This song is tuned a quarter step down (ish) and capo on 5. So if you plan on playing along with the YouTube
video, I recommend tuning your top E string with Scott as he plays the intro. Either tune with the capo on
and finger the 3rd fret (relative to capo), or take the capo off and finger the 8th fret to match the actual
key (C) (again, ish).
Between sections, he does this groovy little hammer-on/pull-off while picking around with the G chord.
Hammering the 1st fret of the B string and the 2nd fret of the D string.

Using the ring finger on the root note (low E string) and the pinky on the same fret of the high E string.
Hammering on and pulling off with your index and middle finger.
He switches it up almost every time but it all follows the above example to some degree. 
Enjoy, folks.
