Dickie Overbey descending run on Wine Me Up by Amber Digby

Near the end of Amber Digby's second vocal verse on Wine Me Up, Dickie Overbey womps a wicked, rapid descending run on strings 4 & 5 from the 20th to the 10th Fret. I'm a newbie to PS and struggled to tab it out as follows:

4] 20BC 18BC 16BCE 15BCE 14BCE 12BC 11BC 10BC 10
5] 20BC 18BC 16BCE 15BCE 14BCE 12BC 11BC 10BC 10

I omitted the the single note 6th string in-between licks, just trying to figure out if my tab is right and what the heck the names of the chords are, major, minor, augmented, diminished?. Appreciate input from any player who might be able to SPLAIN!

Thanks!

Just to be clear, you mean right at 0:27......after the 2nd line she sings, not the 2nd verse?

Second line "Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year" (Dickie's run starts a shade before "of the year."

Thanks

Dickey could've thrown his steel down a flight of stairs & it woulda sounded fantastic!
He is my favorite player.
A couple D-10s,some vintage guitars & amps, & lotsa junk in the gig bag.

Yes, maybe even sound good with no pedals or knee levers!

Hey Dean, looks like I was in the wrong neck of the woods altogether. Wow man you sure took me to school with your revised tab! Mucho appreciation. I'm down the hill is Camarillo so please let me know where you're pumpin pedals and scootin KNLs when C-19 permits. (Cowboy Palace?

Aloha Dean ~ Not to worry I understand it's a skosh hard to remember to contact every yayhoo that wants to know where your next gig is, whenever and wherever that comes up! Take care and maybe see you in the circle sometime down the line.

I used to go see Dicky when he'd do the ET Midnight Jamboree in Nashville with Amber. You couldn't turn around without seeing another steel player. I miss hearing new material coming out with Dicky playing on it. He was a favorite from the first time I heard him. Watching him play was a real treat. You could tell when he was really into it, and how he paid attention to everything going on around him. A true team player.
