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!
The song is in F#, so tune down a half-step to play in G. I used a video (linked below), so the timing
might be slightly different from the studio version.
Note on the C/G chords: when he goes G C/G G, he's hammering his middle finger 2nd fret D string,
index finger first fret B string, so it'll look like a C chord with your ring finger on the E (to make a G
bass note instead of C). Other times he just plays a C/G where he uses his pinky on the A string and ring
finger on the E. As for the C6, he just hammers his middle finger on the 2nd fret G string. Lots of middle
finger hammer ons, and he does some fancy bass note stuff that I tried to reflect below. Usually has his
pinky on the 3rd fret high e!
Enjoy!
