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!
Pretty straight forward song but the Gmaj7 and Asus2 chords may have eluded beginners
when trying to work out this great track.
These 2 chords give it that airy, atmospheric vibe (that and half a ton of reverb!)
In the second half of the chorus try to emphasise that top note (F#) of the Gmaj7 chord. Enjoy!
