Break Free from "Normal" Chords 3

This is a bossanova style chord sequence featuring a descending bassline.

I use my right hand thunb to get the bass notes and my first two fingers to get the chords - however, you could take a different approach and try selective strumming,fingerpicking or arpeggios - change the rhythm etc.

I tried putting this into a more "user friendly" key but it was no easier to play and didn't sound as good.

Actually playing in &unfriendly" keys is a good way to improve your technique on acoustic guitar.

The Gm6 chord in bar three I would usually play with my L/H 3rd finger getting the note on the 3rd string but using the 4th finger in this case makes the change to the next chord easier
