To get the change in pitch on the "12b", gently brush the tip of one of your
 fingers (on your picking hand) on the high D string somewhere above the neck
 pickup. If you do it right (and it might take a while to figure it
out)you'll get that change in pitch like in the song.

Didn't do the note count on that last part, shouldn't be hard to figure out.
