Albert's chords are hard to deciphere here, when Jules says "Oh-I....Can't...Win"

Solo
Guitar 1
With distortion and reverb.
This solo is (rationally!) by no means 100% correct, however it's a starting
point i guess for someone. When there are speech marks (") above a part, that
means it's right, when there's a hash symbol (#) it means it's a cheap escape!
The percentage symbol (%) means fairly sure.
% " " " " " " " " # # # # # # # # % % % % " "
