You gotta use a Whammy pedal to play it successfully. Set the Whammy Pedal on "2 octaves above". Section 1) and 2) Pick the first 6 notes quickly while rocking the pedal forward and backwards once for each note. The 7th note is picked once with the pedal pushed forward. Section 3) Hammer-ons: pluck the first note once, and hammer on second note repeatedly while pushing pedal forward at a slightly slower rate than in sections 1 & 2. The last 3 notes of the solo are plucked once with the pedal pushed forward. NOTE: The Whammy can emit a lot of unwanted distortion on the double octave setting. I find playing with the middle pickup on and the tone turned almost off will eliminate this distortion. It helps if you slightly mute the strings also.
