I watched a few of the band's acoustic sets and found that this is the method he tends to play
when it's just guitar and cello.
Can sound good with a light palm mute and harsh strumming for a more abrupt cello effect that the song has.
Although, picking around on the chords in time has a nice jangle to it as well.
The strumming is downstrokes throughout the song at a consistant pace. It's important to add some more
intensity in the chord that you end each line of the song on which will be either G or Em
Stroke the first two chords 3 times each, then stroke the last chord 10 times. Emphasis will be
on the 1 stroke:
While playing G or Em
1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-1-2
Let me know if you need me to clarify a bit more, though I think that's about as straightforward as it gets.
