Instrumentalist, arranger and composer Nelson Faria trained in L.A. with the chord melody master Ted Greene before returning to Brazil where Faria became one of the most important names for guitar workshops, seminars, recording sessions and concerts performing and recording with artists including Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, João Bosco, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Toninho Horta. Nelson Faria has released seven albums, six books and worked as arranger and guest soloist for the likes of North Sea Jazz festival.
