¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This is a song Colin has played live a few times, although it doesn't appear yet on an
It is possibly one of my favorite of his songs, and it's pretty simple. From the videos
watched of him playing it, these chords seem to be close to what he plays, and they
good. Side note, there's a guy online who has a cover of it, and his chords sound
wrong and he's playing them at the wrong times to his singing of it, what a fool.
Enjoy! (watch Colin's live shows for strumming)
also, the song is meant to be played on 12-string acoustic, so it would sound much
if you used that. However, I don't own one, so I make due with 6 string.
----song title has been changed to "This is Why We Fight" and will be on upcoming
album "The King is Dead"----
