Discover the paths of Brazilian Harmony with Master Mozart Mello​

Discover sophisticated ideas within the simple

Listening to Brazilian music is part of our routine! Playing and experiencing is an amazing experience! It's discovering sophisticated ideas within the "simple", diversity and incredible authors and musicians.

HARMONY, MELODY AND THE RHYTHMIC UNIVERSE

Brazilian music is highly respected all over the world. Just pick up a guitar and play something from our repertoire. Musicians (amateurs or professionals) or music lovers will be impressed by the sound... be it the harmony, melody or the incredible rhythmic universe.

REDISCOVERING MUSIC

I confess that when I started studying and making arrangements I started to “rediscover” our music. I bet it will happen to you too. I became more of a fan of our music and a much greater respect. For me a path of no return.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Hello everyone, in this lesson (Lesson 1), the objective is to prepare your right hand by introducing styles like Bossa Nova, Samba, Fast Samba, and Baião. I incorporated harmonizations that capture the sonic characteristics of each style.

I think you have to make “your sound” no matter the style, but we need parameters or references for this study or research. My background is rock, but I went to study a little of each style and today my admiration and respect for Brazilian music and its influences are enormous. In this course I will pass on “my vision” of Brazilian music, what I learned together with my students and which I consider fundamental for the formation of any guitarist or even guitarist. Let’s play all the time!!
