    I Don’t Know Any To Be Honest, I Just Improvised, But You Can Create Open Chords By Barring The Strings With a Slide/Finger.

    Best if You Fingerpick – Just Make it Up! :)

    Sure :) I Also Made a Ukulele From an Olive Oil Can & a Banjo From a Sweetie Tin; You Get a Different Sound To a Body Of Wood, But It’s No Less Effective.

    from the first arpegio he does of the open strings (1:00 ) it seems to be root – fifth – octave like a powerchord
