Yep, just to be a real sadist I decided to place an artificial harmonic here. Pluck the string with your ring finger whilst touching the string about 1 cm beyond the 19th fret with your index finger. If you find it tough, wait till you scroll a couple of pages down ;-> V.......... | | | | | | | | | | | | V......... | | | | | | | | | | | | VIII...mf... | | | | | | | | | V........

Now for the tricky bit... | | | | | | this should be picked just to the right of the sound hole (for right handers that is) and the high E should sound. The exact position will vary depending on your guitar. This can also be done leaving the left hand on the A (5th fret) It is important to try and get the harmonics as loud and as clear a possible. from here on it is not strictly v | | | | | | pp V........... | | | | | | | | | | V......... | | | | | | | | | | | | VIII........ | | | | | | | | | V.....
