That end bit is all the same bend on the 17th fret. You bend all the way up to 19 and
pick it,
then you lessen the bend to 18 while continuing to pick and finally release it and pick
the 15
at the end. So your finger stays in the 17th fret the whole time. Listen to the CD for timing.
PS. The 17's right before the bend might be VERY slightly bent up. Like we are talking
somewhere in between 17 and 18. So just play what feels right.
