mgustavo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Hi, I'd like to share my guitar version of brazilian popular music "Como é duro trabalhar" (Vinícius de Moraes / Toquinho). The song is a funny poem about a guy looking for work but also missing a woman to live with. The title could be translated as "How is it hard to work". It's a 70's bossa nova / samba tune and there's a riff played by a mono synthesizer, which I played here on a distorted guitar. Any comments are welcome! Thanks for listening! Best regards, Edited July 10, 2022 by mgustavo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgustavo Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Hi, if someone could listen to the music above and leave a comment it will be much appreciated!

RikF Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi mgustavo, I just listened to the original recording and I feel your rendition is missing the rhythm part and also an extra solo instrument , like that flute in the original. If you don' t have vocals it needs something. Good effort though ! Rik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi - have to agree with RikF - I've not heard the original but seems to be lacking something rhythmical - sure that would improve things a lot Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgustavo Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi @RikF and @Bajan Blue , thanks for the feedback! I'll try to add more rythm and instruments to the song! My first intent was to do a chord melody version but after listening again to the original song I saw how other elements can add more interest!
