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 prefer Roderick's solo version that he does on tour, so I made chords for that.
Here is the version I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fvb6XL-vAM
This is the most ridiculously syncopated song I've ever tried to play, so the chord
location will be off in certain places. I tried to match the sounds and the chords
as best as I could.
The intro is in 4/4. Nice and easy. The verses are in 5/4 time, and the choruses
are (mostly) 2 bars of 7/4, 2 bars of 5/4, 2 bars of 7/4, and 2 bars of 5/4. The
bridge part with the Em is in 3/4.
