A|--------5-------4-----5---------5--------------4---------------|
E|2--------------------------------------------------------------|

gtr. 1 continues this riff throughout the solo

SOLO:

played with slide (saw it live)

place the slide not between the frets but over them to get the best tone
place the notes somewhere else on the fret board or play without slide to make it easier

gtr. 2:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------6--/---7--------|
A|--------9\--------------9\-------------9-\-5-------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------7--\-6------------------------[13b14]-|
G|-----------------6----7---------7-----10-/-11------------------|
D|--------12\-------------------------------------11\\\----------| x2
A|9--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

the bend in brackets at the end is only played at the second time

LAST VERSE:

the scratchy sounds that can be heard while only bass is playing are done like this:

harmonics

play two notes with by barring with the ring-finger

otherwise if you use 2 fingers for the 2 notes one finger - ring or pinky -
is likely not to be exactly over the fret
