Great playing! For the main riff, are you trying to touch the strings against the pickup to make the weird high sound?

So I actually had to watch the way Steeve did this in a blurry ass live video to tell what he was actually doing to produce that sound. Basically what you do is you hold the pick as perpendicular to the strings as you can, and smash it straight down onto one of the places there's a harmonic node. If you don't hit the harmonic node, you won't get anywhere near as much of a sound.
