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!
there are no split chords in the song; when I write F/C, the guitar plays an F chord
and the bass hits a C. the start has a syncopated rhythm, so you'll have to listen
to the song to pick that up.
