Recorded with lots of reverb on both patterns, but for guitar I'd 
recommed flanging as well to add to the ringing. 

Interesting time signature stuff here-- 
It seems that the whistling riff is in 12-8, over the background arpeggio 
which is 8-8, so in other words they don't exactly stay together.
