By popular request here is an easy bossa nova strum that you can use on either a nylon string guitar or steel string guitar.
There are many different versions of the bossa nova rhythm. This is a fairly simple one that you can learn easily with a little practice.
The rhythm I often use for my CD is a little more complex. I learned the one in this lesson from Justin Sandercoe. If you'd like to see another lesson on this strum you can check out Justin's video on YouTube here:

The Bossa Nova strum looks like fun but difficult for me at this point.
Thanks Tomas; beautiful
Thanks, sounds so cool. This will be my next project after I get comfortable with my practice of Malaguena. Please keep the lessons coming, I enjoy listening and learning how to play them.

Not difficult IF a person takes the time to learn the chords AND puts the Lesson together like a puzzle–one piece at time. I am working hard on it. Thanks for the Lesson. 😉
I really enjoyed your lesson. I found it very easy to follow and certainly would like to learn more. Thanks
You’re welcome Pete. – Tomas
Quite difficult for me at first but was eventually able to play it because of your clear instructions.Thanks!
You’re very welcome Sofie. – Tomas
