Band: Limp Bizkit
Song: The Channel
Album: The Unquestionable Truth, Pt. 1
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
The main riff of the song had always left me wondering of how Wes plays it.
For what I can tell, there's a natural harmonic in there and Wes' usual use of the
tremolo flutter technique.
It may not be 100% right but it sounds pretty good.

^ = tremolo arm flutter (with the tremolo pointing backwards, strike
the near end of the arm at the same time you pre-bend the 5th fret.
Also, let the low open string ring out during the flutter.
