Hey everyone!
Are you practicing hard despite the streaming issues?

I've been practicing "Blue Monc" for the past two months, and I'm also thinking of trying my hand at "Blue Bossa".

I just watched the lesson video for the first time.
It's quite different from Blue Monc.
I've been taking notes right away.

I'll be working on Blue Monc and Blue Bossa slowly from now on.
If you'd like, please join the challenge and use this thread.
Alright, let's get started!

Thank you Tadashi for sharing this! Good job! Good notes!

After Blue Monk.... Blue Bossa is a great song to learn.
1) R 3 7
2) Melody
3) Triad inversions on 123 set strings.

Please enjoy!

I am always wonderinp how to play blue bossa backing with bossa feeling. Tomo-sensei could you teach us how to play bossa feeling backing with finger picking using 6h and 5th string bass line. It might bd very difficult but I really want to try.

Thank you for waiting! I just found my iPhone! I just don't look at my phone when I am at home.

How about this? Basically I did choose simple bossa nova rhythm with R 3 7 chord form. A little bassline Root and 5th... with a few chromatic movement.
