Solo over above pattern
Timing is hard to tab because of all triplets and bends.
I think the bends are at most up one fret.
I've broken it up into (I hope) recognisable riffs with breaks where
Alvin holds the notes.

The fast bit just before the verse starts (help!)
(I think it's a rapid hammer/pull off from C to C, but there
is no way I can play it fast enough to tell if this is right)
