    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.
  • PLAY TOO ..
