Note:
!!! The song is played in a Double-Drop-D Tuning (High and Low E-Strings are tuned a full step down)
The Fingerstyle-Pattern is derived from the more common Pattern known as Folk- or Travis-Picking,
however, he uses his Index-Finger to play the D-String (4th String), Middle Finger for G-String and Pinkie
for B-String, while the Thumb only plays the lower two strings.
Once you got it down, it repeats throughout the whole song with only some exceptions.
