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!
These are the chords for the song, although its a repetition of string picking, its

I put the F chord twice throughout the song to emphasis that it gets two measures (8
beats) instead of one measure (4 beats)
