Last year (2024) at Choro Camp it was clear that we needed to offer more support to people who were relatively new to cavaquinho. So this year I plan to prepare a series of simple cavaquinho accompaniments to each tune in the 2025 Core Repertoire. I'll prepare both a lead sheet with the chord voicings I'm using and one or more videos demoing a simple "levada" (strumming pattern) you can use more or less throughout. I'll post them in the Cavaquinho section of the Forum. See you there, cavaquinistas!
The first of these relatively simple accompaniments is now available in the Cavaquinho sub-forum -- Jacob do Bandolim's polca, Saracoteando. Enjoy!
The second of these relatively simple accompaniments is now available in the Cavaquinho sub-forum -- Rossini Ferreira's "Art-e-manhas do Marquinhos". Enjoy!
