This way of playing sounds best, but
 could be hard if you only have
one guitarist, with two guitarists 
one could play the chords and one
play the lead. So, here's an 
alternative version for those of you
 who
only have one guitarist. It doesn't 
sound quite as good, but the actual
notes are the same and it is closer 
to the chords. Good Luck.

Then play it an octave higher, 
unless you have a whammy pedal, in
which case you can just set that to 
play on octave higher, as this
sounds better than playing on higher
 strings, especially on older
guitars.

I don't know the solo, but I'm sure 
many guitarists could make a
reasonably good inprovised one up.
