this is a cut but more fluent version of the first solo. The number of
notes I wrote down might not be accurate, but just listen to the music.
play this 2 times, then what follows is the Solo from above again:

B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|8--8--8-8-8-11-8-8-9-8-8-8-8-4-4-4-4-4-4/8-8-8-8-6-6-6--------------------|
