Samba rock — Guitar

On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony. Born in Brazil's dance halls, samba rock blends samba's sway with the punch of rock and soul, making music built for partner dancing. Here you'll find the style's strumming patterns, in practice the rhythmic figures that carry that dance-floor groove.
