In this episode of the Guitar and Improvisation Podcast, we explore Antonio Carlos Jobim's bossa nova classic "Wave." We discuss improvisation strategies and comping techniques tailored for this beautiful Brazilian jazz standard. Topics include bossa nova rhythm patterns, chord voicings for comping, and melodic approaches for soloing over the lush harmonic movement that makes "Wave" such a rewarding tune to play on guitar.
