Wave (also known as "Vou Te Contar" in Portuguese) is a song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Recorded as an instrumental on Jobim's 1967 album of the same name, English lyrics were added by Jobim for a November 11, 1969 recording by Frank Sinatra, released on his 1970 album Sinatra & Company
Backing Track - With Melody by Guitar
The Wave play-along track is available for FREE download to all private and paid online students as well as paid site members.
Login to your personal Student Assets & Resources page or signup for private lessons to get access to this and other play-alongs tracks.
Here's an example of using the Wave backing track where I recorded the melody with Guitar. All backing tracks are only the background tracks, no melody.
The ability to play the melody, accompaniment chords and solo are technical skills that allow to play and enjoy these play-along tracks and charts.
The melody is shown on the chart or readily available in fake books and song books. You might even be able to play them by ear. Knowing how to read and the location of the notes on the guitar or ukulele fingerboard is what is needed for this.
