This is the overall harmony, he adds substitutions to these chords to give it a more 
bluesy sound but this will give you a good starting point.

Ebdim7: x67x78    or   xx1212

*The bracketed notes indicate a walking bass should you chose to add it. They ARE NOT 
separate chords. You can also play (F-F#) as a walking bass instead of playing the D#dim7 chord.
