make sure to play the Am open, it sounds much better. the second time you do it, you only strum it once

the C-G are single notes, make sure you do them pretty fast, its a smooth transition
you can still barre the G chord if you want, i just think its easier doing it that way
thats basically it.
every now and then he does

e-3---------| after the last C in the verse, but only a few times
play the verse during the solo, and the same thing when the tempo changes for the last verse
Finally, the solo. it's basically perfect, with maybe the exceptions of the hammer ons and pull offs
