Can't get harmonics on 6th and 13th Fret!

on the 6th fret to get the best harmonic you want to go slightly behind the fret, and the thirteenth fret harmonic is right after it :-)
also be careful that youre getting your finger in exactly the right spot for this song because inbetween the 3rd fret and 5th fret theres about 7 or 8 different harmonics you can get
 
there aren't any 6th or 13th fret harmonics in that song (I would say there aren't even 6th or 13th fret harmonics at all)

he frets the 2nd fret and then does the harmonic of the 6th fret. likewise he holds the 9th fret down to play the 13th fret harmonic
