Title: Once I Loved
Portuguese title: O Amor en Paz
Composer: Antonio Carlos ("Tom") Jobim
Playing notes
I have put an alternation of Ma7 and Ma6 in a few
locations where
there are two consecutive measures (bars) of a major
chord. Ma7 and Ma6 are similar
and this substitution is always possible.
This is a taste issue, you could as easily use just
Ma7 or a major triad.
Although a triad will seem weak for this kind of Bossa
Nova piece.
Similarly, where I have indicated minor rather then
min7, it is because I like to hear
a simple minor chord in that spot; it is nice on the
guitar (especially nylon string).
You could substitute a min7 in its place.
Eu coloquei ambos Ma7 e Ma6 numos lugares neste
cancao. Cuando aparece
uma chord maior em dois bars consecutivos, quase
sempre este substitution seja possivel.
Este e um situacao do meu gusto. Claro que se pode
tocar Ma7 todos nestes lugares.
E MajorE tambem, se seja situacao de minor sem que tem 7, eu
ponho este porque gostou este tipo de son no violao.
Especialmente no violao "classico." Como antes, voce
pode usar a min7 se voce gostaria.
