It sounds like he’s using the thumb as though it were traditional fingerstyle for the bass notes, plus hammering on to raise the bass note. On top of that, he’s using the remainder of the hand like a claw to strum upwards to hit the rest of the chord, where the back of his nails first hit the strings, before bringing them down.
Something like that!
If you’re trying to replicate it, the easiest way is going to be to first isolate the bass notes (use that to figure out the chord), but only use your thumb and see if you can play along. Slowing down the videos helps!
After you have that down, then layer in the remainder of the chords.
Good luck!
Thanks I'll play with that.
It sounds a bit like Resurrection Fern by Iron and Wine too, so that may help me
