The "4b6b4" means, bend up and back a full tone.
For the long A-chords try something like this on lead guitar.
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| -------- | -------- | -------- | 11--33-- |
| 222-2--- | -2--22-- | --2-2--- | 00--00-- |

| 000-0--- | -0--00-- | --0-0--- | -------- |
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
I'm not saying it's exactly correct, but rather just an estimation with
the feel. What really gets played there seems to slightly vary from one
recording to another.
