danza brasilera - jorge morel (b.1931)

tabbed by wim
wim@pulp-fiction.com

[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!
