Well that about does it. There are some weird effects used so you can play around with pedals to figure out what those are all about. There is some repeating of Fig A at the end and a little variation that should be easy enough to figure out. Have fun! Modest Mouse rocks!!!
Oh yeah, one more thing, at the end of the solo there is a guitar silence for a minute and the harmonics come back in. At this part the bass changes a little bit to:
