Part One – Boss Nova Guitar from the Ground Up

For those new to Latin Jazz, have no fear – this book begins with an easy-to-follow, practical guide to nailing the bossa nova groove and breaking it down beat by beat.

  • Triste
  • How Insensitive

Plus, two classic standards often played in the Latin Jazz style:

  • The Shadow of Your Smile
  • Night and Day

You’ll also discover Martin’s original arrangement of the classic Keep the Home Fires Burning, and learn how any tune with a strong melody can be given the bossa nova guitar treatment.

In Martin Taylor’s Latin Jazz Rhythm Guitar, you’ll learn hundreds of fresh ideas you can use in your own rhythm playing immediately.
