Of course, free guitar lessons probably won’t get you all the way to where you want to be. For that you’re going to have to pay for something a little more professional.
Here are our top choices:

Yes this one is standard tuning - though the percussive techniques could be used in any tuning you fancy.

I wouldn’t say “hard” perhaps firmly would be a better description. Think of it like bouncing on a trampoline your hand comes down lands on the strings they move down until they hit the last fret just by your sound hole. Just after this has happened if your hand is relaxed it should bounce back up - like on a tampoline.
This technique will not be so pronounced on some guitars depending on all kinds of things, but should be able to get something useable.
change.

that was sick

maybe rub your hand against the strings when your taking it off?
