The first two notes of every chord sequence will be double-thumbed (thump down and upstroke using just your
thumb. You should watch Tim Henson's YouTube video about it; he explains it very well.

I recommend starting at 60 BPM since all of these chords will be thumped and fingerpicked as five tuplets (5
notes in one beat. Tim Henson plays it at full speed at 120 BPM.
