What makes the part famous
The techniques to work on to play it, each in one sentence.
Tapping
The picking hand taps notes on the fretboard, for runs one hand alone couldn't play.
Solo
The passage where the guitar steps forward and sings on its own, phrase after phrase.
Whammy bar
The bridge's tremolo arm drops or raises the pitch, from a gentle vibrato to a full dive.
