Learn To Play Guitar With Antonio Carlos Jobim

In this collection, masterful Brazilian guitarist Paolo Bellinati has meticulously written out his solo guitar arrangements of ten melodies by his beloved countryman and pioneering bossa nova composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. With performance notes for each piece, these arrangements would best be approached by the intermediate to advanced classical guitarist. Bellinati has especially chosen Jobim’s instrumental compositions - songs without lyrics as these “reveal a much more sophisticated Jobim, closer to his favorite classical composers”. The book also contains arrangements of lyrical songs “with a more introspective and romantic character” including “Luiza” which Bellinati regards as “the most beautiful and perfect Brazilian song ever written"! Also included are substantial biographies of both Bellinati and Jobim, plus a notation key illuminating the special guitar techniques needed to effectively perform each arrangement. Songs include: "A Felicidade, Amparo, Antigua, Bate-Boca, Chora Coracao, Estrada Branca, Gabriela, Garoto (Choro), Luiza, Por Toda a Minha Vida, Surfboard, Valsa do Porto das Caixas".
