Hi Al,
I believe this has already been discussed in some detail. If you do a search you should find it. If not, someone of greater knowledge than I will give you the answer you seek. Welcome to the forum!

like in previous posts, the chords were discussed but they never convinced me all that much.
After watching a couple of times some of the youtube videos...I think he approaches them something like so:

Bm7 - A7/C# - D° - D#° and coming back to E7 or whatever it is.

Bm7 ... for 4 beats
A7/C# for 2 beats
D° for 1 beat
D#° for 1 beat

The diminished chord shapes (D° and D#° respectively) starting at the 4th string like so:

1st ----10---- ----11----
2nd ----9 ----- ----10----
3rd ----10---- ----11----
4th ---- 9 ---- ----10----

I'm not sure these are the DEAD ON chords he plays but they sound similar.
Cheers!
