For the intro strumming pattern the first two strums are really on the & of beat 3 and the & of beat 4 in
a pickup bar. It's not really possible to show this in the strumming pattern interface, but the pattern
will sound correct, just be aware that beat 3 is where the first beat of the first complete bar really is.
The two accented strums in each two bar section are E and A, all other 'strums' are really picked single
notes of an Aadd9 chord (x07600).
