Bossa Nova Bass Lines A Beginners Guide
Lesson Material and Backing Track Available Here: http://bit.ly/2Ona7Qo
This week we’re looking at how to play Bossa Nova bass lines. We’re breaking down the most popular Bossa Nova, The Girl From Ipanema by Antonio Carlos Jobim (most famously sung by Astrud Gilberto).
We’re going to look at a few different ways of playing a basic groove through a bossa nova while following a chord chart before looking at some rhythmic and melodic variations you can use for creating some interest. Have fun!

Exelente clase! Saludos desde Uruguay.
Great lesson: from simple basics to all sorts of wonderful possibilities.
I came here becaus my pedal provides not only metronome, but all kinds of rhythms. When I noodled around to the bossa rhythm, I wondered how to use this rhythm in the "correct" way.
Your lesson came up on the search: GREAT lesson!
I might spend many days and even weeks just to get it all into my system.
Thank you so much for taking me into Bossa territory.
Hi mark great video
Wow, this is gold. A very good introduction for me! I've started going to a bar with life jams, and the guys there play bossa nova occasionally, one day I'm gonna bring my bass and play along.
Thank you very much!!
Great lesson, thank you for sharing. It's amazing just how many different ways there are to play a root-fifth bassline when you move those notes around the measure.
Gracias
quite good, mate! Simple and accurate; I like the choices!
Best, Bart
Anyone who’s a fan of Stone Temple Pilots knows Robert & Dean Deleo wrote much of the bands original music on bossanova…
Thanks for the lesson ????
So good! Thanks for sharing!
Wish I saw this about 12 hours ago. Had to improvise some bossa nova today and had no clue what I was doing lol
Amy winehouse taught me this song
J adore ❤❤
Doing the “a-one, a-two” rhythm pattern the entire time is very jarring. Brazilian music is very syncopated with anticipations. If everybody in the rhythm section is anticipating and syncopating, it becomes too busy. It starts sounding like Americans playing bossa nova, instead of Brazilians playing bossa nova.
To get the feel right, the bass really needs to be solid and play downbeats, that way you have a solid foundation which the syncopated patterns can juxtapose against.
At most, bass players should do the “a-one, a-two” rhythm no more than 10-15% of the time. They can still anticipate, but hold out the quarter notes. If everybody plays busy and syncopated, then it loses that happy go lucky laid back Brazilian feel.
Playing like this dude will definitely get you through the gig, and there is nothing wrong with it per se.
But he’s playing Brazilian music with a western point of view.
This is a great video. I have a large but specific list of ideas to practice to add into my bass repertoire. Thanks for the help and being awesome! ✌️
