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!
As of now, May 2016, I don't believe there's an album version of this song. My favorite recording, and the one
I used to write the lyrics is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE7VYaWSeIA
It's a nice mix of strumming and fingerpicking. You'll have to listen a few times to get a hang of the rhythm
and what you want to do with it. Just chords sounds nice too. It's a beautiful song; hope you enjoy!
Update: In April 2017 "Carolina" was released on the album, "Turn Your Face to the Sun".
That version has capo on the 6th fret. I've also made some corrections to the lyrics.
