The slide down at the end is actually
done with the warp function on a
Boss Space Echo. If you don't have
one you can try diving for yr delay
pedal and modulating by hand or just
slide down the strings as shown

I think he sort of tremolo picks these slides a bit but it might just be the
sustain of whatever distortion he's using
