Thanks Andrew, these all have been very helpful to find a thread into the tunes.
What are you using for your backing rhythms that you're playing to?

One good tool you might consider getting is an app called eBatuque. That has a wide variety of rhythms to play along with and learn from. With that app, you can isolate specific instruments. Very cool.

Have fun!
