*Right after this comes an effect where Tom Morello 
slides his hand up and down the fretboard while he
flips the toggle switch (neck pickup full off, bridge 
pickup full on) rapidly. If you don't have a toggle 
switch, you can mute the strings with your left hand
and hit the strings (look at diagram below) with the 
edge of your pick somewhere around the 14th and 
16th frets.

Then finish the solo with this

That's it, the whole song in it's entirety. If this 
doesn't sound right then your playing it wrong
and may you burn in HELL for  disgracing the
greatest guitarist of our time.
