Re: Week 1: A Continent Full of Music! 🌴
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I can hear that similarity too. The many secondary dominant chords definitely give it that feel. Also, the chromatically descending dominant chords at 0:…

@Blaise Laflamme I’ve started it a few times, but I’ve never finished it. I remember it being harder than it sounds. Maybe I should be sure to get to it this challenge.

@Moyses Lopes That's so great! My mother played, but nothing fancy - just strumming chords to folk songs. It's so amazing that you are carrying on in your father's love for the guitar.

Dilermando Reis - Uma Valse e Dois Amores This is a fun piece. The title means "A Waltz and Two Loves" and I take that to mean that there are two "voices" carrying an alternating melody,…

Re: Brazilian Rhythms in Classical Guitar Repertoire!
@Moyses Lopes What a great source! I just downloaded it. The early pages look like jazz-style lead sheets, but the later pieces for solo and duo guitar are great for us.…

@Moyses Lopes Incredible, Moyses! Your right hand is so fluid, and your rhythm is so perfect. Very impressive. That is a wonderful connection to your father. Is he a guitarist as well?
