Hey Everybody,
A few weeks ago one of my students was interested in learning this cool bossa nova tune, Waters Of March. She was familiar with a version Basia did and I checked out a bunch of them before deciding to put this lesson together the way Elis Regina did in a duet with Jobim. The lesson includes a measure by measure sheet that should give you the ability to play along with that recording, which is included as a segment in the lesson.
Aguas De Marco, Waters Of March is one of the most popular bossa nova tunes from the pen of Antonio Carlos Jobim, AKA Tom. Like most of his pieces it is full of unusual chord inversions that will prove challenging to any students who have not played much jazz. It really only has three main sequences of four measures each, but they are arranged in different orders and include a quite few variations.
This lesson goes over common (and uncommon) bossa nova right hand techniques and patterns, has very detailed looks at the chords and sections, and includes a complete play through that matches up with the recording by Elis Regina and Jobim.

Hi Neil,
I know this is not the best spot on the forum to ask this question but I don't know how to create my own topic. I purchased your song Play Me by Neil Diamond and love it. I hoped, however, it would include the guitar lead toward the end of the song. Any chance I could persuade you to make a video on that acoustic lead? I would love to hear how you broach that piece. Thanks so much for considering this request.
Best,
Curtis
