Right Hand Subtleties - The Girl From Ipanema

This is perhaps the most famous piece of Brazilian Music across the world. I used it here as a way to demonstrate nuances for the right hand. Basically I focus in three parts: thumb, index and the duo (middle and ring finger).

 The Thumb keeps a straight pulse on the downbeat of 1 and 2 in every measure. The upper voices of the chords are played by middle&ring as the index is often left for percussive effect by deadening it's part of the chord voicings (ghost notes). I apologize for having tried to sing :)
