Traktor Topaz – Chapman Stick & Megatar Lesson – True Bossa Rhythm

Traktor Topaz presents music lesson demonstrating the difference between the US 'Latin' rhythm, and the true Bossa Nova rhythm from Brazil, for any Mobius Megatar, Warr Guitar, or Chapman Stick player. Includes example song.

Thanks to YouTube - katodesu100's Channel for choosing Traktor's True Bossa Rhythm lesson, and demo song!

The typical westernized 'latin rhythm' we've heard on a thousand songs, and played slowly on a thousand ballads. And yet ... it's not authentic. In this simple video, Traktor explains the difference between the rhythm we've all heard and the *true* bossa rhythm -- both the bass and the rhythm-guitar parts -- as can be easily played via two-handed tapping technique on any specialty instrument used for touchstyle music.

Learn how it's done, and then hear a sweet bossa nova tune demonstrating the method ...
