    I've never played any choro. This melody is new to me, but I don't think anyone else's version would be vastly superior to yours. The playing is flawless, and it all sounds very professional.

    Sounds great Jairo! Do you have a link to the notation? I'd like to play this.
    Also how did you do the backing track? And can you post a photograph of your mandolin? I really like the tremolo.
    Thanks, it's nice to hear different genres of music here on SAW.

    Lovely playing, Jairo. Your lead playing is so clear and clean and I like the backing you have added and the rhythm it creates.

    I’m sorry Jairo, I meant how do you do your backing track?
    I sometimes use the iPhone app iReal Pro and cut out everything except the bass line which is often from a jazz file rather than pop or folk because I find the basslines are more interesting. Then I send the backing track to BandLab, it’s an app for sharing music.
    [Bandlab incidentally, I'm going to use a lot less because I have been inundated with spam porno emails and lots of other bizarre, seemingly random distractions] .

    But anyway I use that app to mix and master the backing track with my octave mandolin track. Then download it back to my telephone as an MP4. Then it's ready to upload to YouTube.

    -and we are together on this one! My octave mandolin is a cheap Chinese (or rather Vietnamese) import too, but I love it! Of course I’d like to have an instrument that was made locally or by someone I know, or even half build it myself, but such is life.

    Jairo, I like this choro and you played very well.

    Simon, there is a lot of sheet music in the web. And we find it in our edition of “Brasilian Choros” by Mike Marshall in the key of Fmaj.

    Your newer version very nicely played Jairo.
