Lotsa solo stuff. Damned fast, but not hard. Usual pentatonic minor soloing.

Bridge

Each chord is a half note, except the E which is 4 quarter notes using only the bottom string. The progression is like this:

Then it`s Ryth Fig 3 for 6 bars. On the sixth bar, another gutair plays the following:

Then it`s 4 chords, with a slight retard:

And of course, it ends with 2 hard E5 chords, and a slide to nothing.
