This is a full transcription of guitar, bass, voice and saxophone tracks of the classic Getz & Gilberto version of “Desafinado”. This transcription includes all the details and exact voicings originally played, so consider this is a look into the authentic archive of Bossa Nova. Legend has it that this song was written as a cheeky response to an under-appreciative music critic, and that the out-of-key notes in the melody are musically flirting with the criticism that Bossa Nova singers are out of tune. As a bonus for the guitarists, I have included a guitar arrangement of the saxophone solo. Enjoy!
