Note 1: there are no rhythm guitar on the solo, there's just the bass line.
But I don't play solos, and I just followed the bassline on the guitar. If
you know how to play the solo, won't make any difference. If you don't play
the solo, follow the bassline, so you won't need stop playing the song on the
solo.
Note 2: on "Riff 1", I didn't count the "E's", so listen to the CD to get the
right number of notes.
