Driving At Night by Joe Satriani from Not Of This Earth TAB'd by Frank A. Taylor - mork@sonic.net Get all the latest Satriani TAB's at my Satch TAB Page: http://www.sonic.net/mork/satriani.html This most requested song! This one for Jon C. from the list! Note that all vibrato Joe uses in this song is pretty much whammy bar vib (~~~~~~) as opposed to doing it with his hand, a very good way to get that distinctive sound!

It's those 2 harmonics, pulled up with the whammy bar until about 2.5 tones above where they started (pretty much all the way up on the bar) and then dipped until slack. Just before they get to the highest pitch, the b string harmonic gets silenced, whether by string damping or some audio phenomena...hard to tell :) Hope this helps!
