*sustain

I fingerpick this.  Let me know if it works well with a pick.

Suggestions: (fingering numbers on left hand- pointer finger is 1, middle finger is 2, ring finger is 3,
pinkie is 4)
3rd finger is on G string 4th fret, 2nd finger is on B string 3rd fret
1st finger plays the bass notes, hold the notes down as notated (sustain)
On the very last phrase, lay the 2nd finger down like you do in the Bm barre chord to play that F# on the
high e string.
Very easy, and gets you right into the song.

Another suggestion- use the website oolimo chord analyzer (google it) to see or to find what notes you
are playing.  I played this intro on the piano and then used oolimo to find those notes on the guitar.
