I have aleady posted this question on a another foro but nobody seemed to have a idea.
And since you can find countless great guitarist ,here on the foro, I thought you might have a idea. I do know that Baden Powell is not a flamenco guitarrst, but I think he makes often use of Flamenco technique.
I have great trouble with figuring out what the great master Powell is doing on this particular live version of Samba de uma nota so.
I am mainly talking about the part that starts at 00:46. It seems as it would be a very fast arpeggio picking pattern but i can not figure out what he is doing. I could not find a transcription of this particular version and have not seen anybody playing it the same way. Maybe somebody knows what Powell is doing ,or a tune that is played in a similar way.

Hi Lars It's an incredibly fast samba pattern !!! This version by Raphael Rabello breaks it down http://youtu.be/yyx0Ea7PmDg
He is playing in a samba - Choro - Afro style Pretty much his own creation He was certainly an important and amazing guitarist
Would need to slow the audio down to really hear what's going on microphone in the way of the right hand
He somehow gets partita alto accents in the 16th - 8th - 16th grouping Thumb playing on the beat I'm also hearing a fast 3 note grouping .. Like a backward arpeggio accented as a dotted eight
If you learn 'samba triste ' by Baden Powell it is similiar in structure Free intro Fast samba Music easily avail Some better right hand shots Looks neat and effortless The magic some guitarist spin
I guess Yamandu Costa carries much of Baden Powell's legacy Since childhood he has known that repertoire Some better right hand shots of a samba pattern But some mighty crazy stuff going on as well
On this there is a little section on Baden Powell and has the four bar pattern that Val is describing. You would probably need the booklet as he doesn't spend much time breaking it down.
It is an excellent DVD to have if you are into Brazilian guitar. I think it might be region one only so take care.

Hello AlVal,
Oh thank you very very much. Samba triste is the thing I was looking for. I start learning it, since I think you can find tabs for that one. Then I will start to apply the technique to samba de uma nota so.
Thank you very much
If somebody has other ideas on this topic, please feel free to share your knowledge:)
and it looks like a repackaging of the Tonos stuff.
These seem to be engravings from handmade notes from Powell himself and only reflect his own compositions and . I have seen a few transcriptions around for All The Things You Are, Black Orpheus and a few others but only online.
And it does have the kinds of patterns found in the later playing of Baden Powell. But I found it a really weird read. I hear everything one semiquaver displaced from where he writes things (and indeed you get exactly what is in Nelson Farias book if you displace them back ).
It is annotated solely in spanish and there is no tab only standard notation (which I like) so some may find it unhelpful. But there are lots of great patterns and stuff and I think you can find it floating around scribd. Email me if you want the MP3's.

Thanks David My bad I meant the Tonas books .. Would help Lars along with a slowed down audio and ears to the speakers The pereira material is certainly more in the groove and a solid resource
I too enjoy standard notation and seems the norm when it comes to Brazilian guitar Had pressed to think of any reliable tabs Haven't checked the GSP catalogue for some time They were going to release/transcribe some Raphael Rabello pieces some years back Must investigate
