After that, play the rhythms above in that order : Rhythm 2, 1, 3, 1.

By the way, I'll call the rhythm under the first solo : RHYTHM 4
And Here's the 5th Rhythm played 3 times (The last time, play only the 2 first
bars)
E |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

(*) Take Care of that G5 chord, I find it very hard to do. Here's a
tip : upstrike it! If you still are unable to strike it in time,
try to take it on the A string at fret 10, it's easier but doesn't
sound the same.
Rhythm 6 (2 times):
E |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
B |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
G |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
D |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|

E |-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-------0-----|
PM-----/ Pm-----/ PM-----/ PM PM
(*) There's lot of tremolo bar-harmonic-reverb-echo effect over this part.
Rhythm 7 :
E |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
B |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
G |-------------|-----------|------------|-------5-| <-- Very weird sounding
D |-------------|-----------|------------|-----4---| chord, I love it!
