Then I used that as a template to tweak the feel of a chord progression that I just arranged across the AABA form. I manually entered 2 of Jens Larsen's patterns into the piano roll via Flex's 'Essential Guitars' plugin using the 'Ace Nylon MKI' patch. I found a cool YouTube video from vlogger Jens Larsen, which shows a few of the most basic Bossa Nova rhythm guitar comping patterns (I'm not providing link here as I don't want to violate link rules in this sub). I wanted to try something new: arranging the chord progressions directly in midi, while giving them more of a classic Bossa Nova feel. Then I composed the song on top of that, scored the leadsheet in Finale, and then bounced the FLP project into an MP3 demo, giving both files to the instrumental musicians to rehearse with. In most of the songs in our catalog, I have purchased loop libraries where I simply grabbed the rhythm guitar loops (within a given key) and laid them into the playlist, moving them around until they sounded good. I'm trying to develop a simple FLP file that contains a collection of 3 or 4 Bossa Nova rhythm guitar comping patterns that I can use as templates for each time that I arrange a chord progression for a new song that I am composing.
