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!
The main riff is quite simple, just a Bm and then a quick slide from C# to D.
Listen for the feel, which is the important thing.
I believe he plays it in half-step down tunned guitar, which makes the chords simpler, but not a big problem
to shift them half-step for standard tuned guitar.
