Put your index finfer down on the 1 barre chord.... Look at the dave style lessons for that G.... other than that its standard chords...
i play it with all barre chords sound pretty much sounds the same just easier to play... the Am barre is 577555

if your talking about the slower part where its just dave playing, its just a matter of quickly strumming up and down on the F and quickly going to an open G(320033) with the same quick up and down strumming. watching dave play on a live recording would totally give you a better example. hope mine helps though.
peace.
