1. ARRANGEMENT NOTES
********************************************************************************
 
This arrangement is for performance by a single guitar:
The studio recording guitar intro is 2 guitars (rhythm & lead), but the desired sound is to combine the two.
In live concerts, Kiwanuka will improvise/ fingerpick with this combined pattern on a single acoustic.
 
There were major shortcomings with other online chordsheets that I wanted to address:
- The base picking pattern were either too simplified, missing, or just wrong
- Other tabulations of the intro didn't provide a Travis-picking time reference
- The lyrics of most other chord sheets are just simply wrong
 
 
********************************************************************************
2. THREE-FINGER ROLL PATTERN (for everything besides the GUITAR INTRO)
********************************************************************************
 
Random observation:
Kiwanuka doesn't use a standard three-finger banjo PIM roll pattern, but rather,
he uses a four-finger flamenco PIMA roll pattern.
 
I wouldn't lose sleep over this. PIM is the exact same string/rhythm pattern,
and IMHO, easier to keep consistent rhythm with the alternating thumb pattern.
 
P = Thumb
I = Index
M = Middle

Note:
Kiwanuka performs another version with a kickass hammer-on roll from C to Am, but I'm too lazy to tab now.
