¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
A beautiful song, played to a bossa nova rhythm on the recording. Sounds lovely in its' incarnation, even with the reverb drenched 80's production, and stays just as strong on solo acoustic guitar. Bliss!
The timing is a cinch, one bar per chord change
