Clearly less coffee for me! Good question: I use three finger /thumb style and CS uses two finge/thumb style. The underlying pattern is 4/4 time as follows: Pattern: 6/2 together, 4-1, 6-2, 4 so 6th and 2nd string played together as one beat followed by 4 to1 then 6 to 2 with each string getting a 1/2 beat, end with 4th string which gets one whole beat. Enjoy!!

Thanks for breaking this down. I do think that if you would play it about 20 bpm slower, it would sound a bit cleaner. Thanks again!
