João Pernambuco (1883–1947) was a Brazilian guitarist and composer who played a major role in developing Brazilian guitar music. Born João Teixeira Guimarães in Pernambuco, Brazil, he became known for blending traditional Brazilian folk rhythms with classical guitar techniques. His compositions, especially Sons de Carrilhões, remain important in the classical guitar repertoire and influenced later Brazilian musicians and composers.

A review of cheap generic guitar supports purchased off amazon for $30. Both had serious problems and are not recommended. The supports I look at are generic brands found on Amazon:

• Tuoren Guitar Support (a clear ripoff of the Ergoplay support)
• Nassmosse Guitar Support (obviously ripoff of a Guitarlift).

I’d be curious to try more and will post more here if I do. This Milisten might have a better fastener for example.

If you want a good guitar support here are some ideas

See my full article of various Reviews of Guitar Supports. From suction cups, to clamps, to magnets there is a guitar support for everyone. At home I use the ErgoPlay Troster.

• Voyager from Le Support – This is the support I’ve mainly be using these days, but I also like the pro model which is bigger. This is my new personal favourite.
• ErgoPlay Guitar Support – I use the Tröster model and recommend this as a first support for lots of students.
• Guitarlift – Guitarlift started the back mounted supports and they are great. Good and super solid, fits more sizes and positions of players than Le Support. I actually recommend this support quite often. I use the “Ultimate model, Matte Black”
• Woodside Guitar Support – Clamp System (no suction cups), highly adjustable, great solution.
