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 was asked by a bartender at a bar that I play open mic nite to play this song the
next time I come by. I tried to use the other version that was already on
this site and I didn't like it. So after trying to listen to the original
album version and looking at youtube covers, I came up with this. Hopefully
you also prefer this version over the latter. Listen to the song if it
helps with the rhythm and the chord placements. Also, be sure to rate and/or
comment on this tab when you've made your final judgement.
