J.A.M. La ViDa

Hey there!!

I have a new song to share with you guys. This cover was recorded yesterday night. Hope you guys like it......

Well, i'm beginning to like this song more and more actually. I find it rather soothing and peaceful. Don't you think so? A beautiful friend of mine introduced this song to me recently. In fact, she is the same person who sang in the video...hehe.... =)

In my point of view, i think that this is an easy song to begin with for new guitarists. The chords are not that hard and it's pretty easy to move around on the fret board as not much movement is needed. Well, as for the strumming pattern, it's rather simple... DDU UDU...D=down and U=up... and also practice makes perfect so practice hard and wish u all the best. GBU!!! =)

Burning underneath the rain
But this is not the same...
