If anyone watched Storytellers on VH1 I'm pretty sure this is what Stone was doing

yeah this is definatly the right way to play it. you can tell stone plays it like this in both the Storytellers video and as well as the Bonaroo 2008 video. Open 6th string, playing behind the capo. love it.

good tab sounds just like it. and to the guy who said you cant play behind the capo, you must be new to tab or something because when a capo is put on whatever fret the capo is on becomes 0 so in this case the first chord - 3 2 0 - - is really played - 7 6 4 - -
