A couple of things to keep in mind:
-Emily Frantz regularly adds hammer-ons and pull-offs during those F and C shapes; for Fmaj7/E the pull-off's
from 2 to 0 on the 3rd string, for C/G she hammers on from 0 to 2 on the 4th string:
e|--0----0----|
B|--1----1----|
G|--2p0--0----|
D|--3----0h2--|
A|--3----3----|
E|-------3----|
-When going from G5 to G, there's a hammer on from 0 to 2 on the 5th string, when going from C/G to G6add4/B
she adds the B on the 5th string while keeping the C on the 2nd string.
e|--3----0----|
B|--3----1----|
G|--0----0----|
D|--0----0----|
A|--0h2--0h2--|
E|--3---------|
-As you can see in the videos I referenced, Emily Frantz isn't as strict with some of these shapes and
hammer-ons/pull-offs. In the end it's up to you whether you want to play them or not and how often.
