The hardest part will be learning the right hand's plucking + percussion. Every other beat, you will be muting
only the thumb string with a bit of a percussive slap while tapping another string with another finger.
The song opens up looping one bar 4 times. Master this bar with the correct right hand technique and the
rest of the song will follow!
I personally like finishing without the whole acoustic outro, but there is a baller tab for that by
Jeff White on Youtube if you want to learn that.
s: slap
m: thumb only mute
