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!
Thumbing the baseline is important throughout the whole song. If you listen to the recording, the chord changes move straight with the guitar baseline and thats how I judged some of the chord changes I made.
In the verse, the low E descends on the first line and the A descends on the second line, then goes back up to reset for the third line, which goes down all the way from the A to the E. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
