Figuring out a guitar part by ear, having trouble

[anttofm]

This song has no live recording, music video, guitar tab or guitar cover online, so I've been relying solely on my ear to figure it out.

There's a part that the Guitarist (named you) plays that has completely stumped me. Here's the part for reference:

(around 1:01-1:04)

This guy is also one of the top 10 best guitarists in Japan so I'm not exactly beating myself up for not being able to play it, haha. Can someone help me figure out how he plays this?

My gut is telling me that it's two-handed tapping, or just REALLY fast alternate picking. I don't know, I just know that even attempting this song has made me better at the instrument

What part are you talking about? At what time in the song?

It starts at about 1:01 and lasts for like, 2 seconds

Sorry, just got the time to give it a listen. Gotta say, I have a hard time hearing properly the lead guitar line

Try to split the music from the rest of the song. https://vocalremover.org/splitter-ai

Convert the Youtube video to MP3 then upload it to the splitter program. It's not perfect, but it will give you a much cleaner sound without the mix.

SLOW it down

try playing the 2nd fret on the G and B string in a sweep motion, while pulling off from the 5th on the B

Grab your guitar and play the second string seventh fret. Keep listen to the song and try to follow his line from the moving around the fret board. You’ll get it man!!! It takes a bunch of time but it’s worth it!

It sounds like they are using natural harmonics over the neck. EVH did this a lot and that's the first thing I thought of. I would definitely watch EVH harmonics on the neck vids on YouTube to really grasp this. The other part sounds like a standard pentatonic weedly haha.
Hope this helps : )

Decided to take a crack at this. I downloaded the song and stuck it in reaper, halved the speed, and eq'd a bit to make it a bit easier to hear the guitar. Currently I'm tuned to E Standard. 2544 pattern is palm muted. * Signifies natural harmonics. The 76567 pattern I interpreted as a sweep.
