spent a week recently with yamandu costa first thing in the morning he was playing lunch break back to it dinner break concert beer break with guitar in hand... still seen at 3am playing/jamming in the bistro [one case 7am in someones hotel room] next day same thing this went on for 7days... then he flew to rio..continuing the same thing i imagine. one thing i did noticed was no 'exercises' as such..just phrases from his pieces...some composing...or playing traditional tunes...yamandu is 30 yrs old, been playing the guitar since a child, mainly on the streets with his dad at first, loves flamenco and classical guitar though does'nt perform in these styles... whether it's flamenco or any type of music i guess this is what they do....they being 'masters' or jedi's!... sure there's juggling family...promotion etc..but this experience with a master of samba/choro guitar gave me an insight that was at once all inspiring and at the same reduced me to tears!!! so much respect for the instrument and other people...absolute joy to see...
