At the point with the pick scrape there is an over dub marking the beginning of the solo. Then there is the following rhythm figure for the guitar solo:

I think that about covers it. One little correction though. The parts in the main riff, you know, where it goes ----5-----4--4-- or ----- 5-p-4-----7--7--. Well, it
-----5-----4--4-- ------5-p-4-----7--7--
---0----0-------- ---0----------0--------
may actually be more like ------5----4--4---4-4-- and ------5-p-4--- 7--7----7-7----
------5----4--4---4-4-- ------ 5-p-4---7---7---7-7----

It’s played so fast you’d hardly notice it anyway but you might want to use those bits just the same for the sake of accuracy.
I’m afraid the guitar solo can’t be transcribed except by one of those publishing companies. You’d need that kind of expertise to get it right. But hopefully the rhythm guitar parts that go with it will help you to improvise a solo of your own as I do when I play this song.
