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!
This version of the song has appeared elsewhere on the internet, I've just posted it
here so the correct version as the artist plays it is on UG.
I play it in open D tuning with a Capo on 2. Muffling the bar A and B chords in the
intro and first verse help give the rhythm to the song. Listen to the song and you'll figure
it out :)
