G (A): I'm not completly sure about how he fingers this one, I just use the bass notes
let the highs ring open. I think the High E kind of throws it off though so I don't play it.

F (G): Letting the high E string ring open is what makes the cord sound so good. Don't
play it as an F bar chord. If you can figure out how to hit the 1st fret on the B and
E strings, and let the High E ring open, then do it, but from what I can hear in the
he doesn't do it, so neither do I.
