Playing the bossa nova rhythm on guitar is super fun and challenging on its own. But what happens when we want to add the melody to the chords? That's where new challenges arise, but it's not as hard as you think to create your own solo chord melody arrangement. In this tutorial, we look at the main themes of 3 great bossa classics (from my "Top 5 Bossas"). We tackle the chords, look at the melody, and discover strategies for how we can put them together for solo guitar.
