Play harmonic with right hand as loud as you can - be very accurate
with where you position the first finger and really use edge of nail
on little finger - play the chords very gently in between harmonics
to help it chug along but be no louder than the harmonics - then the song
starts quietly

[Miscellaneous]
Start very quiet - have to play to loudness of harmonics
Start playing harmonics of D chord on B and G strings - tap
and play snare at same time when playing high D
Then play harmonic F# by touching string at 14th fret with
1st finger and plucking with 4th finger
then strum &2& bit with right hand and play snare with thumb
Chords are
xx0232 x02222 x24432 (3x0002 3x0003)
Make sure chords played very lightly and completely muted
when you go to play the next harmonic
Notes - when start, tap harmonics of D chord at 12th fret area
And use those taps (some of them) for the backbeat
Tap harmonics on louder sections of with or without you
and can be backbeat as well
Intro riff
Fret the high D and articulate high note/s
with up pluck with 2nd finger - put in drop D
and strum with other fingers and can do snare
Also this is constantly played over the chords
So chords really are
D Asus4 Bm7 Gadd9 (3x0233)
In fact with ebow part becomes
D F#m7/A (ish), Bm7 , Gadd9 (3x0233)
Can use thumb to play hihat figure as well snare by using differnt
emphasis
little finger strum then th(2) TH(3) th(4) th(1) th(2) TH(3) th(4)
In parts of song guitar riff implies A7sus4
Right hand little finger to strum each chord and use right hand thumb
to play snare and 8th notes figure on sound board to give momentum
Make sure high note is held and vibratoed for as long as possible
Ascending figure 13 to 15 happens on transition from G to D
12(G) 13(G) 15(D)
