The intro and instramental break have the same chord progression, and are
fingerpicked with plenty of "ripples". They are played slightly differently each
time. Sorry, I haven't been able to decipher it yet, because of the mandolin. I
just kinda go with the flow and play with some scale runs. If anyone knows the
actual fingerpicked parts I would love to know them.
