Guitar solo:

Here guitar 1 plays what it plays in the section verse

Interlude:
Guitar 2 keeps the fading Gb5 chord in the back while guitar 1 plays this in the back. This is the same as the verse only in this part you play with a more flamenco-esque strumming.

After this you go to pre-chorus 

Chorus:
In this chorus you need to hear the son to know the timing for strumming pattern.  If you are playing the electric part after you play the Ab5 chord you play this (xxx013), you also play this after you play the E5 chord.
