Here's my suggestion for you to really understand how the tuning makes the sound possible: Drop that upper course on your instrument, and then click on the gear of your YouTube window and play that clip at half speed. (If you're on a mobile device, you'll have to switch to desktop mode; you can find directions for that by searching on "youtube desktop mode mobile" in your search engine.) It should then be relatively easy to learn the backup for the second, uncapoed tune from that video by watching the fingers and listening.
