- E down to CA down to GD down to C
- G down to DB down to GE down to E Low (I know, its weird and it may not work on light gauges but you have to
- down 6 whole steps (full octave) in order for the song's harmonics to work.)The whole song involves a lot of natural 12 and 7 harmonics through slapping (with the
- finger extended). There isn't an actual tablature for these parts because the kid prettyjust improvs it. Make it sounds cool and have the right timing. Thats all I do. Watchscene in the movie to get it right.
- Begin by slapping back and forth with right and left hands, right over the sound holeleft over the 12 fret harmonic.
- Then you do the main melody natural harmonics. What I do is use my pointer finger of myhand tap hard on the fret of the string to make it resonate. From what it looks like,
- is how the kid does it in the movie as well. But you can always put your other fingerthe fret and finger pick with your right hand. It goes like this:
- E----------------------(12)-----|G-----------------(12)----------|D------------(12)---------------|
- C-------(12)--------------------|G--(12)-------------------------|C-------------------------------|
- Then you, while slapping with the left hand for rhythm, you do an alternation pointerpinky finger hammer-ons, almost like double tapping, back and forth like this
- *(The numbers with asterisks* aren't necessary but I was told it sounds good on aguitar by a contributor. Thanks Luc!)

- C---3*--------------------------------------------------------------|E---------------------------------|
- G---------------------------------|D----9---12---9---12---9---12-----|C---------------------------------|

- and then immediately follow that with a right hand swipe towards you with the loweststrings
- E---------|G---------|D---------|
- C----0----|G----0----|G----0----|
- and repeat.
- Go back to harmonics and slapping. And then take your pointer finger and middle fingeryour right hand and hammer on the 2nd and 3rd strings and bend them just a bit every timehit. Also, when you let go of the string do a pull off the let the open tuning ring a
- At the same time put in some bass notes with the same action on your left hand with5th and 6th strings. Then do the double tapping you were doing before and end withswipe. Like this:
- E-------------------------------------------------------------|G---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9-------------12--------|
- D---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9---9--12--9------------|C---------------------------------------------------------0---|G---5------------------------7----------------------------0---|
- C---5------------------------7----------------------------0---|Then go back to slapping for a bit and repeat that last section again.
- End with left hand double tapping like this.
