4 Ways to Play Bossa Nova on Ukulele
Free PDF:
www.thetinman.co/bossa-nova-strumming
Rhythm is essential to playing Brazilian bossa nova and in this lesson we look at four right hand techniques to capture the groove. Sure we could pluck the notes just a like a guitar, and it sure sounds great especially on Low G, but how can we accomplish these rhythms utilizing the ukulele to its full potential?
For those of us that strum we can take a page out of the cavaquinho playbook and use the techniques of George Formby or maybe a more gentle thumb and index finger strum both giving us quite different strumming patterns. We can even add percussion much as the great Ohta-San does with his Tick-Tock strum.

    Very cool. Growing up in the UK in the sixties I thought the fan stroke was the way all ukuleles were played as George Formby and Tessie O’ Shea were on the television all the time, just fan stroking every song they sang. It is a great way to accompany a song though. 🪕🇬🇧

    Thanks. Is it still meant to be in "straight" timing? Like that you get 6 eight notes out of the two fans and the remaining 2 eight notes from the down up?

    • @Banjoleletinman
      @Banjoleletinman 4 дня назад

      Yup! All straight eighths and since it’s a DDU pattern you can use it during a split stroke as well. You of course could also do it as an eighth note triplet in place of a thumb roll triple

    Great, Christopher, nice presentation, very clear. Worth mentioning that the ukulele / cavaquinho rhythmic patterns (batidas?) are derived from the partido alto part played on the pandeiro, and maybe the tamborim? Also, your thumb is imitating - what else - the big surdo. It's like building a watch. How much of this was sorted out by João Gilberto, do you think?

    • @Banjoleletinman

      That time signature is 4/4 for the whole piece but you can think of the split stroke as a clave rhythm with groupings of 3 and 2. In that case it would be 3+3+2
