how to do it??

prime example: baba o reilly on msg dvd just after the quite part before "sally take my hand"

Pearl Jam and toast

I can't really picture what you're talking about with that part of the song (brain is working slowly right now..) but are you talking about sliding your pick down the strings?

Just cram your pick against the low strings and slide up the neck. The higher the gain the better.

i'll give it a crack...i think i've tried that but more practice required obviously..thanks mate

high gain, and a loose palm mute on the bridge, and just make sure your pick flows through the strings ncie so you get a consistant sound and feelign to the gain.

This doesn't require any practice. It's the first thing I ever did on the guitar that I thought was cool.

so you did it perfectly the first time you did it?

When you turn up the reverb and gain and slowly scratch in the direction of the headstock, it almost sounds like a plane crashing. It's pretty cool.
