Now this is where Justin starts to do his own thing, listen closely.
It's hard to hear and this is what I think he's doing. Timing is
off as well...

Delay on. This is hard to hear, this is my best take. I know it's
wrong though.
Atleast the note on the A string is... not even sure if there is
one...

^^^I'm pretty sure it's on the A string, but it sounds ok on the
low D.

Rest for a few seconds...
I think this is a pickscrape, it sounds too trebly to be a normal
"fretted" note.

FM4 on wah setting. He varies the motion of his foot,
sometimes he goes all the way, sometimes he doesnt.

FM4 off.
Tricky riff, he does a slide in the middle of it and hits a D.
And slides up at the end to the high D on the low D. The first D is
hard to hear though.
Your left hand mting technique is needed for this riff as well.
