Here are the main licks he is using, but he loves to play around, remove a finger here and there. Follow
your guts on that.
Let ring all the notes he plays by themselves.

Sometimes he palm-mutes the first chord of the chorus if he plays the 0 on the E string right before
starting over the chorus riff.
The layers of electric guitar are just the chords done in the chorus with a volume pedal, an auto-pan and
delay.
For the effects part, he only uses some reverb.
Have fun, glad to see more acoustic guitar in his songs.
