Speaking of licks

I still hadn't figured out how to do the chime thing BE did on the end of the "Half A Mind" song with ET. Anybody know it? I'm sure it's so simple but I've chased it from time to time over the years. Intro is what I'm referring to. Chimes with 3 strings at the end of the intro. Thanks. ( 3 separate parts )

Billy,
In the key of A with the bar on fret 5 no pedals, cock your right wrist somewhat more so that your fingers are pointing back toward your stomack and place your thumbpick behind your ring finger and rake strings 5,4 and 3 at fret 17, do the same thing at fret 12, then at fret 10 engage A and B pedals rake the same strings and release A and B.
With a little practice you'll be doing it in no time.
It's a "timing" thing and I know that you will hear and feel it right off the bat.
Let me know if this helps.
BB
