Could somebody PLEASE decode the 'mystery' lick at 3:41? It sounds
like sweep picking. I've tried listening at half speed, but I just
can't figure it out. This has eluded me for years...
P.S. Please permit me to include the following response that I received
after I first
posted this tab...

This is what I play (well, try to play, and fail!). It's not quite
right but it's a start... Maybe someone else can improve on it...

(You can see it on the Easter video, on the 6 of 1... compilation.)
By the way, I think Steve starts the solo on the 7th fret of the top E
string and works up from there. I'm sure you've got the notes right,
but it might make a difference to the tone. Also, at the end, it
sounds to me like he somehow takes that final note up an octave as it
fades. I can only guess he uses a harmonic...
(I play:)
(touch for harmonic)
(top E) --12---10---5------3-------(15)---
... but then again it sounds like it happens too gradually to be a
harmonic like that. Any ideas?
