Use a twelve string in standard tuning, nylon string sounds
good too.

used here and here, so I substituted this. I don't really like it.

^the way to hit this note, and the
way Kottke does, and to also smoothly
do the slide following, is to sort
of jam your ring finger in between
your index and middle. so it's middle
on 4th string, ring on 3rd, and index
on 2nd. then again, you could just
mute it and it'll still sound good.

^could be a 2 on the sixth

I think he's harping, so 4.
There's probably a more
accurate way, hint hint.
