INTRODUCTION
 

There is no music more naturally suited to the guitar than Brazilian popular songs. The universal appeal of the music itself and the popularity of the guitar as an instrument join to make the bossa nova a favorite guitar style throughout the world. It is not surprising that Brazilian music is so natural to the guitar when one discovers just how important the instrument is in Brazil and to her bes t composers. Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of the world's most popular songwriters, composes on both guitar and piano. Luiz Bonféi and Baden Powell, authors of many international hits, are both virtuoso soloists on the guitar. And there is something in the intimate sound of the instrument itself that lends perfectly to the subtle syncopations of samba and bossa nova.

This book has been designed not only to give pleasure to guitarists from average to expert playing ability, but also to serve as a method through which a player can learn the Brazilian style and gain enough understanding of it to arrange, compose, and improvise his or her own musical ideas within il. Going through the book will improve your reading as well as your techniques and musical expression. Perhaps the greatest difficulty for players not famjliar with the style is to get the "Brazilian swing." The following rhythm patterns contain most of the elements upon which this feeling is based. You can observe from the examples that the more complicated patterns are merely

combinations of the basic ones. Play the basic examples until they feel natural and then go to the more difficult ones. Then as you go through the songs you will find it much easier to understand how they are to be played.

Another important thing to remember is that the basic beat is almost always a "two feel". (Note that most of the 4/4 pieces are marked in cut time ¢ and have two half notes per measure in the bass making for a 2/2 feel.) The bass is usually on the beat, but the melody is often on the off beats. If some of these more syncopated passages give you problems, try playing the melody and the chord part un-syncopated first and then anticipate the melody part until it makes sense musically as it is written. That plus listening to the original recordings should help you acquire a natural feel for the music. As with any music you wish to learn correctly, study the difficult passages slowly and thoroughly until they are "under your hands." Feel free to change the fingerings if you find a better way. Those given here follow the patterns typical of Brazilian players and can be useful for your own arranging, composing, or improvising. In this collection there is a lot of variety of mood and feeling. So in each piece you learn, try to understand its mood and emphasize it as you play. By paying attention to the feeling and technical aspects of each piece you will grow both as a musician and guitarist.
