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 riff plays sporadically throughout the song. Can also be played on the B string as shown later.
Sometimes between B bars an E chord is thrown in (listen closely to the song to hear how often they do it),
but you can do that as much or as little as you like.
