Sure thing, man - that's super doable. Of note, there are two guitarists playing during that passage from 2:38 to 3:18 and I will show you how to play the main guitar section. Just give me a couple of minutes and I'll have a video up for you. Cheers!
Chicks just tell me: "meh, that's nice. But do you know how to play Wonderwall?"
Or better yet: "Oh cool. Is that a Rodrigo and Gabriela song?"

I'm pretty sure Sabicas is influenced by Mr Atkins too.
I wonder. My hunch is that he was more likely influenced by the classical repertoire, where it's a fairly common technique. Perhaps some of our friends here who are more knowledgeable about Sabicas's life could enlighten us.
BTW, I was just googling around and found out that, apparently, what Tommy Emmanuel is doing here is called "harp harmonics". I always thought it was "arp harmonics". You know, as in "arpeggio" lol

My impression was that when people say harp harmonics it's not so much about where the harmonics are played, but rather it's about that PA pattern where P plays harmonics and A regular notes. That's why I thought it was "arp" because you're going up and down the chord with that PA pattern. Dunno.

Really? I thought natural harmonic just meant open string and artificial meant fretted. Is that not it?
