Martin plays it up around the 7th fret and Jim plays it from the 2nd fret.
I find Jim's a bit tricky because it stretches over four frets and you need
to do a few hammers etc.

i think i've more or less got it now, up around the 7th fret (which is 
where the Oils play it).  i think the hard part is playing it as well as 
they do - if you don't play it well it sounds like crap so you think you're 
doing it wrong!
