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:)
