[Scuzzo]

back at it... lol... this time im gong after me and the devil ... it sounds pretty straight forward but its deceptive, ? A D7 E D7 but seems like the trick to it is partial chords and that cool descending run D7 shape to A,, that progression has such age to it.. amazing... and the turn around but i have no idea what chord that is he ends with but it resolves with an E7.. well great fun.. but tricky

Well, the last chord is A7.
Before the E7 it's just his usual descending run: G-F#-F-E down the 4th string with the A on top, as well as the A on 3rd string. He just drags it out a bit longer for the ending.

Lol, yea I got to looking at it, but there are some many variations on it.. I even came up with a cool one where the d chord is right next to the E7 in fifth position.. that d form one.. now I got the bones of it,, I'm moving on to hell hounds.. I would take a run if I had possession but no slide yet.. lol

I like his A7 right up in 7th position, and the little chromatic shift... I mean, among a ton of other things, obviously .

Here's how I do it. Definitely not "traditional"

I change where I play that step down depending on, whatever.
