Leny Andrade - "When I think about Brasil, I think about "Violao" (that's what we call the nylon string guitar in our country). The art of playing "Violao" looks simple, but it isn't and this book shows how to assimilate and how to understand this art. This makes me feel happy. With talent and clear information, Nelson will help guitar players all around the world to enjoy all the pleasures of this wonderful instrument. -- Make good use of this excellent musical book!"
Toninho Horta - "Nelson Faria was the right person to write this book, which contains examples and transcriptions of Brazil's greatest guitarists. This talented musician and dedicated music professor has a deep knowledge of Brazilian music and its rhythmic, melodic and harmonic subtleties."
Joe Diorio - "Nelson Faria's book is a welcome addition to the guitar literature. I'm sure those who work with this volume will benefit greatly."
