Bossa Nova Guitar Lesson #35: Bossa Nova Swing
in:
Chovendo na Roseira (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

This lesson is based on recording by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina, recorded on Elis & Tom album from 1974
as well as some later recording made by Oscar Castro Neves who also participated on Elis & Tom album.

The rhythm was originally labeled by Jobim as 'valsa jazz' (jazz waltz). It shows the usage of swing in bossa nova songs. Please note that in swing two eight notes are played approximately as a triplet that consists of a quarter note and an eight note, as indicated above the rhythm box.

Chord on the first beat is followed by a pause, so it is deliberately muted, while the chord played on the third beat is being left for as long as possible, on some occasions even until the next beat, that is played by legato.
