imitate snare sound
How does he get the snare drum sound at about 1:51 when he starts imitating drums?
I think he hits the high silver strings with his nails, but my guitar just rings out when I do that. Hitting the wood is making a different noise for me.
Then I think maybe he mutes the strings left hand, but he actually plays the high E string simultaneously to the snare one time and the B string other times and I think it’s hard to control that kind of muting.
So I wonder what he’s actually doing to get his guitar to make that noise, I’m really struggling to replicate on mine.

The thumb slaps the bass E string into the fret board.
When the high steel E string is played simultaneously, it looks like he strikes it with the nail of the picking hand. That made the right noise for me.
If the B string is being played simultaneously, just pluck it with a finger and hit the thumb for the snare at the same time. I found coordinating this very difficult, especially to get consistent volume, but it's possible.
