the timing right)

2:42
Sweepin and stuff
He does this minor sweep with a double tap using his middle and ring finger
i think. So when u tap those notes it's kind of like a hammeron and pulloff.
If you don't have a 24th fret, just try to tap the string where the 24 fret
would be, should work with some practice.

2:48 Killer-fast penta riff, just make sure to start on the 13th fret and end up
on the 10th fret! 
x3 times ( last time he ends up on the 12th fret F string)
(think of the notes as in groups of sixes)
