As you can see, he plays the bass note for the chord before strumming the rest of the
strings. Also he uses lots of hammer ons for the Am and C chords throughout the rest of
the song. For example, when you see a C or Am chord you can play them like this:
|-----------0-0-| |-----------0-0-|
|-----------1-1-| |-----1-----1-1-|
|-----0~----0-0-| |-----0^2~--2-2-|
|-----0^2~------| |-----0^2~------|
