(0:58) This is VERY INTERESTING.....here's how I tackle it.
       Very difficult to hear wha he's doing....DAMMNIT PAUL!!

   Ok ....I play this part muting over the 3rd fret bar.....because
   the technique is to mute but to let the harmonic ring out when I
   have it on the tab.....

(1:56)  This is ALL MUTED....Just figure out the rhythem.....I can try
        to tab the rythem.....same basic rythem as the harmonic part
        before....except no harmonics...

(3:00)...this is weird...sounds like he's scraping the pick on one of the
         strings as he's striking it. I USE pick for low d and finger
         for high d.
