Measures 13 & 14: Bossa Nova Guitar in F Major

So now we're going to take a look at our next chord in our bridge which is actually our twenty-fourth measure. And we're here at G minor, and we held it for two measures. Nice, simple. Two minor, F, G, so just nice simple two minor. And if we look on our fretboard we have F, there's our two minor, right. So we just applied our minor scale there. You also can get this chord by voicing...but you also notice if you voice it like this it's hard to play the five there. So I like playing this voicing because you can play the five below it, which really gives it that nice bossa nova tinge to it. So that's your next chord, we'll make sure you get all these chords under your fingers as we go through and play our bossa nova tune.
