Joe Walsh - Life's between Good: that little triads section ?

AK99

I've never been able to get this section of the song to sound right. Have pored over various Youtube videos and lessons on the song in the past, but they never sound exactly right, The guy playing in the Peach / Joe Walsh inspired  demo below is the closest I've heard yet.

A decent guitarist would probably laugh at such a request, but I'm far from being in that bracket..so go easy on me ..please

Can anybody tell me what chords - or even better still, notes - the chap plays in the 10 second clip from 5:29 to 5:39 in this video please ?

It's just F C F x 2 followed by Am G Am x 2

Voicings could be:
x-x10-10-10-x   x-x10-9-8-x   x-x7-5-6-x
then
x-x10-9-10-x   x-x9-7-8-x   x-x7-5-5-x

Thanks DK. The chords there work alright, but the voicing (as I now know the term is) is different than what is the guy is using, and the sound is subtly different.

Would you have any idea what the equivalent chords / notes would be down at the position(s) the guy in the video uses ?

viz

he’s doing: 

xxx565
xxx553
xx3211

and 

xx7555
xx5433
xx2210

Forgive me for being a pain in the @ss on this one Viz - but is that second triad right - the xxx553 ?

It sounds off compared to the others, and when you look closely at your man's fingers at the 5:30 mark, I cant really see how he would be able to play those notes from that position  ?

Having had a look at the notes - is it possible that the first part is this instead:

xxx565
xxx555
xx3211

then the rest as before ?

Sorry that middle one is xx555x. I was doing a different voicing of the same chord because my mind’s ear was somehow filling in the top G (it’s in the original).

Ah excellent stuff
Thank you.

I find it surprisingly easy to mess up the order of the triads. 
Definitely one of those riffs you have to think about as you play it.

should be useful to watch Joe Walsh play it close-up

The top one of those is a great version - almost the definitive version I'd say

Joe's a funny guy too
