Measures 11 & 12 of a Bossa Nova Guitar Song in C Major

RYAN LARSON: So now, we're going to go over our next two measures and we land right here on our 3 minor. Again, you want to make sure you're writing all these chords as we go through it at home. Write them down. So we have our 3 minor, E minor to our flat 3, E flat 7. So nice, easy, nice, little chromatic line and we--as we look at our fret board here, we have 1, 2, 3. So we got 3 minor and then flat 3, 7. So I don't even have to move my pointer finger, right? So nice, easy, simple. So nice, simple chords and make sure you really get those under your fingers as we keep going through and doing our--the rest of our piece. You want to make sure you have all these different voicings under your fingers so as we go through there are no surprises.
