Pagode on guitar

Pagode on guitar: the progressions pagode cycle (I–vi–ii–V) and climb (ii–V–I), each with audio on its own page. The acoustic guitar sits at the very heart of Brazilian music: bossa nova was practically invented on it, and it carries samba, choro and MPB with equal ease.

Pagode is samba around a circle of friends: warm, romantic, and inviting, made for singing along from start to finish. On this page you'll find the pagode cycle — that is, a loop of chords that circles back to the start without ever wearing out — and the climb, a ii-V-I that pulls the harmony back to the home chord.
