(Also, the harmonic note is a B, which is the same as the note at the 13th fret of the B string when
it's tuned down to Bb. If you're having trouble hitting the harmonic on the 6th fret of the Low E
(tuned down to Db) then you can always fret the note instead--it just sounds better and makes for
smoother playing when you gently touch the 6th fret while you mute the other strings for that
section.)
