I only hear an E to D move with the motion from Emin (vi) to G (I). A little thing like that sounds neat when the other instruments are holding down the chord prog.
Emin G

Yes, it back to the main prog. He's either using a slight delay or both guitars are playing the same thing slightly out of sync:

6:00 - 6:15 (a nice little touch to the song that I can't figure out)
That's similar to the intro line & a lot of the ornamental stuff throughout.

But those bottom notes might be the other guitarist.

7:49 - 8:00 (This is a beautiful lead lick. It adds so much beauty to the song. How is he playing it?)
Same idea an octave higher.

1. Are they playing the C d E and G chord progression through the entire song?
The chord progression is the same throughout, except for the bridge at 3:10-3:34.
C(IV) / D(V) / Emin(vi) / G(I)
At around 3:10 they play A then D. From then to 3:34 they play:
Amaj (II) / C maj (IV) 3x, then Amaj / C(IV) - D(V). Then they are back to the main prog.
Best of success. Let me know how it goes!
