a few notes on my notation:
X = scratch with fret hand palm or pick
\ = slide towards bridge
/ = slide towards nut
P.H. = Pinch Harmonic
P.M. = Palm Muting
~~~~ = vibrato
V = sweep pick (high to low strings)
22b(24)b(22) = bend to 24th fret, release to original pitch
p = pull off
h = hammer on
"In My Dreams with You"

there is some weird harmonist effect on this and it pans left and right
until about :20

this is tricky...mute the strings with your fret hand, and then
use the side of your pick and scratch diagonally across the strings
as notated (it takes a bit of practice and LOTS of precision, be
patient):
X1-right behind neck humbucker, X2-over first coil of neck humbucker
X3-start behind neck humbucker and go towards bridge humbucker
(this is a cool effect, and if you fiddle with it, you'll find
all sorts of weird harmonic noises between the end of your neck and
your bridge pickup...enjoy)

\ whammy down to about E X4-start around the 17th fret and
slide using the side of the pick
(with the pick at about a 30 degree
angle from the strings). Apply
enough pressure so you can hear
the notes you scratch across on
the fingerboard.
