Strum more dynamically during the chorus. Emphasize the transitions

- Focus on dynamics—play softly during the verses and build intensity in the
choruses to emphasize the song's emotion.
- Keep a steady rhythm with the suggested bpm (95 bpm) using a metronome,
especially in the chorus to maintain timing.
