I'm from Slovakia. I like verry much bossa nova music, I checked your page and it's very cool! It really is! [...] Btw, the english translate is great idea. As for I don't know much Portuguese, and I want to learn it, cause it's fine language. '' |

``Your page is real cool. Your Bossa Nova transcriptions have helped me a lot to improve my harmonies. I've always found Gilbertos's guitar harmonies very difficult to follow and/or to copy. With your "little" help now it has become possible. I think your work is being appreciated by all bossa nova lovers around the world. Congratulations for your homepage and interest in Brazilian music. '' |

Dear Jason, I am very interessted by your site. For many years I've been searching for good tabs of brazilain music, but very often in vain until I came across your site. Now I am learning the songs of GETZ/GILBERTO from your tabs. They sound good! So I'm waiting impatiently for the other songs: Doralice, Ogrande Amor, So Danco Samba, Vivo Sonhando. Being not accustomed with portuguese language, I must listen at the record to try to sing those songs. So congratulations and thanks for your help. '' |

I can usually figure out a song just by listening, but in some cases, such as is the case with bossa nova, it takes so long and there are usually some parts that don't sound really right. Therefore I'm pretty much dependant on transcriptions, and I'm really glad to have found these.'' |
