This also repeats about three times, then follows another line 09, then another set of these, and then...oh, eventually a crash'n'burn variation on line 06 with lots of offkey harmonics, screeching to a halt with a ferocious hammer-on over the neck with the left hand on a 333000 chord, after which collapse from oxygen depletion is in order, and makes a touching finale. * * * * ** * * ** ** * So...let's see where I can further confuse the issue.... Line 03: the 3h is an octave up from the 7h and sounds wonderful, if it can be coaxed into being. All those initial harmonic chords are nice slightly arpeggiated, although just a fist-impact (*POW]*) will do as well. Line 05: the X7h7h7h7h15 is indeed a bit of a stretch, so I often use the other harmonic node (don't ask at which fret, my hyperoctaves aren't too great) which involves a flamenco-style right-handed strum with the heel of the thumb brushing the strings at the requisite fret to get the harmonic. It's about fret 18 or 20 or something; two before the hole on my machine. Line 06: the harmonics can also be arpeggiated; he does them both ways, since that line more or less crops up more than once. Line 07: He accompanies the slap against the body with a short strum, or something. It comes out slightly different when I play it; too much intuition fluxing it up, I guess. He frets the slide from lo3 to pulloff to the 12h (or whatever sounds good; I do it a bit differently, and this may not be exact...prob'ly ain't) with his left index finger over the neck, then hits the 555555 from under the neck as a regular chord. Line 08: The lo3's (and following slides later on) are fretted over the neck with the left thumb. Most of the overneck hammer-ons are pinch-hit with the left index and thumb. Line 10: All the 333000's preceeding a slide to 10's are fretted over the neck with the left thumb. Get ready for the smoke to fly; I still can't play this fast enough. I think he must oil his strings:) Painstakingly handcrafted by
