The song follows a similar plucking pattern the whole way through the song. There are
various accent notes that you can add in as you play - I'll let you make those up as
you go. Once you figure out the two main arpeggio patterns, you've got the song.
Listen to the song for whether you play the 1st or 2nd string at the end of the
arpeggios. It doesn't matter too much which you play, but you can alter the dynamic of
the song depending on how you alternate. I wrote it so that it alternates back and
forth but that's not entirely correct, simply easier to write.
You'll have to get a feel for it.
 
The only fingering that changes is the bass note on the 5th and 6th strings.
Other than that, keep the 4th string fretted on 5.
 
Tune the 1st string down to D.
Tune the 2nd string down to A.

try tuning the B string down to an A - fits the recording much better!

Are the numbers in the picking pattern before or after capoing? (For instance, when it says 5, is that really the 5th fret, or actually the 6th fret, but 5 down from the capo?)
