It makes zero sense to tab out a precise version since Scott never plays it the same way twice.
Instead we will learn his basic improvisational “moves”, and then apply those to this song.
Basic Rhythm
This is Scott’s preferred rhythm. Start by playing it with single strings.

Now add in a strum on the second beat. You don’t have to hit all the strings, just “chunk” it.

Once you’re able to play this, try playing around (adding in a strum, leaving more space, etc.)
Basic Fills
Scott loves to randomly play fills between chords. Let’s start with some basic single-string exercises.
Play the notes of G major in the first 2 frets
Now try with hammer-ons and pull-offs.

A simple ascending and descending pattern...
Try picking through those shapes...

Stop. Take a breath. Put on a metronome or simple drum beat and play around for a few minutes.
