Off of VH #1 and diver down for sure.

Here is the beginning lick of Atomic Punk.Use a flanger,or combfilter,and 
a tad o' slapback delay for the Sliding noise effect.The partial rhythm
for Dancing in the Street's is a distorted heavily echo timing thing.
Oh maybe if you want to try a different thing for the Atomic Punk you can
add a wah into the signal and roll it back a little  and give it a try.
This seem's to make it more fatter or give it just the right hint of 
sustain when you need it.I think.Tune those babies down a 1/2 step too.

*=scratch srings with edge of palm in like a rhythm of three.You really need
the flange for this and echo would add a cool effect if you time it rite.
