Here, on the v's you shake the 
whammy bar and at the last twelve 
you
lower the bar.

Super fast awesome solo that 
alternates from two guitars with 
different
tones is played here. It would take 
me a year to tab this thing out :P

I haven't found a very efficient 
fingering to play these notes, but
here is what they
sound like.  Maybe try barring the 
1st fret, holding the G-3 with your
ring finger, and
use your pinky to play the A-3 and 
A-4

Repeat that a bunch, then after that
 there are these 2 lightly
distorted chords.
