From what I heard that not it, I'm not really sure, but listen to that vid I posted its the last part they play

[ronster]

jdarks has it correct
A Cmaj7 lick then repeat

|--0----0----|-------------------| |----------------|
|--2----0----|--13/14---12---10--|OR|----------------|
|--2----0----|-------------------| |----------------|
|--2----2----|--13/14---12---11--| |----------------|
|--0----3----|-------------------| |-------2/4-2-0--|
|--A---Cmaj7-|----------------A--| |-0-2-0-------A--|

Thanks! I didn't have a guitar where I was yesterday to test it out so I guessed thanks alot!

Maybe some of the very early Franklin's ended with the A, Cmaj7 "end of Slipknot" figure, but generally they just wound down the A,D Franklin's progression to a final A (which fwiw is my preference) ... are the Remaining Members, aka TD, using the Slipknot thingy?

[Counterstriker]

Yeah when i saw them at the spectrum i really liked the ending of it .

[Pete B.]

I assume we're talking about the chord Bobby plays?... (while Jer does his ending riff).
The open position CMaj7 doesn't sound right (to me).
I tried 5 CMaj7 inversions and none of them sound right (to my ear).
I might be playing it wrong.
Can someone post a clear shot of Bobby playing the chord in question?

I've never known what that chord is, and typically do a single note Jerry style ending lick there.
When I do play a chord there I play a kinda D/G following the A.

E|--x--
B|--3--
G|--2--
D|-----
A|--x--
E|--3--

fwiw, When I saw the BK3 a few months back, I noted that that is what Scott Murawski played (at least that is what I think I saw, I have not confirmed this with Scott).

[Tennessee Jedi]

The riff is in one of your vids , I'm sure of it !
I just couldn't find it ....
One of the Help/Slip ones somewhere ...its like tagged on at the end somewhere ...

Dude will figure it out.

I play

A to a C/G

I just play a straight C Major over a G in the bass.

[tigerstrat]

G5 is what I use (in my Jerry part). Hey where did the tab creator go? Can only access by the home page now? Anyhoo, it looks like this, with the G bass note ringing out on the beat, and the high G,D,G notes ringing out on the following "and":


E|--3--
B|--3--
G|--0--
D|--X--
A|--X--
E|3~3--

Can't ya a pic or vid. This pc is too slow for that.

I can play a Cmaj7 anywhere and get it. Preference is the 3rd fret. It was a few years back that I stumbled on this and it just flat out never sounds right until you play it with your band.

I argued with a guy some time about this who was very thick headed despite asking me for help so I said instead just play a G6. Now he swears that is the chord oh well it's close enough when played off the 12th fret.

BTW, for an average Dead bar band I think that ending pulls off nicer than the rallentando of A to D unless you have the room packed with heads.

I belive this to be true about alot of stuff that come down the pike.

Gotta love that one!
Almost the same exact fingering as Cmaj7.

Still lookin' for Bobby fingers on this one.
I know the camera is on Jer in one of the VFTV vids. He played it all single notes in open position that day (can't remember which vid right now), but he just played a G on the 6th string, third fret.
