Bossa Nova on the BASS : please avoid this common mistake
The tips I give in this video are based on my transcriptions of numerous Albums of Tom Jobim, João Gilberto and many others. Here are tips and links you may find useful :
👉 In the first recordings of Bossa Nova, the bass is very often played by an upright bass
👉 At the bass you have a strong rhythmical role : work on your rhythmic placement accuracy
👉 Bass lines in samba are a subtle art, in between the role of the surdo and the “baixarias“, melodic lines played by the guitar in samba and choro (some baixarias here )
👉 If you play these Bossa patterns in a samba band that will work. And if there’s already someone playing baixarias (like a guitar player) that’s what will work the best.
👉 chronologically speaking : Choro → Samba → Bossa Nova
Samba de roda with the surdo :
Samba backing tracks : playback
Samba de Roda (instruments, breaks and tips)
THE samba rhythm :
Girl From Ipanema without the bass :
Bossa Nova drums backing track (from 90 bpm to 140 bpm) drums
