[Notes]
[Intro Riff]
A ----57-57-57-57-57-----starts on 1 - basically play this 5th to 7th fret
figure 5 times across beat with pause at end before
repeating loads louder and louder strumming
Use similar muting technique for when playing without and with drums
but have wider strum with drums to fill out sound more and get more percussive sound in there
1st finger for low parts, 2nd and 4th for high all the time apart from the low C when use 2nd finger
