guitar is no longer muted and sounds like it has a phaser effect on it and some haromonics. while this is happening another guitar track is playing the higher octave. like so: d--12-0-10-0-13p12-0-12-0-10-0-13p12-0--- a---------------------------------------- d---------------------------------------- and it ends like this: e----------------------------------------------- b----------------------------------------------- g----------------------------------------------- d--12-10-13-12-10-13-12-10-12b(about 1/2 step)-- a-----------------------------------------------
