"I was going to use my feet, but thought that too adventurous for my channel"

hahahaha!

[TheAlcedo]

Oh, I recently bought a cavaco, too! So I'd like to play this tune.

Did you tune in Dgbd, or in guitar tuning?

[robbourassaguitarist]

Guitar tuning, but higher.

[zapky123]

can you make a tutorial please? it really good and i would love how to play the exact way you did it.

[robbourassaguitarist]

I will do Here Comes The Sun for fingerstyle guitar in a few days, and then I will get to this one soon I hope.

[Shelligam]

It's an ukulele ?

[guitgeo]

Sounds like it's hard to keep it in tune...

[robbourassaguitarist]

Not at all. I just have it tuned way too low for the strings I have on it.

[lucianofritschy]

genial!

[figurespeech]

you r absolutely amazing i bow down to keep it up

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thanks for the info on that. I had questioned the etymology, but wasn't industrious enough to search it out, before I became sidetracked.

Thank you very much.

[Comboieiro]

well,

While I'm still trying to learn how to play an American instrument (the 5 string banjo) you already play a Portuguese instrument (cavaquinho).

Cavaquinho is a nickname for Cavaco, which is the actual Portuguese President's name "Cavaco Silva".

Cavaquinho is an instrument mostly used by Portuguese Academic Folk Bands and northern part of the country traditional folk groups.

[jackcornpeople]

[JubileeValence]

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thank you very much.

Absolutley fantastic, -- I'm working my way through '' Old Joe Clark '' on the banjo on one of Robs excellent teaching videos, and all these fantastic videos pop up as recommended viewing. I'm a fan, keep up the grreat work, and keep sharing.--Billy from Scotland

[johnfromedinburgh]

Thanks for introducing me to yet another beautiful instrument I had never heard of before. What a fantastic sound.

Pencil me in for a "field trip" to Gary Zimnicki's place in January, but I'll be in touch long before that.

Your website makes my day - every day.

Cheers Rob.

[robbourassaguitarist]

It will be good to see you.

[extremebordum]

another amazing performance from one of my fav guitarists.

[bach2117]

Another flawless performance, thanks again for all the good music.

[BirdmanWayne94]

Sounds wonderful my friend. Loved your performance... really, anything you can't play?!

[robbourassaguitarist]

I'm pretty bad with brass.

[rhopen]

ah, this is so nice. Loved it. -Ron

[Marcblur]

I really like the tone that has. I'd love to hear you do Tiny Little Babe or Tico Tico on that.

[PhilCLG4]

Hi Rob, Sounds great. Is there anything with strings that you can't play?//Phil

[staffansvahn]

Hello Rob,

Always wonderful to hear you play!

That is a fascinating instrument. Your friend seems to be a magical craftsman. I would love to try out some of his guitars.

Thank you for posting your talent.

Best regards

Staffan

[LStrachey]

Very nice -- how does one tune a cavaquinho -- is it like a steel string tenor ukulele?

[analyzingfunny]

Do you know what words are made of?

[robbourassaguitarist]

Spit and wind?

[analyzingfunny]

No, Silly, LETTER PEOPLE!!!! And, by the way that is a great sounding mandolin. You are a master. I guess *I* will have have to a cover of The Letter People if you wont. I sure would like to hear what you would with Let It Ride by BTO as well. You are a guitarists' guitarist, my friend. wow as always.
