I play guitar and tell my secrets to audiences. When I don’t hate the world, I’m completely in love with it. My passions in life are music, graphic design, laughing and making people laugh, having awesome conversations, the internet, the concept of love, and attempting to solve problems and/or win hearts through catchy songs of hope.
My favorite part of playing music is paying my dues. I like to work hard and be rewarded.
¡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!
This song is really nice and chordy and rather fun to play around a campfire or something like that. It's not the most popular song she's written but I really enjoy it quite a lot. SO MANY FEELS. Anyway.
Capo 3, in D# maj. You're going to have to know some basic finger-picking to play this song. If you really want to, you can use the flick and slap technique, which is very nicely explained here:

I feel it adds a good percussive touch, but it's not necessary. Other than that, though, this song only has a few changes that you'll get used to quickly with a bit of practice.
A few more notes, there are little hammer-ons she does on C, Am, and G during the verses. If you listen to the song they're rather prominent. All you've got to do is unfret that specific string (for C and A it's the D string and for G it's the A string) and hammer back on in eighth notes. Another thing, during the verses there's this little chromatic line that moves up a fret from the G chord to the G# note, then rests on Am. All you have to do is move your finger up the E string from fret 3 to fret 4 on beats 1 and 3 before making the switch.
