João Bosco -Incredible Song/Sweet Tele Solo (who's the soloist BTW?)

[Lucidology]

Does anybody know who the guy playing the Tele Solo is
about 4 minutes in to it ....?

YouTube - João Bosco - Odilê Odilá (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-zhsHb8XY8&feature=related)

Lee Ritenour said about this song, after having performed it with Joao Bosco, that"Joao Bosco was one of those unique guitarist-singer combinatons that's able to play complex rhythmic patterns and sing counterpoint lyrics at the same time.

[Paulo Grua]

The guitar player is Nelson Faria (www.myspace.com/nelsonfariabrazilianguitar), a highly regarded brazilian guitarrist. Together with the bass player and the awesome drummer, Kiko Freitas, they have a brazilian/modern jazz trio, the Nosso Trio. Check this song out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGif0t-u1Q

The rhythmic work on Bosco's "Linha de passe" is fantastic.. I love Faria's playing also!

[Kalalau Hiker]

why don't you just send ALL your amazing cross genre finds directly to me via emails so I don't have to even bother coming on here and wading through the RF / LC / JM threads?
;):D

Loved it !!!

Do you know when duh gubment is going to stop spending billions on useless space travel and bombs and instead spend it to develop a vibrational mind transfer mechanism to override the female part of the brain that only likes one or two kinds of music, and hates long guitar solos, and transfer advanced musical appreciation DNA structures from a buddy that appropriately likes 5000 different kinds of guitar music?

I'm just REAL tired of looking through my CD collection and nixing 90% of it when my lady is here! :rotflmao..........;)

Hahahaha - It's true.
Why are women only capable to listen to 4 minutes long songs, and with a INTRO-A-B-Chorus-B-Chorus structure?

Anyway, just to keep this post more informative, check this other tune of Nosso Trio- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca-93teDPC8

[stevebandworks]

Faria's "Brazilian Guitar Book" is great.......

[Lammy]

Toninho Horta is another great player. Love those brazilian guys.

Hey, there are some names in this list that I didn't know of. Thanks!

And Armandinho is one of my favorites. His father actually created one of the first solid body string instrument (called "pau-elétrico" or "eletric-stick" - sorta-). There's no way to know for sure if who did it first, really, but it was way before Fenders became into production.

Anyway, urban legend or not, the guy is really a pioneer, as his family is, in brazilian music. The only drawback is his eletrci tone - he just loves Boss stuff through a Jazz Chorus.

THANK you so much!

one truly wonderful thing about TGP is people sharing their wealth of knowledge of beautiful and inspiring musicians here!

I love Bola Sete, Flora Purim, Gismonti ... and the old timers like Gilberto, Baden Powell, etc
recently turned on (on MANY levels..;)) .. to Badi Assad

The tele player is good, but João (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-zhsHb8XY8&feature=related)is my fave guitarist in that clip! Amazing.

Holy smokes that was good!

Crazy how Freitas keeps time on the hihat during the bass solo (among other things)

Heres another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A4Dj8Nn-e8&NR=1

[KRosser]

Bosco is amazing...Faria is great too - he does a lot more than he shows here.

Bosco's Chet Atkins looks exactly like mine...

Nelson Faria wrote my favorite book on Brazilian Guitar, the only one as far as I'm concerned: http://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Guitar-Book-Nelson-Faria/dp/1883217024

Helio Delmiro is one of my (al also John McLaughlin's) favorite players ever. Check this solo version of a Jazz classic

Thanks for the tip, Ken! I just ordered it and am looking forward to putting in the time.

for anyone who`s had the pleasure to watch Joao play solo ...I`ve yet to see any band of his capture the soul and subtle dynamics and swing that only he can summon up from the orixas .
I think the band with Marçal (perc in the OP video) and Robertinha Silva (ex Milton Nascimento) was even deeper than the OP video band which is a little fusion flashier in the sonics and note choice .
Joao is hypnotizing .
BTW Ken ... Last I heard he`d benched the Gibson Chet for a Turner RN6
in mid 2008

I did exactly the opposite in mid 2008!

[scottl]

Faria seems to be a Stern fan? Kind of Mike like without the display of chops. I even caught a blues bend in there that was Mike inspired. Thanks for the clip.

Must be the Northern/Southern hemispheres balancing out

I hope you like it. I got it right at the point I started doing a ton of gigs with a singer from Bahia so there was an immediate application for me. I love the way he explains so many different rhythmic feels and their variations, and unlike a lot of play-along CD's he nails the stuff so well I would put each example on a loop and play along for however long it toook me to get it to feel right.

I really like that book a lot.

Here is a young Nelson Faria playing for late brazilian singer Cassia Eller in a Rock n Roll setting... (check also part 2)

Is that a Bosco tune? Bosco has such wonderful tunes, but he is such a weak singer, I always find the mismatch between his tunes and his voice distracts me....

[Paulo Grua]

Good to see such admiration for brazilian artists here.

I think it's a Bosco tune..at least I associate it with him.

Personally, I like his voice for what it does, which to my ears comes across as having more of a percussive role than melodic, but I see where you're coming from!
