So I am trying to learn to play this song because it is a really cool song. It is called Men Trinkte Mashke by some band called Balkan Death Grip. Here is a link to the video:

I am trying to figure out what chords the guitar player is playing. So far I've gathered he is playing a Dm, Dm/A (I think that is what it is called), A maj7, D maj7, and a G maj as well. I think it based around that klezmer/jazz phrygian harmonic minor sounding scale, but there are a few chords he plays that I can't seem to figure out. It looks to me like he is playing a jazz chord where his index is on the 5th fret of the 6th string, middle on the 4th fret of the 5th, ring on the 5th fret of the 4th and then pinky on the 6th fret of the 3rd. There are also a few chords towards the upper neck that he is playing that I can't really see.

Any help?

I'll try and see what I can do. You should try posting on guitargeek or thegearpage, they've got sections for miscellany like this.

Also, the jazz chord you mentioed seems kind of impossible to play using that fingering (I can't bring my middle finger over to the fourth fret when the index finger is on the 5th!) With a different fingering, it doesn't sound like anything used in the song. You try using this chord: middle finger on the sixth fret of the low E string, pinky on the seventh of the A string, index on the fifth of the D, ring finger on the sixth of the G. It's a diminished chord and I'm hearing them all throughout the song.

I'll take a picture and show you what I mean. I suck at writing tabs. Haha. If you watch him play it seems like it is a klezmer song to me because I'd the sound of the progression. Maybe Gypsy jazz in the vein of Django Reinhart. I love the story the song tells and it has a cool minor jazzy vibe.
