
Thank you! :)
I really needed this. Thank you Jens!!
Glad you like it 🙂
You are a very excellent and generous player and teacher. Thank you.
Thank you very much!

Thank you for sharing
Excellent video thank you !!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing video! Really glad that I’ve been able to play these patterns by easily listening and learning tons of songs.
Glad you like them!
good vid & very well organized thanks
I play some riffs every morning before heading into the *Messy Times* studio! Thanks, Jens!
Glad you like it 🙂
Excellent lesson. Thank you. I’ve been playing the basic while trying to wrap my brain and fingers around the more complex ones. Seeing your fingers helps a lot.
That sounds like a good approach 👍
Loved the lesson! Please post more bossa nova lessons!
Thank you! I will keep that in mind. Glad you liked it 🙂
Exelente video...
I have big fingers, a steel string, and started playing two days ago. Bossa Nova is my favorite thing to listen to on a guitar so I'm starting here ☺️
Go for it 🙂
@@JensLarsenisn’t this a bit hard for a complete beginner? 😅
First video from this channel I am watching and I love it! You've very good at explaining, and the quality of the video + your musicianship earned yourself a new sub :)
Awesome, thank you!
MAJOR shade thrown at bass players. Niiice!
Haha! I would think they have a sense of humor :)
@@JensLarsen nah, its okay, we just expect it from pompous guitarists who like to show of thier skills rather than play the song... ( the look on thier faces when you say they're too busy on the lead)
Night and day!
That's just what I've been thinking of, nice connection.
Thanks for the video as it's nice to feel the Brazilian flavour.
Just what's needed deese days!
Glad to hear that Glenn 🙂
Wow sick lesson!
Thanks Jens. An informative tutorial.
You are very welcome Brett
After playin guitar for a few years now ive finally takin an interest in learnin scales and chord progessions instead of just tryin to learn songs i like and your videos have been really helpful
Bossa Nova is slowly becomin my favorite style
Great! Go for it 😁
If you want to dig deeper into this then maybe this playlist:ua-cam.com/video/zH4uQYgDotM/v-deo.html or the (free) study guide on my website are useful.
Hi Jens, thanks alot for your videos, always so clear and inspired. Especially this one with smart explanations on how to groove, may be the hardest thing when paying music... I am restarting music after a 40 years break ;) thanks for you help ! Vincent.
Thanks for making such an inspirational video. My Brazilian wife actually recognized the groove I'm working on 🎶😂
Thank you, this was an excellent video and I can immediately start applying some of these to my playing - very clearly explained and demo'd.
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot !
I really appreciate this video.
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂
thanks so much for this video! educational and helpful while remaining entertaining. very clear and easy to understand. refreshing and simple editing too which was also very helpful.
You're very welcome!

Thanks and welcome! :)
Good video Lars, I had been stuck on the guitar for years and now I've been watching your videos for a week and practicing I've made progress like never before. I still have a long way to go and it motivates me that people like you upload these free videos for the love of art and Jazz.
just discovered your channel - amazing! quality content, funny, and TABS!
Glad you like them!
Such an amazing lesson. Thanks!
Glad it was useful 🙂
Enjoyed the video! Would love to see more Bossa Nova videos and how to use articulations when playing the melody and solos in jazz.
Amazing...getting better all the time!
Thank you 🙂
thank's a lot for this one Jens. I'm trying to make sense of the various bossa / samba rythms, and yeah, I am struggling... This helps a lot👌🏻.
Great! Go for it!
Thanks for the video teacher!!
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂
The high accents in the last groove seems to evoke the sound of a high-pitched percussion instrument like agogo bells.
Yes, it's certainly coming out of percussion instruments
Very good lesson! "ótima aula!"
Thank you 🙂
Great knowledge about jazz and bossa nova from native land
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much. That was really enlighting!
Glad it was useful 🙂
Excellent information. I'm not a guitarist but this really helped me to start thinking about how to compose this kind of music. Really thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
