Learn Basic Bossa Nova Comping Styles, with Piano Transcription of 7notemode on The Dolphin
7notemode did a wonderful youtube clip on this bossa nova tune, The Dolphin.
Here is the piano transcription of the head:
piano transcription of the dolphin by 7notemode (PDF)
The basic bossa nova pattern looks something like this
- Of course if you are playing solo piano, you would need to cover the bass part too.
- Notice the emphasis of the piano comping is on the 2nd downbeat, and 3rd upbeat of each bar.
7notemode started the song with this nice piano riff
Observe how it is based on the basic bossa nova pattern
Throughout the song, there were occasional comping on those two beats to keep the bossa groove going.

January 21, 2010Hello everybody, pianologist here.
Like i mentioned in this post, the transcription here is only the head of the tune.
But there seems to be plenty of request for the piano solo part of this video. So i will try my best to transcribe it asap and post it for you guys in the near future.
thanx a lot for all your support…. 🙂
