My own original version of the song played with either two guitars, a loop pedal, or as a band. If you're using a loop pedal, slapping the strings on an electric with your hand makes for a good beat. Right in between both pickups. No strumming pattern. Go ahead and free form it :P
[Intro] These notes are played quickly with a slight rest in between each. Listen to the song for reference. Palm mute if you like.
