The Girl From Ipanema – Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto (bass)
About the song
The Girl from Ipanema was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes, about a girl walking past a cafe near the beach of Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. The version by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto, with Astrud Gilberto singing in English, came out on the album Getz/Gilberto in 1964 and won the Grammy for Record of the Year. It is one of the most recorded songs ever. On bass it is pure bossa nova: root and fifth, nice and relaxed.
Grab your bass and play along.
Sidenote:
I try to find recognizable easy to play songs for Bass on Rocksmith 2014. I don’t do extra practice for recording, so there will be mistakes. I changed the setup so the G string (orange) is on top and the E string is at the bottom, because I played TABS for guitar before. All songs are in the key of E standard. I like to thank all the creators of the custom DLC’s.
