Chorus

for this part its hard to emulate the exact sound on guitar for the smooth sond
But for this I pluged my Sk-1 synth into my pedals and used the distoriton
And delay and it came out fairly well, but here it is on guitar

String Simulation- At the end Use long Delays and slide
                   back and forth from the 12th-20th fret
                   But mainly tremolo pick on the 20th
 Tremolo pick
