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!
I'm pretty sure these aren't the actual chords used in the song, but since it's an acoustic version it sounds better played this way. Listen to the song, and sing along to get the strumming pattern. Everything needs to be slowed down to sound right, but it's pretty easy. Enjoy!
