I've never seen Roy play this, and wonder exactly what he does becuase the way I do this, the harmonics at the end don't work out (so I've left them out of this!). I did have a version which was almost impossible to play in G (and you needed very long fingers for!) for which the harmonics did work bt never found a compromise. Roy well have played this on open tuning but that makes it (a) incredibly boring to play and (b) the harmonics still don;t work!
