Description

On this DVD Aaron explores three more of the best-known and most beautiful songs of the bossa nova genre. He starts with Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “The Girl from Ipanema.” This song shows you how to sound like a true bossa nova player. “Corcavado,” another Jobim classic, features a beautiful melody against a descending bass line, filled out with lush chords. Finally, you’ll learn Luis Bonfa’s haunting theme music “Manha de Carnival” from the film “Black Orpheus.” This is among the most-recorded pieces of guitar music in the world. Again Aaron teaches each song in measure-by-measure detail, explaining the rhythms, harmonies, syncopations, bass grooves and melodic elements that make these iconic pieces come alive.
