Hey Guys,

I'm working on a new song and have a couple questions about the Tab notation.

For a bend, what does it mean if you have two strings (the lower, E-A) in parenthesis
with the bend note? Something like:
1
/
A--(6)
E--(6)

Do I bend both strings up a whole step and the release back?

The next question is about harmonics, the tab has a note that says
"Harms with decimals found between frets, i.e. Harm. indicated 2.4 is located approximately 4/10 the distance between 2nd & 3rd frets" and then the tab shows something like this:
Low-E (Actually, dropped to D) -----2.4---3.6---2

What does that mean and how do I play it?

Thanks!
 
I won't know the answer regardless, but what's the song? Hearing it helps to put things in context (by definition, I suppose).
 
It's Omerta by Lamb of God:



It's in the intro, don't know exactly where right now because I'm at work. I'll check when I get home.
