  Very nice. I have already gotten the beginning and this seems like a good song to get back into fingerpicking for me. Simple melodies sounds so good when they are picked this way.

  Very suitable with a Spring tune (for us Swedes that is) - thanks Gera!

Hello everyone, today I´ll bring a piece by may friend and fellow guitarist Mariano Fraga. It has an irregular time signature where the duration of the beats aren´t even. This tie signature is 3+3+2 eights, and it is very common in music from South America. This kind of time signature are also called "additive" time signatures and can be found in popular pieces like Libertango by Piazzolla or "Mission Impossible" by Lalo Schifrin.
The melody goes on each beat and the upper line plays the subdivisions. The chords uses a lot of open strings and it is very suitable for guitar.
As always full fingered score is provided. Hope you like it!
