Impressive it is!! I remember back in 83-84 when I'd become fascinated by Eddie, I tried to figure that out and could get like the first 3-4 seconds of it!! From that specific tune is how I "realized" that harmonic points on a guitar neck CAN be moved by simply pressing whatever specific string harmonic you wished to achieve somewhere on the 1st thru 11th frets, then find those "half way" points as well as the other points the produce the, what I call, "secondary" harmonics!!!

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Oh, and I gotta say that your thumbs are just like Eddie's FWIW!!!

Is it harder than it looks cause I always get told it’s hard but you just kinda slap it at first then you do a peace sign shaped tap is there something I am missing ?
