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|
|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|

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