It's all straightforward pedals A+B at work, Charles. First solo chord is strings 4 and 5 with pedal A at the open root position for whatever key it's in, then strings 1 and 2, then 3 and 4. Can you sort it out from there?

Charles, this was a good project to pass the time during the big nor'easter and chilling cold this past weekend. I have no idea if this is the way it's actually played on the video, but slowed it down and spent a lot of time listening to nuances. I'm pretty sure the notes are right, although there are probably a lot of different ways of playing them.
