Samba (guitar - chord changes of Samba da Rosa)

A little samba exercise using the chord changes of Samba da Rosa (often sung and played by Vinicius de Moraes and Toquinho). The basic chord progression is harmonic A minor: Dm7/G7/Cmaj/Fmaj/Bm7b5/E7/Am/A7. At some point I use different voicings with addition chords: Dm7/G7 Ddim/Cmaj7 Em7/Fmaj7 Am7/Bm7b5 Dm7/Fdim E7/Am/A7. At the end the chord sequence is Bm7b5/E7/Am7/ Am7 (G in the bass), D7(F# in the bass)/Fmaj7 ER7/Am.

Very good man. Do you have this exercise in pdf?? Where did you get this exercise?

[Flamencoblues]

@EduBauerReis Thanks very much. There is no pdf. I made it up but it is based on a very common A minor chord progression using various voicings. I now posted the basic chord progression in the video description, which I hope may help you to figure out the left hand.
