Effects on - Bass Whammy on, 1 octave up, with distortion, flanger and a small
amount of delay.
 
Played with your thumb/fingers as it needs to be lighter than a pick. Pluck each
note and swell the volume up and down as the note rings out. For the first two notes
the whammy pedal should be rocked all the way back and then pushed forward as you
play the A at the 7th fret on the D string.

Hammer-on each note with your fretting hand, turning the volume knob up as you
hammer the note while pressing the whammy pedal forward and then rocking the whammy
back slightly after the note has been played and rolling off the volume.
