In this challenging piece, the right hand only plays harmonics and the left hand only plays slurs. The musical equivalent of rubbing your stomach while tapping your head.

RobertW, What do you mean by "slurs" and where did you get that term from? Never heard that one before.

What I saw was that he is using hammer-ons and hammer-offs with his left hand to sound off the string notes because he's not picking or strumming with the right hand. The right hand was doing 3 alternating harmonic notes on different strings.

But my point is that I've never heard hammer-ons and hammer-offs called "slurs" before. Is that actually a thing?

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30
