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!
These are just the chords as I heard them, and there is always the possibility that I've made a mistake.
I have not included the specific picking pattern because I haven't really found it yet. I've
just been trying different patterns out, I would encourage you to do the same. I play this song without a
capo, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.
