I’m having trouble with the “chorus” the “No woman no cry” part. Do you play the low and the high strings for that part? Going C-B/A-Am-F? Please help

Hey Desi, I love this ” no woman no cry vid” It’s amazing.
I’m actually working on it and have most of it down except for the lead you play at the very beginning of the song and the bit after you solo at 1:43 seconds of this vid. I know you have a 42 min. vid teaching this song but i don’t think you cover those two sections. Just hoping i could get some help with this. I LOVE YOUR BOOK AND VIDEO’S and have recommended them to other’s. Thanks Desi!!!
