Its a bend while playing a chord with some crazy right hand technique. It makes the crowd lose their collective shit. It starts at 3:20. What exactly is he playing?

Lift the right hand up at the last note to make sure you don't mute it. Probably at the 12th harmonic note A, D, and/or more strings. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think he is.. but to get the same lick on my guitar in standard I have to play these notes: -----14-------------------------------- -----14-------------------------------- -----13(bend up a whole tone)---- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- He frets the E and B strings with his pinky and bends the G string up and down rhythmically using his 3rd finger, whilst strumming alternately and moving back and forth like Cosmin and Azzaboi said. Sounds like he's playing in Eb minor in the 12th fret box position. Just move up or down a fret depending on your tuning. Hope that helps.
