This arrangement is yet another one with a capo on the 1st fret. I chose this setup to maintain the original tonality. The intro begins with Gm, Dm, A7 chords, resolving in D major, followed by a relatively simple harmony consisting of only two chords, D and A7. Each part can be treated as a separate fingerstyle exercise. In the intro, you can focus on timing and precision by incorporating stops and breaks while playing the chords. The following section provides an exercise for double stops, and the subsequent part involves fast arpeggios with sixteenth notes.
