Actually one correction: Looking at the video it looks like his hand position is simpler. Seems to be DADFAD. That makes it much less of a stretch to play. https://youtu.be/3tTnzpNTzpQ?t=182 "Uuu-part" and verses: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + d---------------0---------------0---------------0---------------0-| a-------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---| F-----6-----6---------6-----6---------4-----4---------4-----4-----|F d---7-----7---------7-----7---------5-----5---------5-----5-------| a-5---------------5---------------3---------------3---------------| d-----------------------------------------------------------------| and the first half of the song gets the notes you have at frets 4 and 5 moved up to frets 9 and 10 on the next lower strings.

Nice job! I found it interesting to compare the finger picking of the bridge to a standard tuning version which doesn't get the interest you get from unisons on different strings. e|-------------------| B|-----0-----0---3---| G|---2---2-2---2-----| D|-0-----------------| A|-------------------| E|-------------------|
