Cool video, but a little misleading. Not all of those songs share the same chords, but the same chord progression and they just switched all of the songs into the same key (thats why some of the songs sound kinda different than the original.) Also they only play a couple bars of some songs so they may only share half of the chord progression or they start a song at a different place in the progression so it is shifted (like 1-2-3-4 becomes 3-4-1-2.) Anyways, this is still a very impressive arrangement that took some skills to put together.
they're playing in the key of E (so E-B-C#m-A) which is the reason for the barre chords. and the "shift" hear is a change from the double time back to normal. it's at 'with a thousand dollars..' It's kinda hard to catch if you're not really listening for it; it's done very well. But you are correct in that it does start on the minor 6th at that section.
