If I see you at Balticon, remind me that I want you to show me how to slide an artificial harmonic (I'm assuming that's what I'm hearing on Zep's "Black Mountain Side", which confuzzles me how it's done [although it sounds more like a bend than a slide, which really messes with the brainpan]).

Will do, if I remember. There's really not much to show, just a lot of getting your hands to do it: it's only as complicated as it sounds, and the closest thing to a 'trick' to it is that it helps to be both firm and precise to avoid accidentally muting the harmonic during the slide. Sounding the artificial harmonic in the first place is the hardest part.

Oh, and you can bend an artificial harmonic. Sound the artificial harmonic, and bend the string. :-)
