	        Okay so this is really simple to play, the drumming on the body is also simple and you 
can embellish if you wish, just watch Newton play it on youtube and you'll pick it up :) 
When doing harmonics he usually alternates between rolling up and down the notes, but  
sometimes he does play them at once so you'll just have to listen to pick it up. 
Newton does play it slightly differently to this but I think it sounds pretty good.
