Doug Steele: he's your ice cream man baby!

Doug Steele says:

I have seen so many guys fuck this up that it boggles the mind. No, it's not tapped,and it's not done all on one string. It's a 3 note per string phrase played on 2 strings, played on frets 12, 16, and 19. You can see Ed clearly play it on the Us Festival footage.

Once you catch the order of the notes slowly, it's pretty easy to get it to speed. Stretch is clearly a bitch.
