00:00:00,660  -->  00:00:01,330
Bossa Nova Bounce.
2

2

00:00:01,330  -->  00:00:05,720
This rhythm is slightly more difficult
than any rhythm you've tried so far.
3

3

00:00:05,720  -->  00:00:10,860
So if you follow the diagram very
carefully, you should be able to get it.
4

4

00:00:10,860  -->  00:00:15,530
It's easier to explain in a diagram
than it is to explain verbally.
5

5

00:00:15,530  -->  00:00:20,193
I'll given an example of the rhythm
first of all because you'll
6

6

00:00:20,193  -->  00:00:23,914
know it when you hear it,
think of Burt Bacharach.

00:00:23,914  -->  00:00:33,914
[MUSIC]
8

8

00:00:36,301  -->  00:00:38,856
Okay, so that’s the basic rhythm.
9

9

00:00:38,856  -->  00:00:43,770
I know that’s a particular bossa
nova song but it’s also used in
10

10

00:00:43,770  -->  00:00:48,780
many other pop songs that aren’t
necessarily bossa nova style.
11

11

00:00:48,780  -->  00:00:50,370
So try tapping the rhythm out and
12

12

00:00:50,370  -->  00:00:55,180
accentuate the numbers
where the bits come in.
13

13

00:00:55,180  -->  00:00:59,850
So one and two and three and four and
one and two and three and four and one and
14

14

00:00:59,850  -->  00:01:03,460
two and three and four and one and
two and three and four and one.
15

15

00:01:04,630  -->  00:01:09,980
So notice the right hand chord
between beats two and three.
16

16

00:01:09,980  -->  00:01:15,416
So it looks in the diagram as if
there's only three beats in the bar but
17

17

00:01:15,416  -->  00:01:19,729
actually, there are four
distinct beats in the bar but
18

18

00:01:19,729  -->  00:01:24,884
the right hand's only playing a beat
on the first beat of the bar,
19

19

00:01:24,884  -->  00:01:29,710
the last beat of the bar, and
in between beats two and three.
20

20

00:01:29,710  -->  00:01:33,091
So one [SOUND] and two and [SOUND] three
and four [SOUND] and one [SOUND] and
21

21

00:01:33,091  -->  00:01:34,997
two and [SOUND] three and four [SOUND] and
22

22

00:01:34,997  -->  00:01:39,141
the left hand's going to play it on one
and after the three, and after the four.
23

23

00:01:39,141  -->  00:01:40,872
[MUSIC]
24

24

00:01:40,872  -->  00:01:46,518
So one and two [SOUND] and three and
four [SOUND] and one and two and
25

25

00:01:46,518  -->  00:01:52,180
three and four [SOUND] and one and
two [SOUND] and three and four.
26

26

00:01:52,180  -->  00:01:56,940
You don't really need to pedal with this
rhythm because it tends to get a bit mucky
27

27

00:01:56,940  -->  00:01:58,554
if you keep the pedal down.
28

28

00:01:58,554  -->  00:02:01,589
[MUSIC]
29

29

00:02:01,589  -->  00:02:02,808
So just keep the pedal off.
30

00:02:02,808  -->  00:02:11,307
[MUSIC]
31

31

00:02:11,307  -->  00:02:15,469
Remember, you're playing both hands
together on the very first beat of
32

32

00:02:15,469  -->  00:02:16,092
each bar.

[MUSIC]
34

34

00:02:16,870  -->  00:02:22,288
one [SOUND] and two and
[SOUND] three and four [SOUND] and
35

35

00:02:22,288  -->  00:02:26,947
one [SOUND] and two and
[SOUND] three and four.

00:02:26,947  -->  00:02:29,986
