Wherever it says Asus2 A, simply pick or strum the Asus2 chord and do a hammer on
to the A chord, like so:
e|--0--|                   e|--0--|
B|--0--|                   B|--2--|
G|--2--|    -    TO  -     G|--2--|
D|--2--|                   D|--2--|
A|--0--|                   A|--0--|
E|--0--|                   E|--0--|
Don't play the chords separately, it should all take place in one motion, just hammer on.
You could always disregard this and just play an A. It's just a little stylistic
accent that JT adds sometimes.
