Short Montuno pice, lead is played by guitar.

A rhythm study based around a minor II-V-I in C, presenting five different rhythms examples that can be used and adapted also to other songs in this style.

Patterns covering bossa-nova comping. Bass pattern root-fifth. All examples over typical harmony progression of the style.

Typical and short harmony progressions played with stylish patterns. Patterns usable for bossa and samba depending on the tempo you choose.

Focused mostly on Rebirth album, and you will see a few licks Angra use to create their songs.
