The synth violins start here. I suggest that you look at the chords that
the notes form, and use whatever natural fingering you would for that
chord.

The rest is just heavy strumming with lots of open strings. You will
have to listen to the song to get the rhythm. I use the top of my
nails, and rake them across the strings. Where I place a 'u' above the
tab I rake just my thumb nail up the strings (high to low). Where I
place a 'd' I rake my middle and ring finger nails down the strings
(low to high). I generally hit the strings really hard here; so the
open low strings should resound through the entire passage even where I
don't explicitly mark them. I'm not sure if this is the right way to
do it; but I'm self-taught and this works for me.

At this point I pretend I'm holding a pick between my thumb and index
finger, and use the top of the nail to strum the strings. 'u' and 'd'
just represent strumming directions now.
