Hijo de la Luna with chords

The five verses of the song are played in the same way.

We will therefore only look at introduction, verse 1, chorus and the two bridges.

Introduction | Hijo de la Luna with chords

Here are the first three chords you will need to learn and know to play the introduction. These positions will also be useful for the rest of the song :

When you have mastered these chords, you can start to play this music with your guitar following this grid :

The grid is read from left to right, from top to bottom. Each square represents a measure of 4 beats (one, two, three, four, if you count the rhythm).

If a square is divided in two OR if two, three or four chords appear, you will know that you have to play them in a four beat measure. If you don’t succeed, watch my videos or listen to the music, as it is sung/played at this time and do the same.
