Default What are these chords/fingerings?

Working my way through The Claw by Jerry reed and hung up on a small section towards the end. Can someone help me with the chords/fingerings that runs from 1:35 to 1:45? Thanks very much!

Derek,

Thank you for responding - I do appreciate it. I see 5 different chords?/fingerings in that 10 second stretch - yes? Also, can you tell what his right hand is doing - sounds like a syncopated pattern but even when I slow it down to half speed I can't seem to pick up exactly what he's doing?

Also, on that little A string bass walk up that he kind of slides into after the down the neck picking, is he just alternating between the A string and an open B string as he walks up?

Oh, and on that little picking run down the neck, I know what notes and strings he is playing, but he seems to be dampening or muting the beginning of each triplet or whatever you call it - how is he doing that?

Thanks for your help.

You are making it way too complicated. There is usually a repeated pattern in music passages like this. Things are usually simpler than they originally seem. Remember the guitarist you are trying copy is human too.

For example the picking pattern of the first chord shape I showed you earlier is (and I will leave it to you to figure out the second chord shape picking pattern):




also the bass walk up is like you mentioned:
