    What does Eddie play between 0:13 and 0:16?

    Sounds simple and cool but my ears suck and I can't figure it out!!!

    his usual tap harmonics

    he is messing around the C# note, so if you are tuned in E then for example you can fret the 4th fret on the A string, start hitting harmonics with your finger of your picking hand just above the fret and then bending them with your fretting hand at the 4th fret. The good spots do hit in this case would be 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 20th, 21st and 23rd fret but you can freely try with other frets too as long as you can get good screaming harmonics if you tap the spot.
    Or you can do it on the low E string and move the fretting position to 9th fret and then starting to hit the harmonics.
    Or you can move it up an octave to get more scream and fret the 6th fret on the G string and hit 10th, 11th, 13th, 18th etc. frets.

      I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.
