Bobby's Part Over the Verse

[Green Rhythm]

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts from this site for a while, and have learned a bunch. I'm hoping someone can help me out.
In a couple of DVD's and clips from youtube such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm3l2B30 ... ed&search= and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSDAt8sXic occasionally, during the beginning of the verses (over the singing), Bobby is playing higher up on the neck than the second position on what appears to be the lower strings. I have not seen anyone tab it out this way. Does anyone play it this way or know what he is playing?

Thanks,
Green Rhythm

Bobby is playing an F#m off the 4th fret primarly.

On the album and in most cases I can clearly hear him what he does is start on the 1 with a very full F#m off the 4th and let's it ring out until like the 5th beat and then grabs a F#sus4 (but really only playing the high E and B strings and G).

uh, I'm gonna go ahead and dig up a two year old topic, just because I think I know what this guy's talking about and messed around with it in quite the simple manner, pretty sure it's only this:

Bobby's verse part:
|---2--2---x--2--2--2---4--4--5--5/7---|
|---2--2---x--2--2--2---2--2--2--------|
|---2--2---x--2--2--2---2--2--2--2/4---|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|

heh. I was wondering about that myself.

Yesterday I came across a new way (for me) to play the Estimated rhythm guitar part and nail the timing every time (for purposes of singing the song and keeping time).
I am now counting it as 1,2,3 - 1,2 - 1,2.
The first 1,2,3 = Strum F#m and let it ring, stop it with a chuck on the 3rd beat.
The next 1,2 = Fm, chuck (the "chuck" is a muted strum/time keeping thing)
The last two (of seven) beats = Bm6, chuck.

That Bm6 is also almost an E7.
You could also just slide The F#m up to the Bm position.
I've come up with several variations on the Bm6 (basically just moving the pinky around) to alternate the "feel" of it.
Funn Stuff!
I have finally become fluent at singing this song!
I vary the Bob/Jerry parts throughout.
I am playing/singing it with a Trio, so the Bass player is actually playing the main Jerry lick during the verse.
