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!
Tuned a half-step down with no capo. If you want to match how Jurado plays it live, tune a whole step down
with a capo on 1. Add hammer-ons on the 2nd string of the Asus2 chord to turn it into an A as needed to sound
like the record.
