It slides to 22 on high e string when the piano starts, and lasts 3 bars. It sounds
like a harmonic on the same note is played briefly just before the end of the third bar.
There is no more guitar from this point onwards.

Definitely harder to tab than anything else I've done. I'd appreciate a rate, and don't
hesitate to suggest any corrections.
