Now we're going to play a little faster version of a bossa nova.
It's still medium because bossa novas don't get very fast
If you take this rhythm and you start to bump it up in tempo
you sort of go into samba territory, which we'll get to in a minute, but
Bossa nova again bossa nova is primarily a half note rhythm with a few
Dotted quarter eighth note things also so
Remember that
Remember that
We want to settle into the rhythm of the of the drums and think about that Dean
Anchor the music
That's the feel we want has to be relaxed
