The course is divided in Four Modules: Module 01: ImmersionThis module is meant to help the student on the saga through samba. It is very common, when you study jazz for example, to seek its story and development to understand what the musicians are playing. So, we will do the same with samba. I know its difficult when a style has such a small number of recordings (and most of them have bad sound quality), so this first step is like a guideline to history and samba bass players. Classes:01 - Repertoire Guide02 History of Samba03 Essential Samba Bass PlayersModule 02: Musical AnalysisIn this module, we will understand the rhythm structures of the main instruments used in samba and how the bass can interact with them, as well as instrumentations and how each instrument looks and sounds. Several ideas of what the bass can play in each situation will be addressed too. Classes:01 - Instrumentation02 Rhythm Structure03 Percussion on BassModule 03: ExercisesThere will be five exclusive backing tracks of several genres, based in highly recurrent harmonies. For each track, you will find a version with a bass part recorded by Renato for referenceExclusive backtracks: Slow Bossa (50bpm)Medium Bossa (70bpm)Medium Samba (80bpm)Fast Samba (100bpm)Fast Partido Alto (115bpm)Module 04: Real LifeTwo songs by Kike Toledo, played by three different bass players. These songs were chosen due to their harmonies, melodies and instrumentations; all very typical of samba. The bass players will be: Zli Silva: Bass professor at the Santa Marcelina College of Music (So Paulo, Brazil), academic researcher and author of Transcries Vol. 1 (Transcriptions Vol. 1), which will be considered as a next step for those who want to go deeper on the bass parts created by the masters that will be addressed during the course. Carlinhos Noronha: Bass player with a vast experience in samba, Noronha has been acting as a sideman for several years, as well as on studio, with a great number of artists.
