He is just using the edge of his pick and scratching what sounds like the low E and the A String at various points on the string to differ in sound. He is also probably twisting the pick around to get even more of a scratch

Sure you can do it, it takes practice, thats all. Sit around every day for 10 minutes doing some scratching and by the end of the month you'll have some interesting scratch licks for sure. Also, turn up the volume a bit to hear what you are actually scratching.

Pretty cool.
 Hehe, he sort of looses the rhythm towards the end. |
