Notes:

  • First Solo: On the record this is performed by a recorder and saxophone playing different harmonies. Here's the main harmony for guitar. It can be played within barre chords for an interesting solo piece: 
    	  Bm         A          G          F#
	E-2----------5----------3----------2-------5-------
	B-323232323--5----------3----------2-------5-------
	G-4--------4-656565656--434343434--3232323-6565656-
	D-4----------7--------7-5--------5-4-------7-------
	A-2----------7----------5----------4-------7-------
	E------------5----------3----------2-------5-------
  • Outro Solo: This sounds like an improvised solo. It's quite hard to transcribe these because they're all about feeling. There's lots of manic bending and lengthy bends. He also uses a delay pedal to give it that 'daydreamy' effect. The solo is basically in Bm: 
    	                 Delay
