Chord help for this malagueña

My ear sucks and it sounds so simple but since I have failed for too long to decipher these chords, I'd like to ask if anyone could tell me the chords that are played here during the tremolo at the 25ish second mark (and repeated around 2:12) of this Malagueña from Aurelio Selles and Melchor de Marchena. Thanks for any help

Capo 3. First position barre F chord. then open C major with G on 3rd fret 1st string tremolo shift to F first position chord and back and forth of those two (hold the G note with pinky), then full Barre F - C7 holding the barre so C7 is voiced from 6-1 under barre as G Bb E Bb C F, shifting between that and regular F barre (F held by tremolo), end on the Dm/F inversion held until resolve to E major.
