A shame the visual doesn't sync the audio.

Just back from vacation, need to take a second look. Doesn't look too difficult...

OK, between 0:07 and 0:12 he plays something like F#m7 - D7 - F# - G - C.
The following fingerpicking part is harder to find out...

well thanks for replying. But I am more interested in what he plays between 00:12 and 00:29.
Could you figure it?

Yes, but I'm short of free time currently. But it's possible.

I'm gonna try tab this today if possible, or at least start, heard it ages ago and then forgot to try it!

OK, he's picking around with the chords:
G/G7 - C (the picking pattern from Hey, Hey, but another key)
G/G7 - C
F/F6 - short simple lick - D7 -G7 - C - F - C

do you manage to play it?
it sounds right but i can't play it as just as he does.
the pattern is i think a slide between the 3rd and 5th frets on the first and second strings.

I can't play it like EC
- and I know I never will, even if I sit side by side watching him.
But that's not necessary - play it your way!
