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!

Hey! Nick from Not My Weekend here, just tabbin' out our new song, "When You're Around". We're really excited
that people want to play our tune! It's not too tricky, and only has 6 chords and a few simple riffs.
The guitar is tuned a whole step down on the record, but I'll tab this in standard.
