"Now is the chords and the verse. Which is pretty simple. What we're going to do is, we're going to use our pointer finger over here, to hold down everything on the 5th fret. I guess the bottom four strings of the guitar. So, just hold all those down and then throw your pinky down there on the 8th fret, just on that last string. So we want, that's the cord we're going to do. 1, 2, 3, 4, O.K.? So that's the first chord and I like to pluck it all at once using all of the first four fingers, the thumb and these three. So, we're just going to place those 3 where they need to go and the thumb and just pull out. That's how we're going to do the chords. Next chord, over here on the left hand, is basically with your middle finger. Open. First fret and then this last string with the pinky. Did you find the chord? Now, we're going to pluck it like we do, all at once. So lets here those first two chords. That's what we're looking for. Last chord, is up here. I like to use my pinky to hold down the rest of them. Just, on that 5th fret. We're hitting the rest of them all except for the last string. We don't want to hit that last string cause that's too high. And we're going to pluck it they way we did the other ones. So, lets here those three chords. And then this part is pretty easy. We're going to use these two fingers and just place them right here on the 5th fret. Skip a string. So, it's like a harmony basically. I'm using these two fingers over here. Just to hit that. Then we're just going to move the formation up and then back down. That's all it is. So, on the 5th fret, 7, 6, 5. So, lets here the whole thing. That's what we're going for."
