This is an arrangement for the song "Oceanside" from Final
Fantasy VIII. It's this song that plays on Balamb city and
other cities. It's fairly easy but it has some "artificial
harmonics", shown like this:

                      |-----------|
                      |--3(15)----|
                      |-----------|
                      |-----------|
                      |-----------|
                      |-----------|

 This harmonics are done by pressing the note at the fret number
 shown BEFORE the parenthesis, resting your right hand index
 finger over the fret shown in the parenthesis, and playing the
 string with the right hand's middle or ring finger (The ring
 finger works better for me) This is not an easy technique to
 explain in words. I will soon be showing how to do it in the
 "Guitar Techniques" section of my web page (Look for the address
 at the top or at the bottom of this file)
