Hello to all GMC players :). This is a Bossa Nova style lesson to your request :).
Well bossa is not really my style but I'm hoping that you will like it... I'm using a lot of maj7 & 7 chords such as Gmaj7 Cmaj7 B7 D7, and also dim chords. I think its really gives the bossa sound. The tempo is 4/4
Enjoy :)
