The image is a little burry. What is the video or song? Can you provide a timemark? A little audio would go a long way here. :)[br][br]My best guess is that it's an A major with the thumb on the low root note & the rest of the fingers holding all or some of an F shape at the 5th fret.

The high E string might be in there also.

The index finger looks like it could also be on the G string, possibly helping to make a bluesy hammer on figure like this.

Hope that helps!
