Outro
To get this sound is kinda tricky but
here is what I did and found out works best
Whammy Up a second
Pedal Facing Up
^ = Bend 1/2 Step Up
TRICKY PART
After you bend up as you are
letting the bend back down
do it slowly while you are doing this
push the pedal forward slowly.
() = Ghost Notes
e-------------
B-------------
G------14^-(14) (dont play the second 12's)
D------14^-(14) (you will get them from the whammy)
A------------- (if you dont understand just play it)
E-------------
