Attempt to capture chords from his unreleased original YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Vd9GcRrnA
Tune everything a half-step down to play along with the video.
He frequently hammers on to the 2nd fret of the A string on the G, Cadd9, and C chords and the 2nd fret
of the G string for on the D chords. For the G and C chords he also frequently seems to focus the start of
his upstrum on the B string instead of the high E string.
It is hard to see what he is playing from the angle of his original live video linked above, but I had
listed all of the D chords as Dsus4. One of the comments mentioned that D sounded right instead, so I
listened closely again and it actually seems that he is playing a standard D in one spot and Dsus2 for the
others. In truth, any version of the D chord you like should sound fine.
