But, samba is more often at least in jazz played as a two bar pattern, forward or reverse. You'll sometimes hear the tamborim play that, but a good tamborim player changes it constantly.. Bossa has the classic Joao Gilberto comp which is xo xo ox oo -- one bar pattern. But, it is often played as a two bar pattern as well. That's what an American drummer who isn't intimately familiar with Brazilian styles is likely to play.
And, samba can, and is, played with a similar pattern. The difference is that Bossa is played more softly and, typically with more sophisticated harmony. One Brazilian teacher I know rejects the notion that Bossa is a musical style, instead insisting it's an era, and that the style is slow Samba.
I'm not sure I can clear it up any more than that. And, there are a lot of other samba variants. I'd add this, based on what I've found most difficult about playing this stuff. The accents are not played exactly as written. If you play the note values mathematically correct with the metronome, it won't groove. There is a frequency spectrum analysis somewhere on the internet that proves it Somebody recorded a good band and plotted the accents on a time line.
Does not line up with the metronome. When a skilled musician plays something as simple as the shaker, you can feel the samba rhythm and it makes you want to dance. But, if a skilled American drummer then picks up the shaker, you're likely to have less of an urge to dance, even though he seems to be doing the same thing. The accents are subtle. When Chico says to play right in the center of the beat, he's saying something of critical importance.
I'm convinced that the difference is in the precise placement of the accents. When a Brazilian expert does it, that changes every bar and they all groove. Hope that's helpful. As far as I know, it's only in Portuguese and only available in Brazil. The notation is standard and there are mp3s, so the language barrier is not that big a deal, or so I think.
Faria's book is terrific. Perhaps the best single guitar book I ever used - in terms of how much useful material I got from it. He breaks down the patterns and then illustrates with accurate transcriptions from well known recordings.
I second the recommendation for Nelson's book, so much fun. Brazilian voicings and harmonic patterns are just as cool to explore as the rhythms and Nelson's book is a great intro. Comes with a CD as well, so you can hear it.
Lots of first inversions, with voice movement that we don't think about as much in the states, if I can make a superficial generalization. Aebersold has a brazilian play-along that demos these kinds of harmonies and is great fun and a challenge to comp with and solo over. I just bought the 6 part Lage download, but Chico's video is next on my list.
Love that guy and everything he does, check him out on youtube, both in group settings and in duo settings with his girlfriend. Movie star handsome, sings well, plays amazing and writes incredibly well. His album with Anthony Wilson is a must have, but his own efforts show off his writing skills. I hope he's famous in Brazil, he deserves to be! At 50 sec you can notice the kick drum playing a different pattern, closer to partido, maybe. Post intro - another anthem:.
To my ear these last two are not quite the classic Partido Alto pattern, at least, not how I was taught it. But, in these videos I also hear the 4th sixteenth and the accent on the 2nd sixteenth is a little less pronounced. So, I think it's closer to straight samba. That said, there are no standard definitions, every song is different, and Bosco is one of the all-time great samba rhythm guitarists. Originally Posted by rpjazzguitar.

The attached document is most likely what has been mentionned earlier in this discussion about the samba groove. You will now learn a basic Samba pattern that uses the first Bossa rhythm, paired with the reversed version of itself to form a two-bar phrase.
Take the samba rhythm you just learned, which was a Bossa 1 and Bossa 2 combination pattern, and reverse the order of each bar.
When doing so, you play the reverse Bossa first followed by the original Bossa pattern in the second bar to form the longer reverse samba pattern that you see below.
Once you have this pattern under your fingers, try playing over a Brazilian jazz tune and switching between both of the samba rhythms that you have learned up to this point. This next rhythm is a variation of the samba groove that you just studied, and is called a Partido Alto.
Here, you will play a variation of the reverse Bossa in bar one of the phrase, followed by the original Bossa rhythm in the second measure of the groove. When playing this pattern, try accenting each upbeat over the two-bar phrase as you develop an authentic Brazilian swing feel. Two items to look at with this rhythm are the bass notes, which are played as a dotted 8th-note followed by a 16th-note tied to a quarter note on beats 1 and 3 of each bar.
