5 Cheap Guitars That Are Actually Great
Afinação: Eb Ab Db GbCapotraste: Sem capotraste
NOTE: Live version is tuned 1/2 step down (Gb, Db, Ab, Eb)
There are slight variations between the live version and the official audio
so this is basically a combined attempt of those two versions.
Let me know if anything is wrong at @samantha_and_a_half on instagram :)
