¡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!
Probably better than the other version with one chord.
Strumming Pattern: ^^ (strum up twice per chord)
F#ms in brackets are optional. In case you don't play them strum the Bm six times and then F#m twice. If you are one of those who believe that sounds better if played in Cm then the chords are Bm-->Cm and F#m-->Gm.
