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!
This is an incredibly simple way to play this song. I'm not saying it's exact, but it
works great playing acoustic. I alternate between barre and open chords with the G, as
it's easier to switch to a barred Gm from a barred G. I'll label the barred G's as G*. Have fun with it and
develop your own way to play it! But like I said, very simple, and a fun song to play. Hope you enjoy.
