<#> - Natural Harmonics

(This IS correct - you do NOT play a full F#5 for the first chord - I get
one person a week telling me this, and it is wrong.  I know that's the way
it appeared in one of the guitar magazines, but all I can tell you is that
they were wrong.  Listen closely - P-Nut does play a F# note, but Tim
(and/or Nick) doesn't play a F#5 - the first chord he plays is not the
same as the third chord he plays (after the palm muting) in this riff -
and that third chord IS a full F#5).
