Ah, 'Bloom' by The Paper Kites – great choice! And starting right off with fingerpicking and no pick, that's an immediate signal this is going to be intricate. I like the playful intro about porcupines, too; keeps it light.
Okay, so the capo on the sixth fret. That's a pretty standard but effective way to get that bright, open sound. Good to know a half capo will work, too, for those who might have one of those.
He's really emphasizing the 'no pick' rule here. It makes sense for a song like this, where the individual string clarity is probably key to the melody. It's a good challenge for learners.
