Linda Goodman Zebooker A Mini-History of Bossa Nova (11) RE: A Mini-History of Bossa Nova 25 Feb 07

As a beginner at guitar who really loves this type of music, I'm trying to find any resources I could use already. I can see that the true Bossa Nova and samba chords are way beyond me, though I can do the refrains from GUEST,AR282's posting.

Is anyone aware of any books or websites that would be helpful at this point? I have my eye on a "beginner-intermediate" Mel Bay book by Mike Christiansen, that I'll probably buy on Amazon through the Mudcat - but looking at a sample of it I can see that the chords are still too difficult for now. This site is helpful, but again - the chords are out of reach.

Brazilian is the first type of music I ever heard on a guitar. In about 1963 my mother bought a wonderful album titled "Brazil" with a red cover. I listened to it a few hundred times.
