Many variations of basic comping patterns written out, each with complete chord voicings. Also includes short transcriptions of guitar parts as recorded by Toninho Horta, Joao Bosco, Joao Gilberto, etc. Leny Andrade - "When I think about Brasil, I think about "Violao" (that's what we call the nylon string guitar in our country). The art of playing "Violao" looks simple, but it isn't and this book shows how to assimilate and how to understand this art. This makes me feel happy. With talent and clear information, Nelson will help guitar players all around the world to enjoy all the pleasures of this wonderful instrument. Make good use of this excellent musical book!" Toninho Horta - "Nelson Faria was the right person to write this book, which contains examples and transcriptions of Brazil's greatest guitarists. This talented musician and dedicated music professor has a deep knowledge of Brazilian music and its rhythmic, melodic and harmonic subtleties." Joe Diorio - "Nelson Faria's book is a welcome addition to the guitar literature. I'm sure those who work with this volume will benefit greatly."

Guitarist, arranger and composer, Nelson Faria was born in Belo Horizonte, MG (1963), and when he was a child he moved to Brasilia, OF, where he began his guitar lessons. In 1983, he moved to L.A. to attend G.I.T (Guitar Institute of Technology), where he studied with Joe Diorio, Joe Pass, Ron Eschete, Howard Roberts, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, and many others. While in L.A., he also attended private lessons with the chord melody master Ted Greene. Back in Brazil, Nelson Faria became one of the most important names on call lists for guitar workshops, clinics and seminars all over the country. He released a book on improvisation -"A arte da improvisacao" (Lumiar Editora), an instructional guitar video "Toques de Mestre" (Giannini S/A), and a solo CD - "Ioio" (Perfil musical).

Presently Nelson teaches guitar and improvisation at the ESTACIO DE SA UNIVERSITY, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has been performing and recording with many fine Brazilian artists, such as: - Milton Nascimento, Edu Lobo, Toninho Horta, Antonio Adolfo, Joao Bosco, Wagner Tiso, Nivaldo Ornelas, Nico Assumpcao, Baby Consuela, Cassia Eller, Luiz Melodia, Carlos Lyra, Emilio Santiago, Tim Maia, among others.
