* These harmonics are produced by lightly applying your index

finger to the low E and gradually sliding from around fret 1.75

to 4 or so.  A good way of looking at this is letting your finger

touch the E while setting back up for the C octave chord.

     Zero - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

            Transcribed by Adam Morris



I haven't seen this tabbed yet, so here it is.





1/2 step down



* above note means harmonics.  If 2.5 is written that means

that you place your finger RIGHT in the middle of the third

fret.



Practice may be needed to get the right sound out of these

harmonics, but I assure you..they are correct.
