Little Guitars (intro)

This instrumental, from the Diver Down album, was played on a nylon string guitar, as was Spanish Fly. Eddie remembers being very frustrated trying to write this piece. It was a prime example of his hearing something in his head that he was unable (at first) to transfer to the guitar. Amazingly, the song has no overdubs. The tremolo-picked sequence (a classical technique called "frailing") involves Eddie tremolo-picking the high E, B, and D strings (open), while performing hammer-ons and pull-offs on the low E string with his left hand.
