Any tabs I have seen for this song do not include the solo. The solo
is one of my favourites so I sat down and worked it out myself
since no one else has.

At this point the song goes back into the rhythm guitar but I think there may be
some lead guitar in the background played by a second guitar. Below is what I
play. Even if it's not on the cd it sounds cool anyway.

That's it. Just play along with the cd and you will be able to figure out where
all the parts go. The solo is accurate, but any comments are welcome. There is
also some lead guitar during the last chorus. It is just a bunch of long
bends and other sections of the solo repeated so just play around. Enjoy.
