This is how the main riff goes. PO is a pull-off, and the rhythm is
very weakly shown above the bar. As far as the second part of the
verse goes, just hit a D Chord a couple of times like so:
e:-----------|
B:-----7-----|
G:-----7-----|
D:-----7-----|
A:-----5-----|
E:-----------|
And then for the chorus. Each one of these chords is a measure, and you can
strum them at will. Listen to the record for the correct feel.

As far as the solo goes.... it's in A with a lot of Wah... I don't feel
kind of find the right key and play it. That's usually the way I do with
my band. Just know what key you're in and sort of jam, remembering the
overall thematic things. Have fun with this. If you need any help or
