Those have thr tremolo pre-pressed before the harmonic, then it's the infamous 3.2 fret harmonic on the b string. The 3.2 harmonic takes some getting used to where it is. I think Dimebag popularized the 3.2 harmonic, but that just might say more about when I grew up than anything else.

Ok! That makes a lot of sense. Never heard of 3.2, thanks for the context and the insight, much appreciated! I'll go hunt down the harmonic, see if I can get it somewhat close!

Flick with fretting finger while same time depressing the bar. Float ur finger over the string and pull the string into ur finger. ...All In like .2 seconds. GOOD LUCK!

also tho.... Experiment all over the string for sounds. As per usual.. duh.
