G---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Keep going down the neck,
          
                 You can do this on the B string or the G string, Zakk uses ether

                    To do this right, place your RIGHT hand on the 14th fret, and your LEFT pulls and releases
                     on the 17th, then run your hands like that down the neck.



Lick 3 “the two sqwells”, Zakk is the master at this.

D---------------------                  D----------------------
A---------------------        and       A----------------------
LE-------3~~----------                  LE--------5~~----------
 
               You can do this on any of the low strings ( D, A, and low E)

             To do a sqwell, you must down pick the string, but on your way down, after you’ve picked the
                String, rub the string a little tiny bit with your thumb. (it takes a long long time to get it right)



Lick 3

HE------------17-15-12-----17-15-12------17-15-12-----------------
B--------------------------15--------------15--------------15-----   repeat this over and over again.

 HINT (to get that “high bottom” sound when he does this….use the neck pickup)
