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!
Positions relative to capo. The weird G# chord is just a G moved up another fret.
The Em/F# is a passing chord, just for the bass accent, you'll hear it's very short.
I deliberately left out the No Chord parts from the last verse just so you can play along if you want to.
