*END*
For the bridge walking notes, just hit the 2 strings listed, one strum per beat in song
(though I like using two strums for more flair), except for final D/A of each pass which
gets some quick up/down stums during beats 3 and 4. For an even easier tip, leave your pinky
and ring fingers fretting the initial G and just cycle through the brackets parts of the
chords until you get to the final D (D/A). As long as you hit the bass note (first one
listed), it sounds good enough. Trust me, it will be your favorite part of the song to play.
