    I'm not good at reading music, just play chords by "ear".

    Is it G (without the "third"); B flat (also without the "third"); and then C (same as the other 2). I'm trying to remember how I personally play it on the guitar. I think I might play it in different chords or notes than the ones cited in this video. Anyway, he sounds great!!!
