Hello everyone! Here's a transcription for Joao Gilberto's "Lobo Lobo", the second track in his 1959 album
Chega de Saudade. It's a very short song (1:21 minutes in the album version) but it's really fun to play. The
song basically uses maj7, m7, dom7 and dim7 chords, so being consistent with the fingering makes it easier to
remember it, specially in the fast changes, like G13 G7(#5) G7.
but once you've learned the chord changes feel free to try new fingerings and tensions, this is
where the fun lies! As usual, you can find the chord shapes I use at the beginning.
Have fun and comment for suggestions!
