(h) = 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.

Hold my stand to keep me steady
