I marked this as advanced because the rhythm is hard to get right while singing at the same time.
The song also includes 7th harmonics from time to time, as is Raul's signature.
A 7th fret harmonic sound is produced when the guitar player places is index finger over all 6 strings on the
7th fret and barely touches them. The moment the guitarist strums, s/he should lift his/her index finger from
the strings so that the sound can last longer.
