I was looking at the comfortably numb solo and at around the 7th measure he does a rake down to the 14th fret and a quick pulloff, i was wondering the best way to play this in terms of where my fingers should be and where i should be going. thanks

the way i did, it is take the Open D shape and slide it so your middle finger ends up being on the 14th fret. then instead of raking it, i accualy play the notes that your fingers make the shape of. kind of like a very short sweep pick. all down strokes.

you can hear my cover of it at http://richmusic.dmusic.com

I dont know if you described it how i was thinking of. How should my fingers be placed right before and right after i do the rake and hit the F# on the 1st string?
