"Notso Nova"

You now have the basic tools needed to play a tune or comp for a soloist. "Notso Nova" is a short tune that uses all the techniques we have learned in this lesson and the basic rhythms from Examples 1–4. You could try using the rhythm in Example 5 once you become comfortable with the tune. By the time you have this short tune down, you will have a basic foundation in the sound and feel of bossa nova.
