I'm not sure but I've found a guy that talks about it, not explaining thoroughly sadly. Check the minute 2:27
Now thats the only thing i could find but i've seen tommy emmanuel do it and talk about it. Anyway i dont think there is really a way to do it other than working hard on it.
I'm sure you dont have to be conservative about the forum.
