Need help figuring out what chord is being played on this vid

Can anyone help me with figuring out what is being played here at about 1:54 where the lead guitarist plays it then slides up to the start of the chorus of:

It looks like he's just playing a power chord at either the 16th or 17th fret and then sliding down. Maybe try playing one of those along with it and see which sounds better to you. With something like that, the actual slide down is probably more important than the starting point, IMO.

I agree, if you mean just the downward sound effect thing, it doesn't make much difference where you start the slide from. You can just kinda throw your hand randomly at the fretboard there and achieve a similar sound.

 

Of course when making Rocksmith notes you have to mark the start somewhere, so for example 12 frets (octave) above what's currently being played makes logical sense and sounds nice.
