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 original song is in C# but I raised a half going to Dm since it sounds better for accoustic
guitar and the solo part is optional instead, you can play only the chorus chords once or twice
and go back to the rest of the song untill the end in case the solo doesn't make sense to you.
This version is for people intending to play with only one guitar but in case you have a partner it
will sound good on solo because you can do the chords while the partner drops the solo.
