I know this is right because I got it straight from Howi over email.
Its very easy :)
You may need to just listen to the song to get the picking just right or to just play it
it feels right to you.

Solo is played in the key of A augmentedA
Howi's solo is pretty cool but I always find it fun
to come up with one on my own :)
I think I figured out the solo for the most part. I'll post what I have later.
