SOLO:
Main bit play twice before other sections:
All pinch harmonics:
e|
B|-------------------------------------------10-12~~~|
G|---------------------------9-10-12-12-10-9-----------|
D|------------------10-12-13---------------------------|
A|--10-12-13-13-12-10----------------------------------|

play that twice VERY VERY fast before other parts.

Section 1:
e|--\/\/-----------20~~~~~~~~~~~-------------|
B|--\/\/-------15-------------------15-------|
G|--\/\/--2/18--------------------------18-17|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------!!|

! means pick scrape

Section 2:
e|----------------------------22~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|--22~~~~~~22~~~~~~22~~~~~~--------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
Wild whammy vibrato!

Continue doing some crazy shaking on that D note and then Jeff does:
e|-------------------------------------\\\|
B|-------------------------------------\\\|
G|---22HF-22HF-22HF-22HF---15/5-15/5---\\\|
D|-------------------------15/5-15/5---------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

hit that then quickly hit this
e|---26DIVE!|

26 means hit a harmonic near the pickup and then do a slow, sustained whammy dive while:
e|--22~~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~22~~~~~----------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------flutter---|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

This is Kings bit during the first Jeff section

return to section 3 horse flutter!

Do these parts about 3 times or so and then in the distance hit this:
e|--------22-24-20--13--20--21--18--20-21-20-22D|
B|-----15---------------------------------------|
G|--18------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|

repeat these sections and then it ends with horse flutter.(on 18th fret on high e string)

There you go!
E|
