Hey Tony. Have very much enjoyed your posts. I am happy that this crowd pleaser is still going strong. I remember you knocking it- I never understood, because this is just spot on. Its an absolutely brilliant piece of music! I remember hauling my old Yamaha in that big case up the stairs to you prefab in Scarborough in 1991. Good on you Tony, a true master."Slap chips" is brilliant. Danny

Tony, just wish I knew how you were able to play those harmonics at the beginning of the song with only your right hand!

What tuning do you play this song in?

[tonycoxmusic]

open Eminor (or Dminor), The harmonics are played by blocking off the string with my index finger and plucking the note with my thumb...

Thanks Tony,

I am aware of using the index finger and thumb technique. Used for non natural harmonics.Never saw it done though beyond the fret board though. Does that have something to do with the tuning?

And can I get a transcript of that beautiful song?

I love it. Wish was there!

Thanks for posting.
