  • Pour yourself a caipirinha and grab your thumb picks because the awesome César Garabini is taking us on a trip to Rio for an introduction to the beautiful and grooving sounds of Choro guitar. Choro is a uniquely Brazilian form of jazz which developed over the same time period as Ragtime and Dixieland in the States. Its driving force is the seven-string nylon guitar, whose expanded range makes possible an almost pianistic playing style incorporating bass, harmony, and lead voices in a single performance. For complete transcriptions of everything César plays including the awesome duet with Olli Soikkeli, check out the full interview at Cracking the Code: troygrady.com/cesar/

Well, I can play a little bit of samba, but I daydream all the time about the 80s hair metal scene (that's why I watched Cracking the Code like 50 times). Anyway, I'm proud to see Cesar shredding that old 7 string here on your channel, I've been a fan for quite some time and even got some of the private videos. I hope Cracking the Code 2 becomes a thing!

    Awesome guitar playing. Nice music. I think most guitar players have a favorite genre but I for one like to hear and attempt to play other genres. I think it can make you a better guitarist. At least being knowledgeable of others and techniques. I mean I just simply love guitar. If it’s got a body and a few strings I just want to try picking and plucking that sucker to make music to express my inner self. OK it may sound terrible (my guitar playing) but give me time. Ha. Nice production Troy with this session. Can’t wait to get my hands on my very own ‘THE MAGNET’ camera mount so I can record and capture my (pathetic- ha) guitar fingering and picking. What a great way to analyze guitar playing and focus on weaknesses for improvement.

      Essa similiaridade não é acaso , se por um lado o choro tem seu lado percussivo, dos acentos da música africana , do outro a estrutura é das músicas de salão européia e a harmonia e suas inversões de baixo são notadamente francesas. E não só isso , se você pegar a música regional do interior da França e as do interior do Brasil são semelhantes até em sonoridade, da coisa dos violões e acordeons por exemplo....muitos choros e gypsy jazz e música folclórica dos 2 países se parecem, pois a conexão é real.

    Thanks for sharing. Brazilian guitar is the ultimate shred guitar on nylon. Yamandu would put Yngwie to shame. My only criticism is that 95% of Brazilian players use nails, and not a thumb pick. Nails sound way better, and you can do more flamenco type rasgueos which Brazilians do.
