one thing i've been trying to figure out are some of Weldon's crazy descending licks. Its like something is getting lowered (or maybe raised?) into a unison and it almost has a minory sound. I know, its kinda hard to describe. It can be heard in "Cry, Cry, Cry" in the 2nd half of the intro. And again during an instrumental turnaround later in the song.

i play standard emmons copedent with a RKL raise to G# on the 1st string.

Is this something that can only be done with Weldon's copedent?

Anyone know what lick i'm talking about?

(most are'nt using first string half tone raise,  )
(so I tabbed using just basic knees, so if you see)
(it than use it or pull the string or play it like)
(I tabbed it and works fine, Have fun!!!!!!!!     )
