My Reaction to the “BLUE BOSSA” Jazz Guitar Video With Walter Rodgrigues Jr. (FREE PDF)

By Adam Rafferty Leave a Comment

Hey! I hope you enjoy this reaction to the video of “Blue Bossa” that Walter Rodrigues Jr. and I just did. It was a BLAST getting to dig into some fingerstyle jazz guitar again! πŸ™‚

This is a jazz and bossa classic written by the trumpet legend Kenny Dorham – and a great tune to get started on when you are learning jazz guitar and need a nudge into something slightly challenging.
