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!
it should look something like this. hope that helps in square brackets I placed chords you can use if original ones too difficult to you
G6 [G](000023) - from 1st string to 6th Em* [Em](000420) C (310230) C#m7b5 (x5454x) Cmaj7 [C](x5453x) or (354533) Gmaj9 [D](53045x) - just like C chord, just move it 2 frets higher. F#11b9 (000423) - add D string to G6 A7 (020200) G (330023) Esus2 (000420) B5 (000422) - those 2 chords are similar to F#11b9
pay attention to his specific way to play it with his right hand.
