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 nice way to play this acoustic would be to let 1 guitarist play the tabs below

First thing I'd do is go back in time take the twin towers, put it back in the skyline

Man i sucked as a quarterback remember getting sacked man almost broke my back
