Watch Mimi Fox Perform "Triste" on a 1965 DiGiorgio Serie Artistica Autor No. 3 Guitar

The guitar heard on Brazilian bossa nova recordings is most often the DiGiorgio Serie Artistica model. Here, Mimi Fox plays “Triste” on a 1965 DiGiorgio Serie Artistica Autor No. 3, one of 27 instruments offered in the Acoustic Guitar Auction that begins May 13, 2021.
The Autor 3 was the workshop's top-of-the-line model and was the guitar of choice for such bossa nova innovators as Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and Baden Powell.
This instrument was built by Reinaldo di Giorgio in 1965. Among its distinctive features are round brass tuners decorated front and back with mother-of-pearl.

64 years old and she can still play better than these people complaining about picks or fingers. This was awesome, bravo!

[@rogerinhors2009]

i had one like that, it had sound really good.

Muito bom!

Interesting ideas..

[@jamesmcgill88]

This instrument not meant for pick. All the bossa players used fingers

[@petercampanelli1062]

She is not playing bossa? Have you never heard of an arrangement?

[@donovandonovan9944]

Would have liked to hear this played with a finger style. Picks on nylon strings dont have the finesse

[@JimB802]

Donovan (x's2) I thought the same but go to 1:41 and slow waaaay down the .25 speed and you can see that Mimi is using her thumb on the downstroke and index finger (sometimes the thumb and index separate) on the upstroke.

@@JimB802 You're right, but I still would like to hear the sound of a thumb instead of a pick
