Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Artist: Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mescaleros Song: Forbidden City Written: Joe Strummer Album: Rock Art and the X-Ray Style
Background: From the debut album released by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros in 1999. Author: Richard Grosser ([email protected])
Tuning: : Capo on 2nd fret (Hence all chords are up two semitones, or a tone)
Notes: 1. All 7th chords are played with the chord oscillating between the 7th and Major form, the up and down strokes. Hence it's easier with barre chords (not shown in the as above). 2. Where the chords are shown with triplets in brackets ...it's a quick, forceful(forte) staccato rhythm.
