Hard to transcript here because the tuning is down about around 0.40 semitone. Plus I think she play with a different tuning than "standard", I say maybe around one step down. But you can play this with normal tuning, sound good too. On live's video, the E5 is played Em in alternance with D5 (xx023x)
