I had never played brazilian guitar (actually I really hadn’t played that much guitar at all) before buying this book. After almost a year of studying and listening, I am really, really satisfied. The examples are brilliant. The CD is done well. The only criticism I have is that some of the really difficult chords need some explanation (like put x finger on y fret) and encouragement (like, Hey this is a really tough chord but hang tough…etc). However, there are good explanations for almost everything which could cause doubt. I really, really love this book. It has changed my life.

The examples in this book are great, and I think this is probably the one book to have if one is interested in latin style comping. The complaint I have is that the CD is recorded terribly, distortion abounds and the sound quality is low. Otherwise a great addition to the collection.

I’m very happy with this book of Brazilian guitar; Nelson Faria is a very good guitar player and his book is a complete tour in the various style of a Brazilian guitar like samba, bossa,frevo,choro ect.Music standars notation+tab+cd with the varius exaples. Recomended for the serius guitar player into jazz and latin music. Giorgio Gabrieli Italy
