1st traste
The intro part is pretty simple. You start on the highest string (E), and put your first
finger on the first
fret. Then you play it open. Go down to the next string (B), and place your third finger
on the third fret.
Then place your first finger on the first fret, still on the B string. And there you go.
Each note has 2 beats
like, bum, bum,(next string), bum, bum. And so on! Hope this helps.
