About this course
Welcome to Play Jazz Guitar 7: Style Diversity for intermediate to late Intermediate students of Jazz guitar.
This Jazz Learning Path core course is presented by 4 top TrueFire educators: Fareed Haque, Frank Vignola, Reinier Voet, and Jason Loughlin.
The Style Diversity curriculum is comprised of select Jazz guitar lessons from the educators’ existing TrueFire course libraries.
One of the qualities that attracts all of us to the guitar is the virtually infinite range of styles and techniques that are possible on the instrument. Having a grasp on a wide variety of styles and techniques not only broadens your musicality, it opens the door to many more playing opportunities with other musicians. You’ll gain more clarity on the instrument overall and expressing yourself on it will become a richer experience. The video guitar lessons in this core course will diversify your skill set and help take your playing to the next level.
Play Jazz Guitar 7: Style Diversity is organized into 4 sections. You’ll start by adding some bossa nova spice to your jazz bag with Fareed Haque in Section 1. In the Section 2, Frank Vignola shows you 3 chord melody etudes. Gypsy Jazz licks is next with Reinier Voet in the third section, and Jason Loughlin passes on 10 country jazz licks you should know.
When you’ve completed the lessons here in Style Diversity, you’ll find more lessons focused on technique variations in Style Variations, also a Play Jazz Guitar 7 core course.
The educators demonstrate all of the key examples over jam tracks (where and when applicable) to simulate a real-world application, in a musical context. All of the key examples are also tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes.
You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, you’ll have all of the available jam tracks to work with on your own.
Take as much time as you need to work through each video guitar lesson before moving on to the next lesson. If you want to dig deeper or wider into any of the topics covered in this core course, check out the recommended supplementary courses in your learning path where you’ll find more examples, techniques and insight from top TrueFire educators.

Bossa Rhythm Patterns
In this first section, you'll learn 3 bossa nova rhythm patterns from Fareed Haque. Fareed will first demonstrate the pattern and then guide you through a slow playalong and then an up tempo playalong. Nail these 3 patterns and you'll be able to take on practically the entire bossa nova songbook.
TIP! When you start to work on rhythm parts, remember that the number one thing you should be concerned with is staying in time! This might sound obvious, but sometimes it is easy to get distracted by trying to get a cool move or technique down and we forget about keeping it in time!
So always work on a rhythm part slowly at first, using a metronome to make sure the whole thing is staying in time. If you find one part where you keep losing time, then stop and just work on that part until you get it solid. Remember, rhythm is built from the ground up - so make sure you lay the foundation of a groove before you start to worry about all the fancy stuff!

Bossa Rhythm Patterns
Bossa Rhythm Patterns - SECTION 1 is a video guitar lesson presented by Fareed Haque and is sourced from 1-2-3 Bossa Nova.
In this section we will take the basic bossa right hand pattern and break it down into 3 simple parts. But first! A few words about right hand technique. Classical guitar technique is basically the same as Brazilian guitar technique - which would explain why so many great classical guitarists come from Brazil! Here are some general principles: 1) To articulate or "pluck" strings we use thumb, index, middle and ring finger. Usually these are identified by the letters p for thumb (Actually Spanish for thumb - PULGAR), i for index finger, m for middle finger, a for ring (Spanish for ring finger - ANULAR). "Pinky" or "e" is rarely used. 2) Flesh and Nail: The basic contact with string is with flesh. Later on we will add nail to give brightness and possibilities for different tone colors. 3) Hand position: Right arm touches guitar roughly at top of guitar where bridge points to upper bout. Wrist remains relatively straight with a slight arch away from top. Touch strings with left side of fingertip. Fingers move in towards palm, and thumb moves away from fingers and away from top of guitar. Fingers and thumb make a little cross as they move away from each other. That's the basics. Check out Vladimir Bobri's "The Segovia Technique" as well as Christopher Parkening's method as they are both excellent and clear. But by far the best book is Pepe Romero's "La Guitarra: A Comprehensive Study of Classical Guitar Technique and Guide to Performing". It has been rereleased by Guitar Salon International and is amazing!

Rhythm Pattern #1
Rhythm Pattern #1 - Demonstration is a video guitar lesson presented by Fareed Haque and is sourced from 1-2-3 Bossa Nova.
This rhythm is used commonly in slow, mellow bossa novas. Just keep the bass notes coming straight on the beat. The most common error made by beginners is to try and syncopate the bass notes. The key to the bossa nova is that like jazz it is felt in 4/4 time. It's really a slow, sexy march, but a march nonetheless, just like jazz. And the walking bass in jazz is that steady pulsing quarter note bass in bossa nova. Keep da beat!

Rhythm Pattern #1 - Slow Playalong is a video guitar lesson presented by Fareed Haque and is sourced from 1-2-3 Bossa Nova.
A slow play-along over G 6/9. Keep the bass note steady. Keep all notes sustaining and clear. Don't stop or cut bass notes short - let them ring!

Rhythm Pattern #1 - Fast Playalong is a video guitar lesson presented by Fareed Haque and is sourced from 1-2-3 Bossa Nova.
Fast play-along. Don't tense up, keep the fingers moving to the palm, and the thumb moving away from the guitar. Bring the thumb up, around and back in a small circle.

Rhythm Pattern #2
Rhythm Pattern #2 - Demonstration is a video guitar lesson presented by Fareed Haque and is sourced from 1-2-3 Bossa Nova.
This is the most typical basic bossa pattern. Note that pattern #1 is the first 1/2 of pattern #2 so all you have to do is add the second 1/2. Notice that when all four parts of Rhythm # 2 are put together you have 4 steady quarter notes in bass. On top you have the rhythm (in eighth notes) 2-3, 2-2-3, 2-2.
