Capo VI - The song is in Db/C# so use the same harmonica if you play that too.
There's multiple guitatrs, banjo, probably a mandolin and other sounds going on.
It's hard to make out, but I think this is the best thing overall you're going to get if you
are only playing this solo.
There's hammer ons and pull offs you can clearly hear - such as open E to 3 making the G. And open (high) e
to 2 on the D.
The intro is tricky and has a timing that you have to pay attention to. You have to let the licks play out
while you can on certain chords (most noticeably is the Em in my opinion).
I strongly believe there's a D chord in which it's the 5A & 4D (being slide up from the C). I will
mark that D*
A lick (I think I hear) in the intro is as follows:
All on the G string - 5.....7....5...4..0
[Intro]
G D Em7 (lick above goes into G) then D Em7 (sounds like hammer ons on 2nd D string to complete a full Em chord) G D Em7 G D Em7 (2nd D hammer ons), - lighter strumming here too, a possible 3rd on the A string then starts main progression and lyrics.
