Ukulele version in A Major shorter with slower tempo than the formal Mariachi versions. Best played with root note on beat 1 and chords on beats 2 and 3 to sound like Dah ching ching, Dah ching ching. First downstroke may be fanned. Can be played with a swing feel. Loosely based on Vicente Fernandez classic: https://youtu.be/cDT12zAWDuM.Was this info helpful?
