The song's chords alternate between picking all six strings on the
first three beats to only the top four on the last three beats of
each bar. This is why some chords alternate between open A and
D and a closed A and D. See below for clarification.
'Itsari' is a tribal song, and is accompanied by a chant. Try
thinking this way when playing the strummed parts of it.
The most challenging part of the song - and the real reason to
attempt it - is the solo. If the chording doesn't interest you,
jump to that. Note that where a 't' is written above a note, it
should be played as an eighth note triplet (three notes over one
beat).
