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!
This is the acoustic version of the wonderful 'Rest' by Michael Kiwanuka, the way it was
played in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew2DaeI9ZnI
The studio version is half a note lower, so if you want to play it that way you can
either transpose the chords a half step down or tune your guitar in Eb.
