Ok so I love playing this song, its allot of fun. This song is NOT easy to play
correctly because of how its played. Its what's called Vamp, a spanish style i
believe from Cuba. so ill try to explain it best as i can. another reason it can
be hard is because of the polyrhythm between the lyrics and the chords. if ya got
any questions ask
