Does anyone else appreciate Chet's harmonics on "Spanish Flandango." It's a great instrumental. Some DJ used to play it as his theme song. It seems that harmonics would be very difficult on a Spanish guitar.

Actually, they're relatively easy. I usually pick with my thumb and touch the string with the tip of my index finger at a point one octave above the fingered note.

Full chords are a little harder, but I have managed to use my palm by strumming across and angling the stroke approximately in line with the shape of the chord.
