(listen to the song to figure out this part; there's
a triplet I didn't tab)
Now you can either play the melody again, or head to a solo in the
key of F.
Key Of F = F G A Bb C D E F
You can find these notes all over the guitar. As long as you
play these notes, you can solo. You need to learn pentatonic
scales first, then more lateral/horizontal scales.
Solo chords (mainly for two guitarists or a band; one plays chords
while the other solos over them)
| /[F7] / / / |[Bb7] / /[Bdim] / / | /[F7] / / / | / [F7]/ / / | [Bb7]/ / / / | /[Bb7] / / / |

^The / don't mean slide here, they are count markers.
If there is one chord above the measure, it means that chord
is played 4 times or held the entire measure; if the measure
has two chords above it, then each chord receives half the
measure.
Chords used:
F7 - xx3210
Bb7 - x13131

You can use these, or find a chord chart for more bassy chords.
That's all.
