the next section was a bit difficult to figure out by ear, so they 
might be a little off.  They work perfectly fine if played alone and 
not with the CD.  But if played with the CD they sound a little off.

guitar mini-solos:
#1: high E:-7---7-5~~~~~~---|
            1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

#2:      B:-5b--3-5-3~~~~---|
            1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

(this one's way off if played with the CD)
#3:      B:-12-8--10-7--8--5--7--3~-|
            1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +  |

#4: didn't figure out exactly, but it's essentially a held bent 17th
    on the high E string
