How to Play Bossa Nova Bass Lines Redone:

In this lesson, electric and upright bassist Jared Plane presents a revised, comprehensive look at the process of constructing Bossa Nova bass lines to famous Brazilian tunes. The tune discussed in this lesson is the famous, "How Insensitive" by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Jared starts with the basics, by outlining the chord progression using the roots and fifths. Step by step, he introduces additional chord tones to the bass line before diving into rhythmic variations, chromaticism and melodic statements.

For those wishing to improve their knowledge of Bossa Nova and other forms of Latin-style bass playing, this lesson is a great introduction for beginners and advanced players alike.
