Pop — Cavaquinho

In pop, rock or blues the cavaquinho is an unusual guest; it adds a bright, chopping rhythm layer, but it can't cover the low end a band expects. Catchy melodies, direct choruses, and polished production: pop is built to stick in your head from the very first listen. Here you'll meet the axis progression — which is simply the four-chord loop behind countless hits — and the axis rotation, the same sequence started from a different point to shift the mood.
