BOOKS || Best of Antonio Carlos Jobim (Hal Leonard Easy Guitar Books)



Here's another one of my finds from Hal Leonard Music Books, US$12.95. There are 14 songs and as usual some songs are not tabbed perfectly for bari-uke. But Brazilian bossa music uses some of the greatest sounding chord combinations. The following 7 songs are pretty much ready for bari:

Aqua de Beber
Dindi [the English pronounciation is "Gin-Gee"]
A Felicidade
Insensatez (How Insensative)
Amor em Paz (Love in Peace)
Corcovado (Quiet Nights & Quiet Stars)
So Danco Samba

Unfortunately, my favorite Garota de Ipanema will require some adjustment to work. The songs are a blend of single notes, double tones, 3-note-chords and full chords. The arrangements are the high quality that you come to expect from Hal Leonard.
