He starts by turning on the sustainer in harmonic mode and letting it ring out an open high note and then holding a few more high notes and descending them slowly. The sustainer pickup stays on thoughout. He also uses the mic as a slide, which is a pretty rockstar move tbh. You can just use a normal slide. For the slide parts I will use the following notation: [3/5\3] This means scrape the slide from 3rd fret up to 5th fret, then back to 3rd. [Solo - Actual Riff]

For tone I used a Big Muff for the base Fuzz/Distortion. Then I added a flanger, some reverb and delay over the top to get that huge spacey tone from the video. ************************************ | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
