This is the greatest live song ever. The rhythm is some kind of variation on a
twelve bar blues and gets sort of tedious, but if you've got second guitar then

you can spice it up a bit with some riffs between lines.

That's all there is to the rhythm. That pattern is repeated throughout the song.
The solos and licks are improvised on the D Minor Pentatonic scale, so you can
figure those out yourself.
It's a great song -- Enjoy
