This is essentially just a fun little run with some practice in natural

harmonics at the 5th fret. Part of Bert's genius is making a little material

go a long way... Play measures 1-12, then repeat measures 11 and 12 a few

times, then go back and do it over again. Starting left hand position is

2 on G string, 3 on B string. Notes in () : natural harmonic at indicated

fret.
