To get it so sound more like Johan DeFarfalla?s playing, fingerpick at the back of the bass. It would
also help to have new strings.
A repetition note beside the time (e.g. "play twice") means for everything in that section; one after a bar (e.g. "4x")
means just for the previous bar.
NOTE: *** marks where to end on the last time.
(0:18) After ***
