Use a whammy pedal, slowly push down until the pedal
is completely open. (Note : I don't own a whammy pedal,
but I tried it on one and I believe it's set to 8va)

OR

If you are like me and don't own a whammy pedal,
this sounds alright. Just gradually slide from the 12th
fret up to the 21st or 22nd, and bend up to 24th (1 or
1.5 steps up depending to which fret you slide to)
