How to Play a Bossa Nova Guitar Song in B Major

RYAN LARSON: So now, that we have all these chords down and we wrote all these information down at home, we can go through and play through this whole piece like a breeze. I'm going to do that right now. I'll call out the chords as I play it, right? Three, flat 3 and this is 7th chord, 2 minor, flat 2. Again 3, flat 3, 2, flat 2, 2, 5, 7 to flat 3--oh no, wait--5 to flat 7 to flat 3 to flat 6 to flat 3, then we went to 4 minor, flat 7, 3 major. Then we're at the top of the 4, right? And that's the whole piece of the chorus. I ended on the 1 and we should have went back to the top of the 4. That's okay. So go through and then you have all these information down and under your fingers and make sure you just really get it embedded into your brain so you can go through and do this to any tune in any Real Book that's written in B.
