You should play with the fingering until you find a combination which moves the fewest fingers at one time. Anderson likes to keep one finger planted and change the chords around it. In this case, I think he does the following. He plants the 3rd finger of the left hand as he changes from Dm to A7sus4. Am to C, he plants the 1st finger. C to Cadd9 he lifts the 3rd and places 2nd on the 6th string, keeping the 1st and 4th fingers planted.
