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 picked up this record a couple of days ago and fell in love with this song immediately. adorable
note that the last C in each verse is actually the first C of the chorus
in the intro, you should vary the Dsus4 by making that f# a g (i.e. make string 4 fret 4 a 5)
