Intro - play hammer on with little finger so easier to finger notes and keep ringing

Alternative idea - play Fshape chords with F7 fingering but mute the 7th with second finger - frees up little finger to play notes of the solo - e.g. 810x988 and 13x211 Strumming guitar pattern - play bass note, pluck top notes with fingers - first 2 8th notes then play for rest of bar with chords offbeat then for the 'right down' chords pluck all staccato
