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!
Just thought I'd finish what Lyrical posted, and make a couple minor corrections. Remember to add
some flavor to the chords, ie: D at the end of a verse. I also gave examples of Em(9) & D6/9...easy
chords, but sometimes hard to find in some chord books. Enjoy!
