    Default Can someone break down what Thile is doing here?

    This is my new favorite song :P

    I want to learn some of the walk-downs that chris is doing while he's backing moose up. For example, what's he doing at 0:23 ?

    Any sort of insight about any portion of the tune would be appreciated!

    Try this for that walkdown at 0.23:
    455x
    354x
    253x
    243x
    055x --> 0023

    Walk down at 1:58 over the G chord:
    12th harmonic on the D string, and then on the G string: 10 9 7
    Then he adds a line on the A string over the C chord:
    5x7x
    4x7x
    2x7x
    3x6x
    Back to G chord with 455x

    For something like 5x7x, you can use the pad of your index finger to mute the D string as you play the walkdown.

    I only have tiny speakers to listen on at the moment, so there might be more in there, but that's a place to start.
