* Bend the 15th fret up a whole step and hold it.  Then catch the 15th fret
on the 3rd string and bend it a half step and pick twice.  It should sound
like the 17th fret on the 2nd string and the 16th fret on the 3rd string
played together.  Then bend the 17th fret up a whole step and let it ring
while you play the 14th and 17th fret on the 1st string.  Then still
holding the 17th fret up pick both 17s.  The rest is self explanatory.

Some of the slides, etc. are faster than others.  Just listen to the album
and you'll get it.  I did not include artificial harmonics.
