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!
The bulk of the song is a progression from open A, barred D and E, up to high barred A (12th fret). The
paterns of playing these chords make the song; it's hard to describe but easy to pick up by listening to the
song. In the intro, post-chorus refrain and final outro, play the bass note
followed by the chord. In the verse it's played as simple downstrokes. You can also vary whether the final A
is played high or low to mix it up a little. In the chorus there's a quick down-up strumming pattern, again
the easiest thing would be to listen to the song to get the idea.
