[More Notes]                                               
Nice idea for drum fill + guitar at same time to get &1xx 2xx 3x&       
Strum up with all fingers of right hand and then back down with thumb      
to play the snare for 1& then play snare and fingers together for          
2xx then just snare on 3 and then just fingers with bass for x&

Run is 3 triplets then final phrase - pluck with fingers and thumb and emphasise the one of each triplet
