I ran out of room but at the end of the solo Lee plays XX7777 harmonic and
bends it with a trem bar, or by pulling on the neck.
here is where my notation gets weird.
guitar 1 (again strumming not shown)

guitar 2 plays 002200 with fig 1. and 000000 with fig 2. it sounds bad
when i play it too, but guitar 2 is way down in the mix and i promise that
is what they play.
guitar 2
with FIG 1 (repeat) repeat
| A 17 17 17 16 19 | [ 19 19 19 19 17 16 17 16 ] 16 16 16 16 17 16 17 16 x\ |

trem pick the last slide down.
guitar 1 plays 006600
while guitar 2 plays 886600 then 776600.
guitar 2 continues as above
while guitar 1 repeats:
| A 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |
| A 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |

it ends with Lee dropping the trem bar on 776600 with the top 4 somewhat
muted.
