Thanks Henry, It just a little bit of fun, just to see what it woukd sound like in one take,,, asto the harmonics I have never had
a problem doing them... the easy way is to pick the string( if your playing the chord or E 7th fret ) at the 12th fret using your little finger curled and resting on the onthe same string at the 17 th fret( also E )... as you move up the neck then your picking position has to move up as well...

thanks John, I kind of know the theory, but i've been practising them for months and can still only pull them off half the time! i've been using my palm rather than my little finger, maybe that's where i'm going wrong?

"at the 12th fret using your little finger curled and resting on the onthe same string at the 17 th fret( also E )"

so are those two octave harmonics you're playing? never really tried them..
