William's BossaNova Guitar
This channel is dedicated mainly to the teaching and the celebration of Bossa Nova music on the guitar.
Here is a link to the full list of videos: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kR25O0DFCHN07ZTXrMsTji_IzMEzjuG4FWJhSkaECW4/edit?usp=drive_link
Besides my passion for Brazilian music, I play and teach a wide variety of styles influenced by Blues, Folk, Jazz/Bossa, Classical, Flamenco on both Acoustic and Electric guitar.
My big influences are James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Crosby and Nash, Rickie Lee Jones, Tom Waits, Jim Croce, Neil Young, John Martyn, Robben Ford, and many others.
I can also coach students who want to venture into French, Spanish and Portuguese singing.
If you are interested in guitar tuition/coaching or any of the topics I mentioned earlier - on Skype, Zoom or face to face (I live in the UK, in Gloucestershire) please send me an e-mail on [email protected] or contact me on +447891157974 (works on WhatsApp)
