This is my transcription on "guitarra baiana" (electric mandolin) for Django Reinhardt's version of "I'll see you in my dreams".

I'm playing over Django's recording.

The instrument is a GUITARRA BAIANA model called CAICÓ, made by luthier ELIFAS SANTANA from Bahia, Brasil.

It is tuned in fifths, C, D, G, A, E, from low to high.

  • Boa noite Marcos (e desculpe -- o meu portugues nao e muito bom). Mas, por que voce chama essa "a guitarra baina"? tchau, David

  • @mandowave Hi, David.

    In Brazil we invented this instrument back in 1940's and we have a large history behind it. It was invented as "Pau-Elétrico" (Electric Stick) by DODÔ and OSMAR in Bahia during second world war, and in the late 70's began to be called GUITARRA BAIANA.

    We have many skilled players of this instrument here in Brazil, the most known is Armando Macedo, Osmar's son.

    Your portuguese is quite good, by the way!

  • That was cool! is that standard guitar tuning UP 1 octave?

  • It's tuned like this: C3 G3 D4 A4 E5.

  • Mano, muita boa essa sonoridade se aproxima do bandolim, o que usou?

    Um abraço a parabéns.

  • Guitarra Baiana limpa direto no amp, com um pouco de reverb. O captador é um EMG SA (o do braço). Valeu pelo comentário!
