Aaron says if you don't have a nylon string guitar to go ahead and use whatever you are most comfortable with and that he has heard excellent Bosa Nova arrangements on the electric guitar.
Then he chimes that if you are really going for the Bossa Nova sound you will eventually want to get a nylon string guitar.
He points out the major differences between neck size and string tensions with steel string electric guitars. Nylon string guitar is a softer sound by design.
I repeat, and this makes a big difference too: there is a great pamphlet and when I mean great its like a dream come true. There are short 4 - 8 bar Bossa Nova rhythmic patterns in TAB with real honest to God chord charts and its also in music notation too. So this is stand alone.
Aaron talks about the harmonies borrowed from jazz including chords Gm7, Gb7#11, FM7, F#dim and give us all kinds of tricks to remember these changes from one chord to the next.
Common notes & what we are voicing and how to think about it. Aaron is a good guitar teacher. I mean it! I have no hesitations recommending this lesson. Its a good guitar lesson in general and a very good one pertaining to Bossa Nova. Actually its the only Bosa Nova lesson I have with more than enough to keep me happy for a spell.
