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!
Here's my version of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" for acoustic guitar.
I've given the chords - just listen to the song to put them where they
need to go - I like to use sus chords in place of many major and minor
chords because it leaves the voicings open to interpretation - However,
you can replace my sus chords with either major or minor chords, you'll
just need to see which works best for you (the original Who version has
dedicated major or minor chords) - it's a great song, so have fun.
