Cavaquinho is a brazilian instrument very used in Samba and Pagode genres. Cavaquinho is an instrument with 4 chords tuned in re-si-sol-re, re-si-sol-sol, mi-do#-la-la mi-re-si-sol and re-la-si-mi (a very unique combination used in Portugal). It has a very high pitched sound and that is it's beauty. The Cavaquinho is used in Mozambique, Portugal and Brazil.
My desire to learn the Cavaquinho is big. It is a very fun instrument because ou pick fast and the sound is "cool"

Fun post and videos. I liked all of the songs. Is the cavaquinho difficult to learn if you already know how to play the guitar?
