Note: Struming for the intro makes two sections of base-string (4 last
struming & treble-string (2 first strings, some say the 3 first
strings) struming. Down stroke for base-strings & up stroke for
treble-strings. Listen to the song again for struming. Some
hammering will go when you do the base-struming with your middle
& index finger. With the tabs below will help you to understand
the struming, it’s the same all the way. Csus2 will come out
during hammering.
