Additions by Taylor, 01/02/06:

I find this to work well for the main portion:

|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|
|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|
|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4|----------------------|----------------------|
|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4|6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6|
|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4|6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6|
|----------------------|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4|

|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|
|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|
|0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0|

Then for the break:

|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|4-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|4---4---6---6-6-2-2-------------------------------------------------|
|2---4---6---6-6-2-2-------------------------------------------------|
|----2---4---4-4-0-0-------------------------------------------------|

I tried to figure out the solo, and this is what I came up with. It's probably way off, but give it a try and let me know if it works:

|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|10b12-10(12)-10(12)-10(12)r10-7-10---------------------10b12--------|
|-----------------------------------9b11r9-7-9-9b11r9-7-----------7-9|
|-------------------------------------------------------------7-9----|
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

|-----7-10-12b14r12-10-15b17--15b17r15-12-15----------------|
|7-10----------------------------------------15b17r15-12-15-|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------15b17-------------12---15-15b17-------------------------|
|14b16r14-12-------------12-14---------------------------------------|
|------------------12-14---------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
