!notes emphasising to get melody to ring out - if not playing at point where chord comes in for the first time or on a snare hit you can pick individually * up pick so hands move naturally back to snare hit

[End] ----------------------------------- [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&
[Solo] With solo you can allude to it in chords Pick up - Dm Dm Dmadd9 (x57585) Dm Gm Gm7(B-6) F x Gm Gm7(B-6) F A with run
Run is 3 triplets then final phrase - pluck with fingers and thumb and emphasise the one of each triplet E -----10-13p10h13-10---------- B 10h13 -------------13p10----- G -------------------------- 10 D ------------------------s12
