Been learning to play Zac Brown Bands, Whatever it is. I've got the progression down. Standard tuning with capo on the 1st fret. The progression I'm learning goes C-G/B-Am-G-F-G-C-Am-G/B and the chorus F-G-C-G/B-Am-G, according to Chordie.com, which sounds dead on... My question is about the harmonics he plays at the end of the chorus. I've played around with them trying to find the correct run but I've yet to pin point it. It wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't make and break the song. Watching some of his live performances, he plays with a capo and the run is somewhere on the 6th or 8th fret I'd imagine if he's capo on 1. Make any sense? Any guesses? Here's the song... Sounds like a three note run but I'm still to green to find it. :mrgreen:

They are on the 7th fret I believe, just the last 3 strings, but the rhythm is the key in those harmonics
It's a great tune. I'm working my way through Toes right now, and can play the rhythm pretty well, so I may post something soon.

Just as an FYI and plugging my own stuff, I did an instructional video on how to play the intro to Chicken Fried
