This double stop riff is plucked with the finger and thumb. Sometimes they change it up,
the bass take over, but it centres around this piece.

This above riff progresses from the finger plucking, and moves onto a strum. Play around
the main riff and it should sound great; little hammer ons and embellishments really
it come alive. You don't have to use the ones I did but they sound fitting.
