Artist: Puddle of Mudd
Album: Come Clean
Song: Blurry

Tuned 1/2 step down: A = Ab

This is the correct "harmonic" intro:

C D

---------------------------------------------------------------
---7-------5-7---------5-7-----------------5-7--------5-7------
-----5-7---------5-7---------5-7-----5-7---------5-7--------5-7
---------------------------------------------------------------
3--------3-----3-----3-----3-----5-------5-----5-----5----5----
---------------------------------------------------------------

Em
----------------------------5-7-----------------------------5-7
----------5-------7---5---------------7---5-------7-----7------
----5-7-----7---5-------7-----------5-------7---5-----5--------
---------------------------------------------------------------
7-------7-----7-----7-----7-----7-------7-----7-----7-----7----
---------------------------------------------------------------

The 5th string bass notes are played normaly and the balance are
harmonics. I suggest playing the harmonics alone to get the pattern down
first. Yep, the C is a stretch but can be done (dude must have some lanky
fingers or wonder if maybe using a short scale guitar.) Referrencing a
second "unplugged" acoustic version of this tune verifies that this is in
fact all 1 part, not overdubbed or tuned funny. If you can't span 4 frets
from 1st finger to pinky *yipe* then leave the bass notes to the bass and
simply play the harmonics. Note there is that "extra" 2nd string harmonic
thrown in immediately following the first C bass pluck, and the Em pattern
changes slightly as shown... those aren't typos.

Note too that you really need nice new lively bright strings for this to
sound right... if you play it on dull dead strings you'll never carry it.
It's one of the most clever 3 chord tunes around, the balance is pretty
easy:

Csus9 Dsus9 Em

3 5 7
3 5 8
5 7 9
5 7 9
3 5 7 <(w/pull-offs on Em 2nd string)
