VERSE
[This next sound is created using a chopper effect- to recreate it 
without this, firstly hold the plectrum so your finger and thumb 
 almost cover it, and so you have full control of it.
Quickly perform alternate strumming on the string you're playing on, 
maintaining some, but not all rhythm. 
As you do this, place your fingers on the frets shown below, keeping 
most rhythm with your fingers.]
I have tried to make it easier to understand, but just listen to the
song, and put the notes below to it.
