 PERFORMANCE NOTES______________________________________________________

 The harmonic notes (harm.) are played as follows:
 The harmonic notes are played 12 frets above the note freted by the
 left hand. In the second bar for example the notes are freted at the
 2nd fret but the harmonics are played at the 14th frets.
 Use the index finger of the right hand to touch the string while the
 thumb of the right hand plucks it. Just subtract 12 from the harm.
 to find out the left hand freted notes.

 Some of the chords:
