Hello from Brazil - I'm Yuri for Rio de Janeiro

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hi all,

I’m Yuri (27) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I started studying music in Dec 2008, after getting a classical guitar from my grandma. The funny fact is that in Brazil we use the classical guitar to play typical regional songs (MPB) and bossa nova/samba due to nylon strings’ sound.

Throughout all of those years, I’ve been playing a lot of samba and bossa nova songs, and also played for five years in a catholic church, playing religious songs, where I also learn a little bit about how to play drums.

After years of playing my guitar, I bought a p-bass in 2020 to try something new, so since then, I’m studying both instruments as a hobby.

Hello Yuri, a very warm welcome to the community.
We do have a few people whose preference is to play a nylon string guitar so it will be great for you all if you can share tips and experiences etc.
Cheers

Hi Yuri, welcome. Feel free to share any of the songs you already play. Although you may have covered some of the ground already, Justin Guitar lessons can be very good to enhance and develop the skills you already have. Just in case, do not get confused with the names of the notes. The equivalency is one to one. A-B-C… is Lá-Si-Dó… you’ll get accustomed if you haven’t got already.
