A short tutorial demonstrating some Brazilian rhythms, then how they can be applied to Antonio Carlos Jobim’s song “Meditation.” My very first youtube upload, I’m happy to receive feedback! Video Rating: 4 / 5

  • HI, that is cool, because I am CRAZY about Brazilian music and really want to get into it. I really look foreward to it :) )

    Hi zezt, for my next video I’ll do the same batch of rhythms a little slower I’ll take that into account for my next video, but for the moment I don’t have a camera… :/ that will be my project this summer

  • you should slow it down for a little so people can get it the rhythm. you just do it straight off and it is hard to get it if your not used to it

    I uploaded a new video regarding your question. Let me know what you think.

    Thank you for this lovely video.  I really appreciate the angle it was filmed at so that I could see the thumb and fingers. I love Brazilian guitar and am hoping to move beyond the basic 2-bar bossa nova rhythm which I can now do fluently. Thank you for your help. Lovely Playing!

    Great playing. Great tutorial. Would you be so kind as to demonstrate in a future video the difference between “anticipated”and syncopated beats. They seem prevalent in Brazilian guitar, but I don’t know what they mean.

    I went to Rio de Janeiro in 2008 to learn about Choro and Samba. I pulled some things off music I heard and people I played with, others from books.
