Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I play half step down, capo on second fret. This is probably played in standard tune
open so do whatever feels
right for your voice or ear. I do not believe this is the exact way Eric Bachmann plays
but it is the best I
could do by ear. The rhythm is fairly simple to pick up for the verse although it is
different on the chorus,
instead of hitting the base and strumming down up there will just be strums of a
different pattern. It is
fairly simple to figure out by listening to the song. As I said, this may not be 100%
accurate, if you find
places that could be corrected, feel free to let me know!
