(On this pinch harmonic at the 3 fret on the 5th string,
bend the string up one full step, then bring it back down
and preform a vibrato, still holding the pinch harmonic.
(Last note on this staff) (pinch place is right in front
of the middle pickup, if you have a stratocaster pickup
layout guitar)

9This is a genius guitar lick that was origanally used by EVH, it's
a bit tricky to learn, but with practice, i know for sure you can
get it :D. What you do is pull off ALL OF THESE NOTES, and take
your Right hand palm and very gently touch the strings by the
bridge, and slowly move your RH palm down the strings, towards
the direction of the neck. You will hear alot of harmonics all
over the place which makes a very cool sound effect, with
practice and right timing, you can get it just like it is
on the CD.)

(for this part Zakk plays it an octave down live, because its not as
hard. But on the recording he uses this so depending on what version
you are trying to learn i have added both)
