Rhythmic phrase 4444 played with half speed. The whole phrase is played with staccato. The strings are muted both by lifting left hand fingers and by right hand fingers. The same phase played in normal tempo. Start with staccato. Half of the basic phrase. Third basic phrase Here João played F#7. This section is played with legato. Basic bossa nova phrase syncopated. Third basic phrase again. The first section repeated. When transposed to D, João played E9 here. Now the chord progression is changed. It’s still played with legato. Now move to staccato. This can also be played in the 7th position but this way creates brighter sound. Back to legato and to chord progression from the beginning, only slightly different rhythmic phrases. The melody and chord progression change, still played with legato. Finally, staccato in the end of the song. Rhythmic phrase 4444 in the song closing.
