Truefire Martin Taylor's Dimensions of Bossa Nova Guitar TUTORiAL

Hands-On Accelerated Course for Bossa Nova Guitar
Bossa Nova and other Latin jazz styles are seamlessly woven into the fabric of the mainstream jazz standard songbook, becoming indispensable to worldwide jazz repertoire. As a result, Bossa Nova and Latin jazz tunes have not only become a staple in jazz performances but also essential study pieces for jazz students, symbolizing a perfect blend of rhythmic complexity and melodic beauty.

Martin Taylor's immersive masterclass, Dimensions of Bossa Nova Guitar, accelerates students' learning progress with a curriculum designed to play their way through rather than practice tedious exercises and force-feeding thick theoretical explanations.

“Bossa Nova sparked the Latin jazz movement in the late 50's and continues to play a pivotal role in the Jazz songbook. Its melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic qualities provide jazz musicians, especially jazz guitarists, boundless expressive freedom for improvisation and creative exploration.

Using Bossa Nova tunes as our framework, I designed the course with a hands-on contextual approach. I'll share essential approaches for rhythm and lead, and you'll jam along with me throughout the course!

We'll work on familiar chord sequences, rhythms, melodic phrasing, embellishments, chord melody, improvising, and many other vital elements that you'll need to perform the Bossa Nova songbook confidently.”

You'll have TrueFire's interactive learning tools to customize your workspace and learn at your own pace. The demonstrations and performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video lessons with controls for looping, slow motion, fretboard animation, and other tools designed to accelerate your progress.

You'll also get the tab and standard notation files to print out, downloadable Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks to practice with and use on home recording projects.

Grab your guitar, and let's dig in with Martin Taylor!
