These are the three ending notes that Randy played to obtain
a "motorcycle" type sound on his guitar, that sounded similar
to a motorcycle shifting gears.
To perform this technique, Ghost Bend each open string
with the whammy bar by lowering the whammy bar until
the strings are slack, then pull-off on each string
as you slowly raise each string back to it's normal
pitch until the whammy bar bridge is back in it's
normal position.
