Capo 4
For the strumming use a simple base-strum down-up style. Listen to the song for what sounds
best.
To get it to sound more like the song, I do a hammer-on for the next note after the base note.
So for G chord I hammer on 2nd fret on A string with 1st finger. For Dsus4/F# hammer on 2nd
fret on G string with 2nd finger, etc. So you hammer on right after plucking the base 
and before the strum. Don't do this for D and B7, just strum normally.
