EDIT: I found that this variation of the

      pick with thumb and finger.

Sometimes in the verse and chorus the 7 and 14 continue throughout the whole 16,
and the 6 and 13 are not played so listen for the change.

I don't know why, but the full tab is not showing. It's been cut off from the verse E string down. Can someone fix this? Managed to fix it by cramming in the verse note.
