No, I know artificial harmonics. These do not sound like any natural harmonic I'v ever heard. The sound is more akin to slap bass than anything else.

I also know pinch harmonics, so don't go there. These have a totally different sound than anything I've heard before. I think they're muffled harmonics in unconventional places, actually.

Try it: turn up youre treble to max and place your finger over or around (I'm not positivies on the positioning) the 3rd fret on the G string (it's the most audible). Keep the string muffled, and pluck it so that you can the percussive sound of the string hitting the fretboard. Not tuneful or anything, but I think that it's the sound he's getting.

The next step is to find all the rest of them, which could take a long, long while.
