She plays D5/A three different ways in this song:
1)Straight; as noted above
2) Hammer-on the A note on the G string like this:
D5/A
|D--0----|
|B--3----|
|G--0h2--|
|D--0----|
|A--0----|
|D--x----|
3) Hammering on like above but then dropping the D note on the B string to a C and then returning to the
full chord:
This does not account for rhythm. It's pretty simple to hear though.
