5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D GCapotraste: Sem capotraste
Track released 1987 by Amy MacDonald, acoustic cover of Bruce Springfield’s
Eighties classic. Tab by bass50611. No bass on Amy’s acoustic version,
however seeing as I have a bass ukulele thought it would be nice to have a
simply bassline behind her guitar. Song is on YouTube with lyrics.
