Then there's a little fill arpeggio that sounds to me like this:

|--------------12h15p12------------------|
|----------13-----------13---------------|
|------12-------------------12-----------|
|--14---------------------------14-------|
|-----------------------------------15~--|
|----------------------------------------|


And then it comes this march-rhythm. The background guitar seems to be around G major 
or G5:

                                    1 step w/vib               1/2 step w/vib

|-----10---------10--12--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|


  fast fill (aprox.
  1 or 1.5 seconds)                                           1/2 step w/vb

            1/2 step w/vib                           Artif. Harm.

|--9-------------------------------------------7--6--7~------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|


Aprox 1 or 2 seconds later:

    **                                                            1 step

** Hold the bend without sound. Then hit the string and release the bend.
   Your finger is always on the 14th fret.


Clearly:
                                 1 step                                                   1/2 step
