David,
I love Marks song....
should I be slapping and pulling those chords or just using...'hahs"..on the draw/blows?
In otherwords should the chords be articulated?
Thanks!

Gotcha. I just listened. The chords he's playing are not articulated with a pull... they are either not articulated (just blow or draw) or uses a TA when you want more of a snap to the chord.
