danza brasilera - jorge morel (b.1931)

tabbed by wim

[updated 30 Nov 00]

For those new to ascii tablature:

   12p8    pull-off
   2h3p2   trill (fast hammer-on and pull-off)
   !5      natural harmonic
   ~       vibrato

   above the tab i have indicated some help with fingering:

   p       i       m       a
 = pulgar, indice, medio,  anular
 = thumb,  index,  middle, ring
   
   these are the (spanish) conventions for the right hand fingering

   the 1 2 3 4 above the tab are recommended left hand fingerings 
   for maximum speed (if you wanna play the piece as fast as morel!)
   1, 2, 3, 4 = index, middle, ring, little fingers

   C3, C8 etc indicate a barre at that fret

anyways, have fun...this is a fantastic piece.
if you like it as much as i do, be sure to get your hands on 
'misionera' by the same man, it's amazing! twice as fast!

allegro (tempo di samba) - standard tuning

finis!  :)     for a nice little change, i sometimes like to switch that
last chord with this one [0 0 10 9 7 7] for a richer sound...try it!


some notes:
i have a few different recordings of this song.  one is played by jorge
morel himself, and this is by far the fastest i have heard it played.
another is by craig ogden on 'tango nuevo' and the last is played by jason
vieaux on 'cavatina'.  this tab is a transcription of the jorge morel
recording, from his virtuoso album.  anyways i'm telling you this because
although craig plays it like jorge, jason's recording has a few little nice
changes.  so if you like his piece better then some measures might sound a
bit different.  for example, at the start of the piece he plays the first
four bars twice.  and i'm not entirely sure about all which follows, but
bar 8 sounds a bit like this:

 C3......
|----3---------0---|
|----5---5---------|
|----4---4---------|
|--------5---------|
|-3----------------|
|----------0-------|

and change bars 49 through 52 to this:

                    C2...........         harmonics............
|-0---------------|-----3---2h3p2----|-0-------------!12--|--------------||
|-----0-----------|-----4------------|----!12-----!12-----|--------------||
|-------0---------|-----2------------|-------!12----------|--------------||
|-----------2-----|------------------|--------------------|--------------||
|-------------2---|-----2------------|--------------------|--------------||
|-0---------------|-0----------------|-0------------------|-!12-----0----||


but by far the most notable difference (which by the way i think is great, 
i love it!) in the cavatina recording is in the 8th last measure.  instead 
of playing the !5 harmonics, he taps the body of the guitar four times, a 
percussion mute which you hear in flamenco a lot.  it's great...
do it in time with the samba rhythm:  tap, tap-tap, tap

well that's enough from me.  comments and suggestions are welcome.
thanks to the whoever guy who tabbed half of this song was... bye!
