Does anyone know what the chords under the solo in "Fives" are?

Also, are any tracks available as music-1? I'm trying to use a Guthrie tune as an audition, but I'm having trouble splitting the main guitar part from the background.

iirc it alternates between Am11 and Fm7 or possibly some other Fm variant like Fm11.

The non-Am section is split (50/50, IIRC) between Fm7(-ish) and Dbmaj7(-ish). Or Fm/Db, which would get a similar result.

When I play it, Amin, Amin, Cmin, Fmin, repeat

It's probably the same as what everyone else has written, but just another way of looking at it if you prefer looking at it from a Minor point of view.

Guthrie often uses the A Dorian mode over the two Am chords, but usually normal C Aeolian and F Aeolian over the other chords respectively is the safest way to sound good.
