i'm a little confused on what harmonics are so i guess in turn i read the tab wrong

Edges part (including intro)
- begin this after playing bass pattern twice - in fact comes in half way
through the last bar (the G's on fret 10)

**Strumming pattern for rhythm shown above**
The effect can be gained by holding the pick with only about 1
millimetre clearance between the pick and the index finger. Instead of
actually plucking, hit the string at about a 45 degree angle - don't worry
if the string doesn't really sound, Edge doesn't seem to. What you're
basically doing is thumping the strings for all they're worth, and
expecting a far from clean sound.
 
^ harmonics! now there's something awesome. edge uses those alot (beautiful day intro, an cat dubh, i will follow bridge). . . you want me to explain?
 
^ the easiest to play are on the 12th fret. try this on the D string, for starters. now, you gotta press lightly on the string, on the 12th fret, and let go just after as you pluck the string. the note should ring out, and should be the same note as playing the 12th fret on the string. it takes a little time to get the timing down and such but it's pretty cool. you can do them on other frets too (like the 5th, 7th, 19th -- and some others but they don't sound too great). its a bit hard to explain but i think you can get the hang of it.
 
^ yeah, its the intro to pride too. no, it's not a pulloff. don't press down on the fretboard, just touch the string above the 12th fret, and pluck and release at the same time.
 
oh so you don't push down you just kinda touch it lightly w/o depressing it then go to another place on the fretboard. what does pride's intro look like in a tab?
 
^ no, just let go of the string and let it ring out.

pride intro:




e|---------------------------------|
b|-<12>------------------<7>--|
g|-<12>------------------<7>--|
d|--------------<7>--------------| 2x
a|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
