The main elements are soloing (with a wah) towards the start, followed by some messing about with natural harmonics (with wah), and then some messing about with left hand muting with a wah. Then play a string of E chords (x79xxx) to lead into a final chorus.

It's a pattern of muted and non-muted E chords (x79xxx) -- Matt Javes Everything above represents my opinion only. Except when I'm lying.... matt@redstart.demon.co.uk
