Diego Luna and Gustavo Santaolalla
==============================================================================================================
Standard Tuning (E A D G B E)
HOW TO PLAY:
Originally played using only top three strings (except for the C chord, which uses 4)
Chords are written with four strings, which give it a fuller feel, but can still be played with three.
