That was very cool. "Chega de Saudade" is one of my favorite songs. And here's my favorite version:

I just love João Gilberto's playing and relation with the guitar, always felt he was very underrated as a guitarist. I saw him twice in concert at Carnegie Hall back in the day. An amazing experience !

Thank you and I agree. Brazilian guitarists for the most part are highly underrated.

Nice John! Coincidentally I stayed up late last night learning the chords and rhythm of the Joao Gilberto version. The way the bass notes move and the simple but effective voicings make it so beautiful. I noticed that some of his chord qualities were slightly different than the realbook chords, I guess his version isn't the definitive version or something.
