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!
A super cool song by the brilliant Rickie Lee Jones. The guitar player on the track does a real
subtle and tasty job. Many times the change-up from the Bm9 and the Bm7 chords are a single
note pull-off of the 9 to the root on the 1st string while the chord rings out.
There's a fragment of an A chord as well in the changes such as
"A Bm7 Bm9 Bm9 b a b f# Bm7". I didn't feel the need to tab it out. Don't over think it.
Pop on some head phones and listen several times first and you'll get it.
Well worth the effort and a wonderful addition to anyone's repertoire.
