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!
Tune one half-step down to play along with the record.
At live shows I believe they play it in standard,
but that's likely because 90% or more of their songs are in standard and they don't want to re-tune.
There's some cool little licks and lead parts throughout, I will try to tab them out one of these days,
but for now, this is the full chords so you can sing and play along.
