hmr = Hammer on
//  = Slide up
 
 
* When G6 is played the high D is occasionally left out (3rd fret, B string)
 
If you watched the video it's easy to see that she hammers on the second
finger occasionally. For F and C/G she hammers on the 2nd fret of the G
string. The timing is hard to explain so just practice it.
 
On this version specifically, she bars the 5th fret but more commonly bars the 4th one.
