Playing notes;
1. Standard hand position with thumb covering the 3 bottom strings, repetitive bass pattern.
2. Look for the triplet rolls, some of which have the a bottom note played with the thumb.
3. Lots of grace/fade tones are included which can be dropped out at leisure if you keep the melody and bass going.
4. Listen to the recording to get the finger-patterning clear.
