Transcription comments: I think most of this is pretty close, except the
very last bar which is completely wrong. The two-hand tapping sections
have suggestions for which hand taps which note, but I don't think I
play it with the same hands Dave LaRue does ;-)
1. The third-fret harmonics (bar 2 and again near the end) are played
right above the 3rd fret (the metal thing, not the space between metal
things); the actual pitches are A and E (don't play the harmonic between
the 2nd and 3rd frets).
2. Watch those right hand parts in bars 4-7: The first three notes in
bar 4 (and the first three in bar 6) are fretted with the left hand;
the rest is done with the RH (tap-slide-slide-pulloff-tap-slide).
Transcription legend is at the end of the tab.
3. The artificial harmonic in the eighth LINE is most easily played (for
me, anyway) above the 25th fret (just past the 24th fret) on a 24 fret
neck; it could equally be played at the sixth fret.
4. Watch those tapped 7th fret harmonics (3 natural, 1 artificial) in the
last-line-but-five.
5. And for Pete's sake, let those notes ring. Think bar-chord.
