If you have trouble with that (like me), try playing an open A chord at the second fret instead. The important thing is to keep that open high E string ringing during the full chord progression. ^...bend (w=whole tone) h...hammer on r...release bend p...pull off o ~...vibrato o...repeat bars between the symbols =...hold note (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
