Measures 1 & 2: Bossa Nova Guitar in F Major

All right, now we're going to go through our first four measures and we have F major for two measures, and then G seven for two measures. So our one major, and our two-seven. And if you remember the scale we used, we start with our one major here on the eighth fret, and then the two was here on the tenth fret. So we have our one, and we apply our one major chord voicing for our A string root. And then we go up to our two and we apply our seventh voicing. So by applying the appropriate chord voicing, and just moving the root, we can play through this whole tune. So we got one major, two-seven. So very simple, easy approach, and we can go through and find every chord in the whole tune.
