3rd. finger of left hand remains firmly on note A. Right-hand finger ' i' slaps onto fret
(sixth string) at D sharp and keeps that note resonating. While note is resonating,
bend the sixth string with left hand thereby altering the pitch of the D sharp note.
When the note is at its highest distorted pitch release right hand finger (but plucking)
to resonate the original (left-hand) A pitch which should be higher, due to the bent string.

Then, with left-hand fingers, return string to the original pitch.

Place the flesh of finger ' i' on the sixth string at the point where the rosette is closest
to the bridge. Bounce the ' i' finger towards the fretboard moving smoothly while plucking
with the thumb nail. The result should be a type of muffled and chopped glissando which
pluck strings also picks up some harmonics. The same procedure is used (twice) later on strings 5 & 1 (* & **) .
beyond the nut Here, the plucking is articulated with the ' a' finger.
