First guitar solo:
The simulatenous bends on the G and D strings in the first part of the solo
are played by first bending the G string up to the 14th fret. By doing this
you will have also bent the D string up half a fret unintentionally. Then
you simply pick each string while you have the strings bent. Jimi Hendrix
used this technique in his solos a fair bit.

Bridge:
Throughout this section another guitar makes spacey noises by using a slide and sliding
into random notes high on the fretboard. The notes aren't important, just the sound
that it makes, so I haven't bothered to tab them out. Make sure to add a lot of
delay if you decide to play that bit.
