(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= (133211@1)F (133211@1)name="chord_320003@1">G A (x02220@1)name="chord_x1333x@1">Bb C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D E (022100@1)name="chord_133211@1">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.
The solos can be played on anything - piano, guitar, saxophone,
trumpet, etc.

Solo chords (mainly for two guitarists or a band; one plays chords
while the other solos over them):

F7 (131241@1)    Bb7 (x13131@1)name="chord_1201xx@1">Bdim    F7 (131241@1)       F7 (131241@1)    Bb7 (x13131@1)      Bb7| (x13131@1)/ / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
  1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4

F7 (131241@1)    Amin7 D7 (xx0212@1)  Gmin (3132xx@1)    C7 (x32310@1)   Amin7 D7 (xx0212@1)Gmin7 C7| (x32310@1)/ / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
  1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4

Second time through, you can play the same thing, or this:

F7 (131241@1)    Bb7 (x13131@1)name="chord_1201xx@1">Bdim     F7 (131241@1)    Cmin7 F7 (131241@1)  Bb7 (x13131@1)      Bb7| (x13131@1)/ / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
  1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4

F7 (131241@1)   Amin7 D7 (xx0212@1)   G7 (320001@1)      C7 (x32310@1)    Amin7 D7 (xx0212@1) G7 (320001@1)name="chord_x32310@1">C7
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
  1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4

^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. 
Note: The chords are not maj7, but dom7, dim, and min7.

Chord formulas:
dim -> 1 b3 b5
dom7 -> 1 3 5 b7
min7 -> 1 b3 5 b7
(b in front of number means flat)
