Rhythm: Marc uses reggae style strumming, which means lots there is a lot muting and
playing is done on upstrokes. He plays in patterns of four strokes, and on the
third beat (upstroke) he plays the actual chord, and the rest is muted. Using
barre chords makes this a heck of a lot easier.
Lead: Richard plays in basically the same way as the rhythm above. Use mostly
upstrokes focus on the highest three strings. For solos, if you want to
improvise, just use E Ionian (major) scale.

Chorus x8
Solo - very easy and repetitive, I’m not going to tab it out (if you really
want it, ask me and I’ll put it down)
