Yes! Choro has to be play in a personal way; improvised variations, rhythm pattern that will make you dance!
Villa Lobos Choro 1
Here I play with my dear friend Derek Spigener, legendary country music drummer who is also a fantastic jazz cat. He put together a more-than-original set of percussion to play with me. And we had good, a very good time!

I put together some detailed lessons to show you slowly how to play the Preludes and Choro 1. You can find the DVD right there:
Wes Montgomery Jazz Guitar Legends is an amazing DVD. I am a guitarist and have been searching for footage of Wes Montgomery since I discovered his playing when I was 14 year old.
Wes playing in a very relaxed atmosphere and he clearly is enjoying himself. I’ve never seen any footage of Wes before so this dvd is a welcome addition to my home.
It is a treat to see him execute those great lines with such ease. A great study on the artistry of one of the greatest jazz guitarist of all time. The bonus material of Wes in Belgium makes it a definite “Must Have” DVD.
The camera angles focus mainly upon the fretboard, enabling us to see how beautiful jazz guitar is when it’s played well. If you like jazz guitar, you need this.
